Viral Kick Fight Video Allegedly Involving Rampage Jackson’s Son Stirs Controversy

Rampage Jackson’s son, Raja Jackson, might have been arrested after a video of a fight went viral. The son of the UFC legend is facing backlash after a brutal attack on wrestler Syko Stu during the Knokx Pro Wrestling event, which was live-streamed on the platform Kick.

In the video footage of the match, which was supposed to be a staged match, Raja seemed to have escalated the whole situation as he delivered a series of 20 punches on Stu, whose real name is Stuart Smith, after an apparent knockout. The assault had surprised those in attendance as well as the viewers online, and Stuart appeared unconscious with a bloodied face and had to be rushed to the hospital for treatment.

Following this, Raja started receiving severe backlash on social media, was banned from Kick, and became the center of accountability and better safety measures at wrestling events.

Rampage Jackson addresses the scandal

Raja's father, Ramapage Jackson, whose real name is Quinton Randi Jackson, had to come out and address the circumstances, as there were quite a few rumours flying around regarding Stu and Raja.

He wrote on X, “I want to clear up the misinformation about my son Raja. I’ve been confirmed that the wrestler ( Stewart Smith aka Syko Stu) is awake and stable."

He added, defending his son, “Raja was unexpectedly hit in the side of the head by him moments before Smith’s match, Raja was told that he could get his “payback” in the ring, I thought it was apart of the show. It was bad judgement, and a work that went wrong. Raja is a MMA fighter not a pro wrestler and had no business involved in an event like this. I don’t condone my son’s actions AT ALL! He suffered a concussion from sparring only days ago and had no business doing anything remotely close to physical contact.”

Rampage Jackson concluded his statement, "As a father, im deeply concerned with his health AND the well being of Mr. Smith. That being said I’m very upset that any of this happened, but my main concern now is that Mr. Smith will make a speedy recovery. I apologize on his behalf and to KICK for the situation.”

Any official consequences for the fighter have not been revealed yet, and since there were rumors about Syko Stu, who is a professional wrestler, with some questioning if he had passed away from the assault, Rampage Jackson's statement seems to have placated the situation for now.
