MMA Fighter and Son of Ex-UFC Champion Nearly KILLS Pro Wrestler Live — Police Now Investigating the Brutal Assault (VIDEO)
Gateway Pundit ^ | August 25, 2025 | Jim Hᴏft

A shocking scene unfolded at the KnokX Pro Wrestling event on Saturday, when Raja Jackson, son of former UFC light-heavyweight champ Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, launched a vicious, unscripted attack on independent wrestler Stuart “Syko Stu” Smith, leaving him hospitalized and prompting a full-scale criminal investigation.

The shocking scene unfolded during a Knokx Pro Wrestling show and was broadcast on the streaming platform Kick.

Footage shows Jackson storming into the ring, grabbing independent wrestler Stuart Smith, known in the ring as Syko Stu, and violently slamming him onto the mat.

The situation quickly escalated when Jackson mounted the seemingly unconscious wrestler and delivered more than 20 unanswered punches to his head before other wrestlers rushed in to pull him off.

WATCH:

Wrestling reporter Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful claimed that the clash between Raja and Smith was scripted, but Raja’s barrage of heavy punches was not part of the plan.

Smith was rushed to the hospital with serious injuries. Fortunately, he is now reportedly awake and in stable condition.

Douglas Malo, a wrestler who intervened to stop Jackson’s attack, told USA TODAY that Smith was conscious and speaking on Saturday but had sustained multiple facial fractures and lost “a lot of teeth.”

“He was choking on his own blood and teeth,” Malo said, adding, “Somebody reminded me there’s kids there and then I was like ‘oh my God.'”

According to Uncrowned, the clash seemed to have been sparked by a tense encounter between Jackson and Stu earlier that day.

LAPD confirmed to TMZ that officers were dispatched to the scene and documented the incident in a police report. The case is currently under investigation.

Quinton “Rampage” Jackson issued a statement on X emphasizing that his son had suffered a concussion days prior and “had no business” participating. He called Raja’s actions “bad judgment” and “a work that went wrong,” and expressed concern for both his son and Syko Stu’s well‑being and recovery.

Rampage Jackson wrote:

“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.

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.

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.”

Knokx Pro Wrestling condemned the attack Sunday morning, calling it a “heinous” and “egregious act” that crossed every boundary of sports entertainment.

“First and foremost our thoughts and prayers are with our brother Mr. Stuart Smith (Syko Stu) as he remains a priority and we are monitoring his well being.

What was supposed to be a planned and agreed upon wrestling spot, turned into a selfish, irresponsible act of violence against Mr. Smith. This egregious act is reprehensible and never should have occurred.

In the 17 years of operation of KnokX Pro Wrestling Academy, there has never been anything as heinous take place such as this and we apologize to our patrons and fans.”

It’s no excuse just because you’re in a ring.

Made worse by the fact that he was a spectator in the audience before he jumped into the ring.

New Jack/Mass Transit. New Jack was tried for aggravated assault. So trying this idiot is not a stretch.

<< The victim Was participating by choice. He had full knowledge that he could be maimed or killed should things go wrong for him >>

False. It was a staged event, and the perp lost his mind and went off script. The no-impulse-control thug should be prosecuted for attempted murder.

His comment is inaccurate
But I will cede facts and non facts swirl on social media

Blacks at least 90% defend it regardless

It’s how they are in 2025

Worse than we they actually lived segregated by whites at least where I come from

Now you may ask was that wardaddy ?

I don’t know maybe whites then in heavy heavy black populations feared who they’d vote for and their behavior which sadly behavior wise was far better than today

So were they wrong ?

Look around empirically every major city with over 25-30% black population

There is another lesson here on black preponderance for impulsive violence to each other and non blacks

Rural Deep South blacks are by and large ok

In say rolling fork or tchula I as an old six four white can wander up into a Congo like street gathering on Friday nite fearless and treated warmly with greetings and worlds best fried chicken

Not because they fear night riders in f150s

They haven’t been corrupted yet

It’s strange

Only 3% of the U.S. population (black males between the ages 15 and 40) account for nearly 50% of all violent crimes. What a subcultural and national disaster. Enabled by dumbass white libs for around 60 years.

Yessir
Getting a little pushback nowadays but who knows

We treated them like children or pets a long time

The things minority women pundits get away with on old media outlets on TV Is just astounding

The virulence

I can’t find it now but I think Benny had on a real deal black preacher 6-8 weeks ago who told Benny straight up that sadly even decent blacks when given the chance will lash out

May have been over Cincinnati

I looked last nite late after discussing this with my army son and him describing how blacks clique up in even combat infantry

The preacher was like jesse Peterson

Solid and lamented it

Trump could work on black illegitimacy since he carries such a megaphone but his handlers warn why risk alienating that 30% of the black male vote he enjoys

You could couch it properly maybe
