Raja Jackson, the 25-year-old son of UFC legend Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, was arrested Thursday morning in Los Angeles on felony assault charges following a violent incident at a Knokx Pro Wrestling event last month. Jail records show he remains behind bars on a $50,000 bond.

The altercation traces back to August 24, when Raja clashed with wrestler Syko Stu, real name Stuart Smith. Earlier in the day, Stu struck Raja over the head with a beer can, believing Raja was a wrestler and part of the show. When informed later that Raja was not a trained performer, organizers attempted to smooth things over by offering him a chance to get involved in Stu’s match that evening.
What was supposed to be a minor "receipt" turned into a disturbing real-life assault. During the match, Raja launched a brutal attack on Stu, slamming him to the ground before delivering a long series of ground-and-pound strikes—many landing while Stu appeared unconscious.
The beating left Stu hospitalized with severe injuries, including a fractured maxilla bone, jaw trauma, a lacerated lip, and multiple lost teeth. Thankfully, he was released days later and is now recovering at home.
In a surprising twist, Rampage Jackson publicly admitted his son should face consequences, suggesting jail time, community service, anger management, and therapy to address his actions.
