Raja Jackson was arrested on Thursday morning for attacking independent wrestler Stewart Smith (a/k/a Syko Stu) at a KnokX Pro event on August 23 in Sun Valley, California. TMZ reports that Raja, son of MMA legend Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, was charged with a felony. Read more on the story at TMZ.com.
Powell’s POV: Online footage showed Smith strike Jackson with a beer can outside the venue before the KnokX Pro event. Smith reportedly apologized and said he thought Jackson was a fellow wrestler. During the show, Jackson attacked Smith in the ring and appeared to knock him out with one punch, and then continued to throw a barrage of punches until he was finally pulled away. It was a disgusting incident and I’m surprised it took as long as it did for Raja to be arrested. Fortunately, Smith is said to be on the road to recovery.
Good. Act like a thug and that’s what happens
