Raja Jackson, the son of legendary MMA fighter Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, has been arrested following his brutal off-script attack on Stuart Smith, aka Syko Stu.
Raja was arrested yesterday by the LAPD and is facing a felony charge with a bail amount set for $50,000, according to the booking records.
On August 23 at the KnokX Pro’s KnokXperience event in California, Raja was caught on camera attacking Syko Stu during what was meant to be a scripted appearance. Syko Stu was hospitalized with multiple injuries.
At the time, Raja claimed he had been promised his revenge after Syko Stu slammed a can into his head, unprovoked.
After the attack, Rampage issued a public apology on behalf of his son and claimed they were not in a good place. He is also supportive of his son serving jail time.
“If they try to give him years in prison, then I’mma fight it because I don’t think he deserves years in prison,” he said. “But jail? Let Raja go to jail for a couple days, so he’ll see what it’s like, so he’ll be like, ‘Man, I don’t wanna come back here.’”
