During a match on Saturday night, Raja Jackson, the son of former UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, went into beast mode, viciously hitting his opponent with blows to the head even though he had already been knocked out.
The victim, Stuart Smith, whose ring name is Syko Stu, is shown in the unsettling video from the Kick livestream of the event being thrown to the ground, a technique that apparently knocked him out cold. After that, Raja rides his unconscious body and strikes repeatedly until he is removed.
According to wrestling reporter Sean Ross, Syko ended up in the hospital after the incident, which took place during a private wrestling event hosted by KnokX Pro Academy in Los Angeles.
Real or Staged? Raja Jackson, son of MMA Fighter Rampage Jackson loses it on Pro Wrestler Syko Stu and brutally goes insane! Too much video exists of a pre-fight altercation, the fight and then him on phone in parking finding out the wrestler was still down. What do you think? pic.twitter.com/Kv3bOy1Bqf

Raja Jackson’s father appologises for his son
On X Saturday, Ross stated that although the area was prearranged, the powerful hits “were not planned to do that kind of damage.”
In a post on X, Raja’s well-known father apologized for his son’s conduct and stated that Syko was in “stable condition” after waking up from the violent KO.
Providing an explanation, he claimed that just before the fight, Raja was “unexpectedly hit in the side of the head” by Syko and that “Raja was told that he could get his ‘payback’ in the ring.”
In an internet video, Syko Stu is seen slamming a can into Raja’s head, almost causing the rivals to spar before the big bout. Curiously, before facing each other in the ring, the couple can be seen shaking hands and making up in clips from the Kick broadcast.
Rampage, however, wrote… “Raja is an MMA fighter, not a professional wrestler, and had no business involved in an event like this,” expressing his disapproval of his son’s continuous strikes throughout the ring fight. He had no business making any kind of physical contact after suffering a concussion from sparring just a few days prior.
