Quinton Rampage Jackson publicly challenged an online commentator known as MMA Guru after criticising Jackson’s response to his attack on his son Raja Jackson’s wrestler Syko Stu. The conflict stems from a different interpretation of the incident at the Knokx Pro Wrestling event in Los Angeles and accusations of racial bias in MMA Guru’s commentary.
Raja Jackson Wrestling Incident
On August 23, 2025, Raja Jackson entered the ring during a live streaming match, delivering a dozen chasing punches to the wrestler’s head after Shiko Stor, who portrayed a body slam, unconsciously made him. The victim was seriously injured and hospitalized in a dangerous state, and Raja faced potential legal consequences.
Over the next few days, Lampage Jackson issued a statement dealing with both violence and public response, offering sympathy for Syko Stu’s family and defending his son’s first response as a misunderstanding born out of the wrestling gimmick.
MMA Guru and Rampage Jackson
MMA Guru, a YouTube commentator with key supporters, described Raja’s actions as “silly animals without impulse control,” framed them as criminal acts alone, dismissing the context of self-omit or confusion over wrestling choreography.
Rampage recognized these statements as racial stereotypes. During the live stream of the kick platform, Jackson accused the MMA leading figure of injecting the race into the discussion, saying that commentators’ choice of language and repeated emphasis on the background of the Rajah amounted to racism.
Rampage then issued a longer statement on social media, dealing directly with MMA Guru’s criticism and anticipating legal action to depreciate the character. He said:
“I was telling people like MMA gurus to stop streaming, and he was trying to dig into the past, and he’s been depreciating his personality. He’s an uneasy idiot. He seems to have been having uneasy problems all along.
Rampage stresses that social media allows open criticism, but also takes responsibility, and believes that MMA gurus crossed the line with personal attacks rather than fair analysis.
MMA Guru’s initial remarks drew support from viewers who prioritize objectional violence condemnation, but Jackson’s defense resonates with those concerned about the racial double standards of sports commentary. Both sides are using social media platforms to mobilize their audiences.
Legal experts suggest that to prove an honorable and harmful act against a public figure, it is necessary to present false statements made with actual malicious intentions. Lampage’s threat to pursue legal action could be more useful as a deterrent to further personal attacks rather than formal litigation. Meanwhile, the MMA leading figure responded by doubling the characteristics of Raja’s criminal behavior, dismissing allegations of racism in an attempt to bias against the seriousness of the assault.
