Raja Jackson, son of UFC legend and son of former light heavyweight champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, is in serious hot water after attacking a wrestler from the Knokx Pro Wrestling Organization known as Syko Stu.
It appears that Raja has reached his boiling point after hitting his head with a can in the backstage parking lot of the event. The tense moment between the two was interrupted when the other wrestlers informed Stu that Raja was not actually a “worker” (professional wrestler).
STU can be seen stretching his hands over and over to shake hands. After appearing to accept the apology, Raja Jackson was encouraged by members of the organization to “recover the receipt” in the ring. At some point, a signal is given to enter the ring.
The events leading up to the attack, and soon the attack, were all documented via Raja’s kickstream. A detailed breakdown of the incident was conducted by YouTuber Mand. He released a video that analyzes footage from the stream. This is the first video on Mand’s Channel, and has earned over 1 million views within 24 hours.
Needless to say, both the MMA community and the broader internet/streaming audience are shocked and disturbed by the act.
