A disturbing video captured at a wrestling event in California shows the son of UFC fighter Rampage Jackson attacking wrestler Syko Stu in the ring, leaving him seemingly unconscious.
Raja Jackson leaped into the ring to confront Syko Stu during the Knokxperience event at Knokx Pro on Saturday in Sun Valley. Earlier that night, there were reports that Stu had slammed Raja’s head with a can outside the venue, and Raja seized the opportunity to retaliate.
Rampage Jackson later addressed the situation on X.
“I want to clarify some misinformation about my son Raja. I’ve checked and confirmed that the wrestler, Stewart Smith (aka Syko Stu), is stable,” Rampage wrote. “Raja unexpectedly struck him at the side of the head just before Smith’s match. Raja was advised he could ‘recover’ in the ring. This was a poor decision on his part. Raja is not a pro wrestler and shouldn’t be involved in such events.”
“I do not condone my son’s actions. He just suffered a concussion from sparring a few days prior, and engaging in physical contact was inappropriate. He genuinely cares about Mr. Smith’s health. I am upset about what transpired, but my primary concern is for Mr. Smith’s quick recovery. I apologize for the incident.”
Jason Whitlock, host of “Jason Whitlock Harmony,” commented on the situation, saying, “This looks like one of those videos that raise eyebrows. Could it be that Rampage’s son jumped in just to provoke this guy?”
Interestingly, the incident was streamed live on Raja’s platform, where he had previously explained his intentions regarding Syko Stu.
“He’s a streamer building his audience and trying to gain popularity. He’s been caught up in this conflict due to social media dynamics in the world we’ve created,” Whitlock elaborated.
Whitlock further remarked, “This appears to be an exaggerated promotional stunt. You’ll be amazed at what desperate and unqualified individuals will do to chase fame and fortune.”
