Rampage Jackson’s son Raja faces multiple battery charges

Raja Jackson, the son of retired MMA legend Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, will face several criminal charges in connection with an assault that occurred at an August professional wrestling event in Los Angeles.

Jackson, 25, will face one count of battery causing serious bodily injury and one count of misdemeanor battery, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office told the LA Times. A formal criminal complaint has not yet been posted to online records, but it is expected this week.

The incident happened at a KnokX event in Los Angeles. Jackson, who was scheduled to appear in a staged match, knocked wrestler Stuart Smith (also known as Syko Stu) to the ground and continued to punch him even after it appeared he was unconscious. In a live stream before the event, Jackson said he intended to get revenge on Smith, for a brief altercation between the two earlier in the day. Smith had hit Jackson with a beer can as an apparent altercation to promote the event.

According to Smith, he suffered multiple jaw injuries during the attack, as well as severe head injuries, a laceration to his lip and loss of teeth. Jackson was arrested in September in connection with the assault. His father, who competed in the UFC and Pride Fighting Championships, condemned his son’s actions in several interviews and on social media.

Jackson faces up to four years in state prison for this felony charge. According to the LA Times, the district attorney’s office is also expected to seek a “sentencing enhancement” that could increase the length of the prison term.
