Kick reacts to violence
Ex-UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson’s son is in hot water for a brutal assault on an unconscious wrestler.
Raja Jackson’s assault on independent wrestler Stuart Smith in Los Angeles on Saturday has prompted Kick to ban him and the LA Police Department to open an investigation.
Raja’s frenzied attack on Smith at a Knokx Pro Wrestling event
X user @clippedszn shared a video of Raja’s frenzied attack on Smith at a Knokx Pro Wrestling event on Saturday:
Raja’s attack on the allegedly knocked-out Smith was livestreamed. The ex-champ’s son, according to reports, hoisted Smith above his head before slamming him down on the canvas.
The slam appeared to KO Smith. Raja then punched the motionless Smith multiple times, unloading over 20 unanswered punches to the head.
Dad rebukes son
After Raja was pried loose, Smith was immediately taken to hospital with serious injuries.
The beatdown was serious enough to bring the LAPD out to the wrestling event, report the incident, and launch an investigation.
Father Quinton, meanwhile, slammed Raja for his actions. Rampage stated on X that as an MMA fighter and not a pro wrestler, Raja shouldn’t have gotten involved in the LA event.
I don’t condone my son’s actions at all”
“I don’t condone my son’s actions at all. He suffered a concussion from sparring only days ago and had no business doing anything remotely close to physical contact,” he said.
Apology delivered
While also calling his son out for his violence, Rampage wished his victim a quick recovery, and reached out to Kick.
“I’m very upset that any of this happened, but my main concern now is that Mr. Smith will make a speedy recovery. I apologize on his behalf and to Kick for the situation.”
