Quinton “Rampage” Jackson addressed the shocking events that unfolded in Los Angeles on Saturday night, with his son Raja Jackson the main antagonist.
Videos of Raja attacking an indie wrestler named Stuart Smith, A.K.A. Syko Stu, during a match have been trending online, with the MMA fighter even being accused of attempted murder.
Jackson was shown picking Smith up and slamming him to the mat, knocking him unconscious and then raining down over 20 punches while he lay defenseless. The wrestler was taken to hospital amid fears that he could die, given the failed attempts to revive him at the scene.
