Overview

  • Event footage shows Raja Jackson entering the ring, slamming Stuart “Syko Stu” Smith, and delivering more than 20 punches before others intervened.
  • Smith was hospitalized with serious injuries; family and bystander accounts say he is stable in critical care with facial fractures and significant dental damage.
  • Los Angeles police confirmed they responded to the scene, filed a report, and opened an investigation, with no charging decision announced.
  • KnokX Pro said the sequence was a planned spot that became a “selfish, irresponsible” attack, prompting broader questions about safety protocols and mixing MMA fighters with wrestling performances.
  • Kick removed Jackson from the platform after the clip went viral, and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson issued an apology, noting his son recently suffered a concussion.
