Overview

• Video from the Aug. 23 Los Angeles show on Kick shows Raja Jackson slamming Stuart “Syko Stu” Smith and delivering roughly 15–22 unanswered punches before others intervened.
• The Los Angeles Police Department responded to the venue, filed a report, and is reviewing evidence as part of an active investigation.
• Family and associates report Smith is awake and stable yet in critical care with serious facial and dental injuries, including broken bones and lost teeth.
• Kick has banned Raja Jackson from the platform, and KnokX Pro condemned the incident as a planned spot that turned into an irresponsible act of violence.
• Quinton “Rampage” Jackson apologized, calling it a work that went wrong and noting his son’s recent concussion, while reports and an X community note dispute the timing and intent as potentially premeditated.
