Overview

• Los Angeles County records show Jackson was taken into custody on Sept. 18 on a felony-level charge and is being held on $50,000 bail.
• The Aug. 23 incident at a KnokX Pro event was captured on a Kick stream, showing Jackson entering the ring, slamming Stuart “Syko Stu” Smith, and punching him repeatedly while he lay motionless.
• Police responded to the venue that night and filed a felony battery report, and the subsequent investigation drew on multiple videos and witness accounts.
• Smith was hospitalized with serious facial and jaw injuries, was released home on Aug. 31, and is recovering as supporters fundraise for medical and income needs.
• Kick banned Jackson’s account, KnokX condemned the violence as a planned spot that went too far, and Jackson’s father publicly criticized his actions and called for accountability.
