Overview

  • Los Angeles police say detectives are investigating the August 23 incident as felony battery, and no arrest had been reported by Wednesday.
  • Quinton “Rampage” Jackson said he does not condone Raja Jackson’s actions, reported receiving racist death threats, and expressed a desire to meet Stuart Smith to apologize as a father.
  • Kick confirmed it banned Raja Jackson’s account, citing rules that prohibit excessive violence on the platform where the bout was streamed.
  • KnokX Pro Wrestling apologized and said a planned spot devolved into real violence, as witnesses described Raja being urged to deliver a “receipt” before entering the ring.
  • Smith sustained severe head and facial injuries but is conscious and able to speak, according to relatives, and a family GoFundMe has drawn tens of thousands of dollars.
