Overview

• At an Aug. 23 KnokX Pro show in Los Angeles, Raja Jackson left the crowd, entered the ring, and struck Stuart “Syko Stu” Smith repeatedly after a planned spot.
• Smith’s family says he is awake and alert in hospital but still has very serious injuries.
• During an Aug. 28 livestream, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson rebuffed questions—telling a fan “Respectfully, shut the f— up”—and said he has received racist and death threats.
• Wrestler Douglas Malo, who intervened, called the incident “attempted murder” and said he is unsure whether Smith will press charges.
• Jackson also accused online commentator MMA Guru of racism over remarks about Raja, and the YouTuber publicly denied being racist.
