Action Taken Against Raja Jackson Following Assault on Syko Stu
A decision has finally been made on Raja Jackson following his assault on professional wrestler Syko Stu.
Syko Stu - real name Stuart Smith - was attacked by Jackson, son of former UFC light-heavyweight champion Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson, during an unplanned assault at an independent wrestling event in Los Angeles last month.
Jackson, who has had one professional MMA fight in his career, entered the ring, slammed Syko Stu onto the canvas and punched him repeatedly in the head that was streamed live on Kick.
Syko Stu's wife, Contessa Patterson, launched an official GoFundMe campaign to help cover medical expenses after he suffered numerous injuries, including trauma to both the upper and lower jaw.

An investigation was launched by local police and a verdict has been reached.
Jackon has been arrested and was taken into custody on Thursday and booked on a felony charge.
The specific charge is still unknown, but he remains behind bars and is facing a $50,000 bond, according to TMZ Sports.
Speaking to Ariel Helwani earlier this month, 'Rampage' actually stated his son should go to jail for his actions.
"If the judge thinks he should go to jail, yeah, I think Raja should go to jail, so he’ll learn not to do this sh*t no more," he said. "Like, you gotta control your emotions. People are saying he should go to jail for 10 years, no, he should go to jail, not prison. He should go to jail. Do a little time, and then get some therapy, and learn from this.
"If they try to give him years in prison, then I’mma fight it because I don’t think he deserves years in prison. But jail? Let Raja go to jail for a couple days, so he’ll see what it’s like, so he’ll be like, 'Man, I don't wanna come back here'.
"I think that he should do a little time," he added. "Do a little community service, and go to anger management class, seek some therapy."
