Rampage Jackson's instant reaction to finding out son was involved in violent attack on pro wrestler

Footage of former UFC champion Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson's immediate reaction to son Raja's brutal attack on a pro wrestler has emerged online.

During a live video on steaming platform Kick, Jackson, the 25-year-old son UFC legend Rampage, appeared to assault professional wrestler Stuart Smith at a Knokx Pro Wrestling event in Los Angeles, California.

After the pair had a tense exchange before the event began, Jackson entered the ring and slammed Smith, who uses the ring name Syko Stu, onto the ground, rendering him unconscious.

But the MMA fighter didn't stop there, as he went on to release more than a dozen unanswered punches to the Smith's head before several other wrestlers at the event pulled him away.

The shocking moment left Smith in critical condition and quickly went viral online, eventually reaching Jackson's father, who also happened to live-streaming at the time.

While Raja was at the Knokx Pro Wrestling, his dad was on a livestream with popular Kick infulencer Sneako, leading to his first reaction to his son's actions being caught on camera.

During the stream, the former UFC star tells Sneako that his son has 'broken somebody's face' before taking a phone call in which he asked: "Is Raja in trouble?"

After ending the call, he asks: "Is he going to get banned for it - is it really bad?"

Before being shown the clip, clearly taken aback and shocked at his son's actions.

Eventually, Jackson reacts to the clip, saying: "I hope it was staged... sometimes people do hardcore wrestling.

"Chat, was it hardcore?"

Shortly after seeing the clip, Jackson ended the steam before taking to social media to release a statement once he had time to fully assess the situation.

"I want to clear up the misinformation about my son Raja. I’ve been confirmed that the wrestler ( Stewart Smith aka Syko Stu) is awake and stable," he wrote on X at the time of the incident.

"Raja was unexpectedly hit in the side of the head by him moments before Smith’s match, Raja was told that he could get his “payback”in the ring, I thought it was apart of the show.

"It was bad judgement, and a work that went wrong. Raja is a MMA fighter not a pro wrestler and had no business involved in an event like this.

"I don’t condone my son’s actions AT ALL! He suffered a concussion from sparring only days ago and had no business doing anything remotely close to physical contact.

"As a father, I'm deeply concerned with his health AND the well being of Mr. Smith. That being said I’m very upset that any of this happened ,but my main concern now is that Mr. Smith will make a speedy recovery.

"I apologise on his behalf and to KICK for the situation."

According to reports from TMZ and The New York Times, the Los Angeles Police Department have launched an investigation into the incident.
