The son of UFC legend Rampage Jackson is in court
Prosecutors have 'make a decision' on charging Raja Jackson after an alleged incident involving wrestler Syko Stu.
In August, Jackson, the son of former UFC light-heavyweight champion Quinton 'Rampage Jackson' allegedly attacked the wrestler at an independent wrestling event in Los Angeles.
Footage showed Jackson entering the ring before an alleged confrontation began in the ring.
Now, according to the LA Times, Jackson will be charged with one count of misdemeanour battery in connection with the incident at a KnobX Pro Wrestling Academy event. Prosecutors will also seek for a sentencing enhancement, claiming that Stuart suffered great bodily injury during the attack.

Jackson allegedly slammed the wrestler to the mat before punching him in the head and face more than 20 times.
The case attracted widespread attention, with Raja Jackson arrested by Los Angeles police on suspicion of felony assault last month, but later released on bail.
According to the district attorney's office, a criminal complaint is expected to be filed on Monday.
The LA Times also reported that calls and emails to Jackson and his representatives were not been immediately returned, and it remains unclear whether he had retained an attorney.
Jackson is expected to appear in court later this week for his arraignment.
