Recently, at Knokx Pro’s Knokx Experience event, the son of former UFC Champion, Rampage Jackson, Raja Jackson, made an appearance. He had ‘shoot’ attacked one of the wrestlers, Syko Stu. Jackson reportedly was scheduled to make an appearance at the event and start a feud against Stu. But Jackson decided to go off-script and beat up the wrestler who was already knocked out.

TMZ says the Los Angeles Police Department was called to the wrestling event Saturday night. The cops opened a police report and now the incident is being investigated.
Syko Stu was reportedly sent to the hospital as a result, but he is now said to be stable and will make a full recovery. A source also told TMZ they “guarantee” Raja will never be allowed at a KnokX Pro event again, and called his actions a “selfish, irresponsible act of violence.”
Raja’s father is UFC legend Rampage Jackson
Following the event, Rampage Jackson took to Twitter to make a statement on his son’s attack. He revealed that Syko Stu was stable. He also stated that the entire incident was a ‘work’ that went wrong.
“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. 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 a part 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, im 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 apologize on his behalf and to KICK for the situation,” Rampage Jackson tweeted.

Rusev says there is no excuse for Raja Jackson and his actions
Following the unexpected incident, former WWE United States Champion Rusev took to Twitter to share that he had trained with Syko Stu and that the two have known each other for 15 years and that there is no excuse for what had happened inside the squared circle.
“I’ve known and trained with @SykoStu for 15 years. He is a former US Army veteran and amazing guy. There are no excuses for what happened in that ring. Praying for strong Kick out,” Rusev tweeted.
