LOS ANGELES (AP) — A professional wrestler has been assaulted in the ring by the son of former UFC champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson.
Raja Jackson climbed into the ring and body-slammed Stuart Smith, known professionally as Syko Stu, before beating the apparently unconscious wrestler at the KnokX Pro Wrestling Academy. The assault was widely viewed online in footage livestreamed Saturday and disseminated across social media.
The academy said Jackson assaulted Smith during a match, going off the normal script to commit the beating. Jackson threw at least 20 punches at the head of the apparently unconscious wrestler.
Other wrestlers eventually separated Jackson from Smith, and Jackson fled the academy, which is located in the Sun Valley neighborhood of Los Angeles.
