Raja Jackson, the 26-year-old son of former UFC star Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson, has accepted a plea deal in connection with a violent wrestling attack that shocked fans last year. The incident occurred during a live wrestling event in Los Angeles in August 2025, where Jackson repeatedly struck wrestler Syko Stu after knocking him unconscious.
Plea Agreement Details
According to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, Jackson pleaded no contest to one felony count of battery causing serious bodily injury. He is expected to be sentenced in June to 90 days in jail followed by two years of probation. Additionally, he must pay nearly $82,000 in restitution to Syko Stu for the injuries sustained during the attack.
Attack Details
Video footage from the event showed Jackson slamming Syko Stu to the mat and landing several hard punches while Stu was already unconscious. Witnesses reported that the attack only stopped after other wrestlers intervened and pulled Jackson away. Syko Stu suffered serious injuries, including facial damage and a broken jaw, and was hospitalized immediately after the incident.
Authorities noted that Jackson could have faced up to seven and a half years in prison if the case had gone to trial. The New York Post first reported the plea agreement.
Possible Motive
Investigators believe the fight may have stemmed from an earlier incident the same day. Reports indicate that Syko Stu, while in character, hit Jackson in the head with a beer can during a wrestling-related moment. Jackson reportedly became extremely angry after that, and hours later, during the live match, the situation turned violent.
Fans at the arena reacted in shock as the attack unfolded. Jackson was not arrested on the night of the incident, but after videos spread online and details of Stu’s injuries became public, police launched an investigation. Nearly a month later, Jackson was arrested at his home in Orange County, California.
Public Reaction
Jackson has not publicly explained his actions or commented on the plea deal. The case has drawn significant attention due to his connection to Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson, a well-known former MMA fighter. Many wrestling and MMA fans have debated whether the punishment is proportionate to the severity of Syko Stu’s injuries.
