Raja Jackson, the son of UFC legend Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson, has reportedly cut a plea deal with prosecutors after his arrest last year following a violent assault of a professional wrestler.
The 26-year-old pleaded no contest to one felony count of battery with serious bodily injury at a preliminary hearing on Wednesday, according to the California Post.
The outlet reports that Jackson also admitted to personal infliction of great bodily injury and engaging in violent conduct.
A spokesperson for the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office told the Post that the 26-year-old Jackson is scheduled to be sentenced in late June and could serve “90 days actual county jail,” followed by two years formal probation.
“The defendant is to pay restitution (roughly US$81,000) before he is sentenced,” the spokesperson added.
What happened between Raja and Syko Stu?
Raja was arrested and charged last September for his Aug. 24, 2025 attack on professional wrestler Syko Stu at a Knokx Pro Wrestling event in Los Angeles that was livestreamed on Jackson’s Kick channel.
The incident, which quickly went viral on social media, began when the son of the ex-UFC champion left his ringside seat and entered the ring to confront the former U.S. Army veteran-turned-pro wrestler.
Jackson first picked up Syko Stu and slammed him to the mat, appearing to knock him unconscious. He then rained down 22 vicious punches to Stu’s head and face before several wrestlers stopped the assault.
WARNING: Graphic violence and language
According to TMZ, Los Angeles police “were called to the wrestling event” and “took a police report,” with the investigation leading to Thursday’s arrest.
The brutal attack left Smith hospitalized with a broken jaw, fractured cheekbone, busted lip and several lost teeth. The former military wrestler was released from hospital a week later and has been recovering at home.
Jackson, who was booked on a felony charge of battery with serious bodily injury, spent several hours behind bars before being released on US$50,000 bond, according to the outlet.
What did Rampage Jackson say at the time?
Rampage Jackson has said he believes his son should face the consequences of his actions and serve some time in prison.
“I think that he should do a little time, do a little community service,” he told MMA journalist Ariel Helwani.
Rampage had previously said he would “let justice play out” while expressing his sympathy to Smith.
“I feel bad about what happened to Syko Stu. I don’t condone what my son did at all,” Rampage said during a livestreamed video. “I’m gonna let justice play out. Ain’t much I can do on that side … I just wish I could’ve been there.”
Rampage also said he could’ve stopped the incident from happening if he had been present.
