Former UFC champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson has revealed that he has been the target of death threats and racist messages in the wake of the incident involving his son, Raja Jackson, at a professional wrestling event this past weekend.
‘Rampage’ Jackson Receiving Death Threats
While leaving the Los Angeles International Airport on Monday night, Jackson addressed the situation with TMZ. He stated that the inboxes on his social media accounts have been filled with hateful messages since the incident on Saturday.
“There’s a lot of racist people giving me death threats and stuff like that,” Jackson said. He added that there has been a lot of name-calling as well, with some people calling him a “bad father.” “It’s uncalled for,” he stated before declining to elaborate further.
The Raja Jackson And Syko Stu Incident
The controversy stems from an altercation at a KnokX Pro Wrestling event in Los Angeles on Saturday. Raja Jackson entered the ring for what was supposed to be a planned spot to get “payback” on a wrestler named Syko Stu (Stuart Smith), who had hit him with a beer can earlier in the evening. However, the spot turned into a legitimate attack when Raja knocked Stu unconscious and continued to punch him.
Stu was rushed to the hospital with what his brother called “severe injures to his head,” but as of Monday night, he is “currently conscious and able to talk.” A GoFundMe to help with his medical expenses has already raised over $60,000. The Los Angeles Police Department has confirmed it is investigating the incident.
