Horrifying scenes unfolded live on Kick involving UFC legend Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson's son, Raja Jackson. Raja was involved in a violent sequence at KNOKX PRO wrestling, where he seems to have injured pro-wrestler Stewart Smith aka Syko Stu.

The seemingly near-fatal beatdown has sparked outrage among fight fans, with some questioning the training Raja received ahead of the spot. Meanwhile others were upset with the promotion as to how this was allowed to happen.

According to a leaked phone call, Jackson was supposed to execute a double leg takedown on Smith before hitting him with some fake shots. The 25-year-old, however, dove into the ring to violently slam his opponent to the canvas.

Smith, who already seemed to have lost consciousness after the slam, suffered a continually worsening fate as Jackson unleashed shots to his head, forcing other performers to pull him away from the wrestler.

Following the incident, 'Rampage' has released a statement apologizing for his son's actions, while revealing that Smith is awake and stable.

As the UFC legend sees it, Raja should not have been involved in a combat sport/event after having suffered a concussion in sparring a few days ago.
