Kevin Lee calls for Raja Jackson to face prison after violent assault on Syko Stu
Raja Jackson’s attack on Syko Stu has drawn strong reactions from the MMA community. Former UFC interim lightweight title challenger Kevin Lee is insisting the 21-year-old should be sent to prison.
The incident was streamed live on Kick and left the wrestler in critical condition with severe injuries. Lee and other fighters condemned the act as inexcusable.
Lee took to X to share his thoughts in a video statement, stating:
"Hey, man, [Raja Jackson's] gotta go to prison... I love Rampage. But Rampage, turn your son in. He gotta go lie down for a little bit. If it were my son, that's what I would tell him. You're a grown man, bro. You can't condone that type of behavior."
