Quinton "Rampage" Jackson has publicly called for his son, Raja Jackson, to face legal consequences and serve "a little jail time" for his assault on Syko Stu.

No arrest warrant has officially been issued for Raja, with reports indicating that law enforcement is still conducting investigations and interviews.
Rampage Jackson Weighs In On Son's Assault Incident
Quinton "Rampage" Jackson is not in support of his son Raja Jackson's vicious attack on Syko Stu, which happened during a live-streamed wrestling show in Los Angeles on Aug. 23.
In a viral social media clip, the 25-year-old fighter interrupted the match between Syko Stu and some other fighters, picking up and slamming the military veteran before proceeding to punch him 22 times, out of which 18 landed on his face.
During his appearance on "The Ariel Helwani Show," Rampage condemned his son's acts and revealed that he has now cut him off since the incident, per the New York Post.
"I don't talk to Raja no more," he said. "I talked to him, I heard his story, and I heard some stuff, and then after I learned a whole lot of stuff about it."
"He dishonored my name," Rampage continued. "I know he's my f-cking son. I'm not cutting him off forever. I just haven't talked to him. I talked to him after this sh-t happened, and he hid the fact that he did this sh-t, and you know, put my other kids in danger based off what other people said. I just can't talk to him right now."
Rampage Jackson Says He Is Waiting For An 'Arrest Warrant' For His Son
According to the news outlet, Raja's appearance at the event was scripted, and it was actually planned for him to pick up Syko Stu, whose real name is Stuart Dimmitt.
However, things quickly went out of control when he repeatedly struck him on the face, rendering him unconscious and in need of medical attention.
The former UFC light heavyweight champion said his son was "wrong," and "went against what I told him to do," but noted that Syko Stu was partly to blame.
"Raja is not a pro wrestler; he is a fighter. He's not a pro wrestler. He had no business in that ring," Rampage said on the show.
He then went further to call for Raja's arrest, saying his family was waiting for an arrest warrant to be issued by the authorities.
"I was going to turn him in. We've been waiting for an arrest warrant or whatever," he said. "I'm not surprised Raja hasn't been arrested. I feel the police are doing a deep investigation because this is not the first time something like this has happened in pro wrestling."
Rampage Jackson Wants Raja To Do 'A Little Time' In Jail And Go For Therapy
Rampage also called for his son to do "a little time" in jail and go for therapy to manage his emotions better.
He told the podcast that he believes his son's attack is being treated differently because it's a "high-profile case" that was live-streamed on another platform.
"I think he should do a little time, do a little community service, and go to anger management class, get some therapy," the former UFC fighter said.
According to reports, the incident stemmed from a pre-match fallout where Syko Stu smashed a can of beer onto Raja's head. However, his father doesn't believe his actions were a match to the alleged initial offense.
"Yes, my son took it too far, but he knows better. He knows he's wrong for getting involved in a pro wrestling match," Rampage noted.
The Wrestler Defended His Son Against Attempted Murder Allegations
Host Ariel Helwani then brought up that some people actually believe that Raja was attempting to take Syko Stu's life, but Rampage was quick to refute the claims, saying his son would never do that.
"It wasn't attempted murder because he wasn't trying to kill that guy," he said.
"How do you know?" Helwani asked.
"Because that's my son. I know my son. Raja wasn't trying to kill anybody. He wasn't trying to kill that guy. He wasn't trying to kill that guy. Roger probably didn't even know how bad he hurt that guy. He wasn't trying to kill that guy," Rampage replied.
Rampage Jackson Blamed The Show's Promoters For Putting His Son In 'That F-cking Ring' With Syko Stu
Rampage also called out the show promoters, seemingly blaming them for putting his son in the ring as a "pro wrestler."
"Raja was in the act as a pro wrestler, but he ain't no f-cking pro wrestler. The promoters had no reason putting my son in that f-cking ring. But it was no attempted f-cking murder," he said, per TMZ.
Meanwhile, Syko Stu's wife recently gave a health update on her husband, announcing that he was out of the hospital and is recovering at home.
