Jackson threw at least 20 blows to the fighter&#8217;s head, who was apparently unconscious.\n\nOther fighters finally separated Jackson from Smith, and Jackson fled the academy, located in the Sun Valley neighborhood in Los Angeles.\n\nThe Los Angeles Police Department responded to the academy and is investigating the incident. A spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for additional details.\n\nKnokX Pro Entertainment &amp; Academy published a statement on its Facebook page condemning Jackson&#8217;s actions. The post indicated that it is &#8220;monitoring&#8221; Smith&#8217;s health.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;What was supposed to be a planned and agreed-upon match turned into an act of selfish and irresponsible violence against Mr. Smith,&#8221; the statement said. &#8220;This heinous act is reprehensible and should never have happened. In the 17 years of KnokX Pro Wrestling Academy&#8217;s operation, something as heinous as this has never happened and we apologize to our customers and fans.&#8221;<\/p><cite>KnokX Pro Entertainment &amp; Academy<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nSmith has professionally presented himself as a U.S. military veteran who adopted wrestling as a tool to manage post-traumatic stress disorder.\n\nRaja Jackson, 25 years old, is also a mixed martial arts artist, losing his only professional fight in 2023.\n\nRampage Jackson posted a statement on social media saying that Smith is &#8220;awake and stable&#8221;.\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n  \n  \n  \n  \n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n\nHe also claimed that the aggression was part of a previously planned performance that &#8220;went wrong&#8221; after Smith apparently angered Raja Jackson by unexpectedly hitting him in the head earlier that day before the match.\n\n&#8220;A Raja was told he could &#8216;get revenge&#8217; in the ring,&#8221; Rampage Jackson wrote. &#8220;I thought it was part of the show. It was poor judgment and a job gone wrong. Raja is an MMA fighter, not a professional wrestler, and had no business being involved in an event like this. I DO NOT condone my son&#8217;s actions AT ALL! He suffered a concussion from a fight just a few days ago and had no business doing anything remotely close to physical contact.&#8221;\n\nRampage Jackson was UFC light heavyweight champion in 2007 and 2008, and fought for several MMA promotions until 2019. He has also worked as a professional wrestler and actor, notably for playing B.A. Baracus in the 2010 film reboot of &#8220;The A-Team&#8221;.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A widely circulated video shows the son of former UFC champion Quinton &#8220;Rampage&#8221; Jackson repeatedly hitting a seemingly unconscious professional wrestler in the ring.
