Quinton “ Rampage ” Jackson has spoken publicly again about his 25-year-old son, Raja, following the incident in which the young man brutally assaulted and hospitalized professional wrestler Syko Stu during the KnokXperience pro-wrestling event in Los Angeles last Saturday. While not condoning the act, Rampage explained that he has been trying to support his son as he grapples with the effects of a recent personal trauma.
In a live broadcast, the former UFC champion revealed that Raja has changed significantly since his mother was murdered. Jackson admitted that he has been trying to cheer his son up and help him, but that he doesn't know how to handle the situation.

"My son hasn't been the same since his mother was murdered. He's not. And I know it. I've been trying to be there for him, make him laugh and cheer him up, but I'm not a psychiatrist. I don't know what to do. I know my kids, he hasn't been the same with me. He wants to be more of a man, more this, more that. I don't know how to deal with this shit," he concluded.
The fighter also addressed criticism from fans and internet users about his behavior as a father.
"Say what you want about me, twist my words, that's fine. I hope none of your children make a mistake so serious that they judge their paternity. In the end, when justice is served, I will continue to be a father who loves all his children," he wrote on his X account.
Brutally assaulted by Raja Jackson, Syko Stu remains hospitalized, but recent photos indicate he is awake and conscious. His family has created a crowdfunding campaign on GoFundMe to help pay for his treatment and rehabilitation.
