UFC Icon Rampage Jackson has revealed that he wants no part of his son, Raja, after a brutal attack on a wrestler.
Jackson’s son, Raja, initiated an unplanned attack on veteran wrestler Stuart Smith last month.

The attack on Smith, known to fans as Syko Stu, occurred during a livestream at a wrestling event in Los Angeles.
Witnesses shared that Smith was left “choking on his own teeth” after being slammed to the canvas and hit repeatedly in the head as he appeared to be unconscious.
Security and other wrestlers then stepped in to save the 39-year-old Smith.
Clips earlier in the stream were uncovered and displayed how Jackson was in fits of rage by an incident before the event between him and Smith.
Days after the incident, the UFC legend Rampage called his son “stupid” but deflected the blame elsewhere.
However, the 47-year-old has now decided not to talk to his own son.
The former UFC light heavyweight champion Jackson was asked how Raja was doing after the stunning incident.
“I don’t know. I don’t talk to Raja no more. He went against what I told him to do, and he hid that he got wrote into a professional wrestling story,” he replied to Ariel Helwani during his self-titled show.
“Helwani then asked, “Are you at all worried about his well being? I can’t imagine what it would feel like to see my son do that.
“I also don’t think I’d cut my son off.
“If you are worried about his well-being, why are you not talking to him?”
Jackson replied, “Because he dishonored my name. [But] I’m not cutting him off forever, I just haven’t talked to him.
“I talked to him after the s*** happened and he hid the fact that he did this.
“He put my other kids in danger and I just can’t talk to him right now. I need some time.”

“Raja, I think that he should do a little [jail] time, do a little community service, and go to anger management class, get some therapy,” he added.
‘I know my son.
“Raja wasn’t trying to kill nobody. He wasn’t trying to kill that guy.”
Smith was released from the hospital a week after being violently beaten by Raja.

Raja is now under investigation after the violent incident.
Smith’s brother, Andrew, shared an update on his health after the attack.
“Stuart is resting since he sustained severe injuries to his head,” he posted on social media.
“He is currently conscious and able to talk but will have a difficult recovery ahead.
“With all the media and social media attention it’s been hard to get back to everyone.”
“Stuart Smith appreciates all the love and support. He loves wrestling, his wrestling family, and all his fans and supporters.
“Wrestling has been a huge part of his life and he lives to put on a performance.
“He’s also just a regular guy with a life and family outside the ring. His wife Contessa has currently set up a go fund me for those wishing to donate.
“We appreciate all the support during this difficult time, Thank you.”
