Quinton Jackson and the promotion that held the show said the incident involving Raja Jackson and wrestler Stuart “Syko Stu” Smith appeared to be a case of a planned spot gone wrong.

The footage showed Mr. Jackson, son of the former UFC champion Quinton Jackson, punching the wrestler Stuart Smith at least 20 times.

Rampage Jackson apologized on social media on behalf of his son and said the incident was a miscommunication. He said his son was unexpectedly hit in the head moments before Smith's match and was told that he could get his "payback" in the ring as part of the show.
