The LAPD is investigating the brutal beatdown of a wrestler at a pro wrestling event in Los Angeles that involved the son of former UFC star Quinton “Rampage” Jackson.

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.

MMA legend Rampage Jackson issued a statement after his son, Raja, laid a series of blows on another wrestler during an independent event for Knokx Pro Wrestling on Saturday.
