Rampage Jackson hits out at racists after son Raja leaves Syko Stu in critical care

Former UFC champion Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson has issued a statement calling out racist hate he's received following his son Raja Jackson's attack on wrestler Stuart 'Syko Stu' Smith.

The 25-year-old MMA fighter horrified onlookers when he jumped into the ring at the KnokX Pro Wrestling event in Los Angeles on August 23 and beat the wrestler unconscious until he was 'choking on blood and teeth'.

While Rampage quickly announced he didn't condone his son's actions, the former pro fighter did take to social media to call out the blatant racism and death threats he'd received following the incident.

"All I can say is a lot of racist people giving me death threats and stuff like that,” Jackson told TMZ. “Like I’m a puppet master. Calling me a bad father. It’s uncalled for.

The 47-year-old has doubled down on X, once again hitting out at those who are judging his parenting.

"Say what you want about me, twist my words all you want, hopefully none of your kids f**k up bad enough to have people judge your parenting," he wrote.

"When all is said and done, when justice takes place no matter what happens I’ll still be a parent that loves ALL his kids."

Rampage added: "I’m allowed to complain about the racism, two human beings were involved in this incident. But hey it’s the internet be yourself."

The fighter previously apologised for his son's actions, claiming he'd been concussed just days earlier while sparring and had 'no business doing anything close to physical contact'.

"As a father, I’m deeply concerned with his health and the well-being of Mr Smith," he said.

"That being said, I’m very upset that any of this happened, but my main concern now is that Mr Smith will make a speedy recovery."

Syko Stu has now woken up in hospital and is said to be in a stable condition, however his wife Contessa Patterson has said the US Army veteran has an 'intense recovery' journey ahead of him before he 'regains good health.'

"Stuart Smith is a US Army veteran who used wrestling as an outlet to deal with his PTSD," she explained. "This incident has not only caused major physical harm, but will also disrupt his career inside the ring and outside of it."

She set up a GoFundMe to help raise some money to finance his medical recovery and recoup some of the 39-year-old's loss of earnings.
