Coach Tim Welch: 'Raja Jackson has got to get | MMA News
Content creator Raja Jackson, son of former UFC mild heavyweight champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, went viral last weekend for all the improper causes.
Jackson brutally attacked skilled wrestler Stuart Smith, AKA Syko Stu, at a KnokX Pro Wrestling event delivering an estimated 22 punches to Smith as he sprawled out on the canvas unconscious. Wrestler Doug Malo, AKA “Doug the Epic,” intervened pulling Jackson off Smith. Smith was transported to a hospital struggling from facial fractures, damaged tooth, and head trauma.
Tim Welch, Sean O’Malley’s coach, believes Jackson has to be held accountable for his actions.
“I can’t even watch this,” Welch said on his YouTube channel while pausing the video after Smith had absorbed 11 punches. “The kid’s blacked out. The kid is blacked out and I think his goal right there was to murder. Maybe not. Maybe not. Blacked out. Maybe he doesn’t know what he’s doing, but he damn near killed the man.”
Malo, who prevented Jackson from additional inflicting injury to Smith, called Jackson’s assault ‘tried homicide.’ Welsh thinks Jackson has to face some punishment.

“He’s got to get some punishment for this,” Welch said. “There’s just going to be no excuse. He’s going to probably go away for a long while.”
“It’s crazy the guy didn’t die from the slam in general, but then the 10 concussions after – God, that’s not good. That is not good,” continued Welch. “You just damn near killed a father of children who is doing this as a hobby. He’s doing this for fun and you damn near kill him.”
Welch believes Jackson’s next battle might be with the legal system. He also thinks Jackson may very well be charged with tried homicide.
“This isn’t going to be good for Raja. Rampage has got money. I mean, they’re going to have some good lawyers. They’re going to have some good lawyers, but it might be attempted murder. I mean, God. … That was f**ked up.”
