MMA fighter Raja Jackson allegedly inflicted severe damage on a wrestler, leaving him gasping for breath and nearly losing his teeth, in a brutal assault - with Jackson's brother later providing an update on the victim's deteriorating health.
In a shocking turn of events, professional wrestler Stuart Smith found himself the victim of a violent assault at a wrestling show in Los Angeles. The attack, perpetrated by Raja Jackson, son of UFC icon Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson, left Smith hospitalized with severe injuries to his head.
The incident, which has received significant media and social media attention, took place during a backstage misunderstanding. Jackson body-slammed Smith to the canvas and proceeded to pound his head at least 20 times. Thankfully, the attack was stopped by security and other wrestlers, with Douglas Malo being one of those who intervened.
Malo, a fellow wrestler, was initially alerted to the situation by a whisper that he might be needed to check a scenario. Upon arriving, he witnessed the body slam and the first and second punches during the attack. Malo has since reflected on the incident, expressing his regret for not intervening sooner, specifically during the body slam.
Andrew Smith, Stuart's brother, shared an update on his health following the incident. Smith is currently conscious and able to talk, but his recovery will be a difficult one. Andrew mentioned that it has been hard to get back to everyone due to the attention the incident has received.
Stuart's wife, Contessa, has set up a GoFundMe for those wishing to donate to his recovery. The page has already raised over $70,000 at the time of writing, with Stuart expressing his appreciation for all the love and support he has received.
It's important to note that Smith has a life and family outside the ring. Wrestling has been a significant part of his life, and he enjoys putting on a performance. However, this incident serves as a grim reminder that the world of wrestling, while entertaining, is not without its dangers.
The identity of the wrestler who stopped Raja Jackson during the brutal attack has not been explicitly named in the search results. The incident occurred at a wrestling show in Los Angeles, and later, Jackson accepted an apology from Smith and was even offered a symbolic revenge match in the ring as part of a staged wrestling spot. However, the attack itself went beyond typical wrestling theatrics.
Our thoughts are with Stuart Smith as he continues his recovery. We hope for a speedy and full recovery for him, and we urge everyone to continue showing their support during this difficult time.
