Quinton "Rampage" Jackson shared on a Kick stream on Tuesday that he believes his son Raja "hasn't been the same" since the death of his mother.
On a livestream titled, "Addressing it once, then we move forward," Jackson spoke about noticing a change in Raja after "his mom got murdered." The former UFC champion said he has tried to "everything" to help out his eldest son during this difficult time, but he has remained distant.
"All I'm gonna say is that my son hasn't been the same since his mom got murdered," Jackson said around the 2:25:00 mark. "He hasn't, and I know that. I've been trying to be there for him, make him laugh, cheer him up, everything, but I'm not a psychiatrist."
"I don't know what the fuck to do," he continued. "I know my kids. He hasn't been the same…with me. He's just been distant from me. He wanna be more of a man."
Jackson concluded, "I don't know how to deal with this shit."
Information regarding the death of Raja's mother is unclear.
After knocking out Syko Stu with a slam during Knokx Pro Wrestling event on Saturday, Raja punched the visibly unconscious wrestler in the face over 20 times, and only stopped because wrestler Douglas Malo forcibly restrained him. The horrific scene was captured on Raja's Kick stream and resulted in him getting banned.
"I think he would have killed him," Malo said on the Scaling Up Podcast. "I promise you, he would have killed him."
When Rampage spoke out for the first time about the incident, he confessed to being "deeply concerned with his health AND the well being," possibly hinting at his son's struggles since the death of his mother.
In his statement, Jackson said Stu unexpectedly struck his son with a beer can on the side of his head prior to the attack, and told he could "get his 'payback' in the ring."
The mixed martial artist failed to mention that Stu can be seen on the livestream apologizing to Raja several times for the misunderstanding.
"Tired of motherfuckers playing with me, bruh," Raja said on stream while leaving the venue. "One of them’s a bitch and fucking bit me."
"I'm not no fucking bitch, bro," he added. "At the end of the day, I'm gonna stand up for my fucking self."
Stu's brother Andrew Smith revealed in a Facebook post on Monday that the wrestler has regained consciousness, and has "some recollection of events from the day of the attack."
The incident is being investigated by the LAPD.
