The son of former UFC champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson pleaded no contest to a felony count of battery with serious bodily injury.

Beyond the 90-day jail term—which began on July 2—Jackson received a strict package of legal penalties. According to PWInsider’s Rosanne Raphael, the court ordered Jackson to pay $81,703.38 in restitution directly to Stewart Smith, professionally known as Syko Stu. Furthermore, Jackson must navigate a two-year period of formal probation under court oversight.

Anatomy of the Ring Attack and Digital Fallout
The incident unfolded during a live-streamed segment at a KnokX Pro Wrestling event, captured in real-time by Jackson via the Kick streaming platform. As the angle progressed, Jackson escalated the physicality by slamming Stu to the mat and delivering a series of unscripted, unprotected punches that left the independent wrestler unconscious. Other performers rushed the ring to pull Jackson away as he yelled that he would “not be taken advantage of” and that “those playing with him would pay,” refusing attempts by peers to de-escalate the situation.
The fallout was swift across both athletic and digital landscapes. Kick moved immediately to ban Jackson’s broadcasting channel for violating safety policies against real-world violence. Law enforcement arrested Jackson the following month, initiating a legal sequence that culminated in his conviction. Meanwhile, medical evaluations following the attack indicated that Stu suffered severe head trauma, casting grave doubts on his athletic future. Reports shortly after the event noted that a return to in-ring competition remained highly unlikely due to the nature of his injuries, though Stu made a public appearance at The Quay Boardwalk at Treasure Island in Las Vegas in April.
Accountability and Restorative Sentiments
Despite the severity of the career-ending injuries sustained during the altercation, the judicial proceedings featured notable displays of restraint from the victim. When Jackson formally began serving his sentence, Stu addressed the court directly to state that he did not hold a personal grudge against his attacker.
