The incident occurred at a Knokx Pro Wrestling event, where Raja appeared in a spot during a match.

The 25-year-old rushed into the ring and hoisted Smith into the air before viciously slamming him to the mat and knocking him out. In addition, he transitioned to top mount and unleashed over 20 unanswered blows before eventually being pulled away by other wrestlers who jumped into the ring. Smith was rushed to the hospital after sustaining serious injuries.

The entire incident was streamed live on Kick, and Raja has been subsequently banned from the platform due to his actions.

Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson reacts to son Raja Jackson getting hit with spinning head kick during light spar

Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson expressed his frustration after his son, Raja Jackson, was hit with a spinning head kick during what was supposed to be a light spar at his gym.

Rampage consoled his son after the incident and addressed the situation on his live stream, stating that his son would have been knocked out if his sparring opponent were not from a lighter weight category.

"You do not do a spinning f*cking headkick when you're going easy. This is not something you do. Because, first of all, you can't even control the power on a spinning kick like that, unless you're f*cking advance. If that guy was Raja's size, his weight class, he would've been knocked out, and I would have been up at that gym, fighting that motherf*ck*r." [Check out 'Rampage' Jackson's comments here.]
