Raja Jackson, the son of former UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, appeared to brutally assault a professional wrestler at an independent wrestling event in California on Saturday.

Rampage Jackson apologized on social media on behalf of his son and said the incident was a miscommunication. He said his son was unexpectedly hit in the head moments before Smith's match and was told that he could get his "payback" in the ring as part of the show.

Raja Jackson, an MMA fighter whose father is ex-UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton Jackson, recently turned pro. Saturday, videos streamed on Kick showed the 25-year-old Jackson backstage at a Knokx Pro Wrestling event in Southern California.
