Raja Jackson, son of former UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, recently struck a plea deal with the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office relating to last year’s felony assault case in Sun Valley. That’s where Jackson went off script and beat fellow pro wrestler Stuart “Syko Stu” Smith to a bloody pulp, continuing to rain down punches — despite Smith losing consciousness — until staff intervened.

Jackson, 26, pleaded no contest to one felony count of battery with serious bodily injury, as well as personal infliction of great bodily injury and engaging in violent conduct. The plea agreement is expected to be finalized at next month’s sentencing and put Jackson in county jail for no less than 90 days, followed by two years of formal probation. In addition, Smith will be entitled to $81,703.38 in restitution fees.

That’s according to NY Post.

“Look, he’s my son, I love him dearly, but he dishonored my name,” . “I can’t even put into words how upset I am with my son. He dishonored my name. I’ve been in this sport for a long time, and when he did what he did, everything said, ‘Son of MMA’s Rampage.’ That’s my f—king name. I don’t do that shit. I don’t go around beating people up on the street.”
