Logan Paul, the YouTuber-turned-wrestler, has condemned MMA fighter Raja Jackson for his violent behavior during a recent wrestling event, stating that Jackson’s actions warrant imprisonment. The incident occurred on August 23 at a KnokX Pro Wrestling Academy show, sparking outrage across the wrestling and MMA communities. This article explores Logan Paul on Raja Jackson attack and the fallout from the incident.
Violent Outburst at KnokX Pro Wrestling Academy
Raja Jackson, son of former UFC star Rampage Jackson, was involved in a disturbing incident during a scheduled wrestling spot with professional wrestler Syko Stu. The planned cooperation quickly went awry when Raja unexpectedly slammed Stu onto the mat, then proceeded to aggressively strike him repeatedly. These punches left Stu unconscious and required hospitalization, raising serious concerns about sportsmanship and safety in live wrestling performances.
Logan Paul Reacts Strongly to the Assault
On his IMPAULSIVE podcast, Logan Paul did not hesitate to criticize Raja Jackson’s actions, emphasizing the severity of the assault. Paul argued that Raja’s behavior went far beyond acceptable boundaries and deserves legal consequences.
“He(Raja Jackson) belongs in jail. I firmly 1000% believe he belongs in jail. Assault is an understatement. He tried to kill a man, and it was a live stream on his Kick channel. Because you are an angry young man who has a lot of pent-up aggression, and you think people are playing with you or whatever your interpretation of life is that’s happening, or however you were treated in your life, doesn’t mean you get to get in a ring and beat up a performer,” he said.

Having participated in numerous high-profile wrestling matches, Paul highlighted how wrestling relies heavily on trust between performers, which Raja violated in a dangerous way.
“You’re in there trusting each to put on a performance and make something look good and entertaining. To completely go off script and try to f*cking kill someone is insane. It’s criminal. It’s criminal behavior. I couldn’t believe what I was watching when I saw the video. 21, 22 punches,” he added.
