The saga just doesn’t end for former UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson and his son Raja Jackson, even almost two months later. After all, when you’re the son of a high-profile figure who gets involved in an incident that could have taken a man’s life, the backlash isn’t fading anytime soon.

In the latest, ‘Rampage’ Jackson was live-streaming to fans while grabbing a quiet meal at a restaurant when one simple question lit the fuse. The restaurant owner, unaware of the sensitive territory he was stepping into, asked, “Where your son at?” What followed was an explosion of anger that sent the internet into overdrive.

Rampage Jackson explodes on Kick stream over a question about his son, Raja

In a recent clip from Rampage Jackson’s Kick stream, shared on X by Parry Punch, the UFC legend can be seen walking out of a restaurant before the owner asks him the aforementioned question. Rampage, visibly agitated, snapped back, “F— wrong with you? B— a– n—. F— wrong with you asking me some sh— like that? Why you asking me some sh— like that? Shut the f— up.”

Within seconds, the UFC legend stormed out, his livestream on Kick capturing every moment. The clip, now viral, painted a raw picture of a father still reeling from a scandal that refuses to leave his shadow. Back in August at the KnokX Pro Wrestling Academy in Sun Valley, California, Rampage’s 25-year-old son, Raja Jackson, turned a staged wrestling act into a real-life nightmare.

Raja, a trained mixed martial artist, was a guest at the show when wrestler Stuart ‘Syko Stu’ Smith smashed a (prop) beer can over his head, in what was a misunderstanding before the event. Raja didn’t take it as a performance. What happened next was anything but professional wrestling. When the time came for his bit, Raja entered the ring, scooped Smith over his shoulder, and slammed him to the mat before raining down over 20 punches to his face.

As per reports, Smith was hospitalized for a week, suffering multiple injuries to his jaw, a head injury, losing several teeth, and suffering a deep lip gash. Prosecutors later filed one felony and one misdemeanor battery charge, adding an enhancement for “great bodily injury.” Raja pleaded not guilty but now faces serious prison time.

Rampage, for his part, has publicly condemned his son’s actions. “I don’t talk to Raja no more,” he admitted during The Ariel Helwani Show. “I talked to him, I heard his story, and I heard some stuff, and then after I learned a whole lot of stuff about it. He dishonored my name. I know he’s my f—ing son. I’m not cutting him off forever…  I just can’t talk to him right now.”

For a man who built his career on aggression, channeled through discipline, the heartbreak of watching his son lose control on camera seems to have cut deep. As such, when you view his recent outburst through that lens, it makes more sense. So, when that restaurant owner asked, “Where your son at?”, the eruption wasn’t just anger; it was grief, guilt, and exhaustion rolled into one. Yet, the former champion is still keeping track of the fight world as he recently gave his verdict on Jiri Prochazka’s epic win over Khalil Rountree Jr. at UFC 320!

Rampage lays out his game plan to beat “weird” Jiri Prochazka

Jiri Prochazka is a force inside the Octagon. He’s stopped Dominick Reyes, Glover Teixeira, Aleksandar Rakić, and Jamahal Hill. He’s only lost to Alex Pereira in his last 18 fights. That record alone makes him a living highlight reel. So why does Rampage Jackson think he’d handle him in his prime?

Speaking on The JAXXON Podcast, ‘Rampage’ didn’t mince words as he explained, “I’ll f— Jiri up. I think why I will f— him up, because he is weird, When I fought Keith Jardine, I put him in the same thing as Keith Jardine. They both [are] kinda like awkward fighters and stuff like that.”

Jackson kept coming back to one theme: wrestling and pressure. According to him, “I would have stayed right in his face the whole motherf—— time and just [be] trying to dish out damage. He don’t seem like a good wrestler, I knew I would’ve took him down, [landed] ground and pound, and took the fight everywhere where he he wouldn’t know where [to go].”

Do those tactics still work in today’s light heavyweight division? That’s the question. As such, Rampage Jackson’s world seems caught between two battlegrounds, one personal, the other hypothetical. On one hand, he’s a father facing the fallout of his son’s violent mistakes, trying to make sense of the chaos that’s shaken his family. On the other hand, he’s still the fighter at heart, dissecting matchups, analyzing styles, and imagining how his prime self would have fared against today’s stars like Jiri Prochazka.
