For Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson, his priorities have only been about one thing lately: Protecting his son, Raja Jackson, who’s currently dealing with the community’s anger after failing to control his own. So, as Syko Stu, the military veteran-turned-wrestler who was ruthlessly punched over 22 times till he was unconscious and bloody, continues nursing himself back to good health in the hospital, the Jackson family has also been trying to nurse something else back—their reputation. Unfortunately, the latest chapter in that quest may have gone a little sour, thanks to a fan’s inquisitiveness.

On August 28, the Instagram page Happy Punch shared a snippet of what was the MMA legend’s verbal altercation with a fan. In the video, a fan asked, “What’s up with the Raja situation?” Almost immediately, a clearly ticked off Rampage cautioned, “C’mon bro,” to which the fan pressed again, saying, “Respectfully.” To this, the 47-year-old hit back, “Respectfully. Shut the f— up!” “You’re right, you’re right. 100%,” the fan then said, and raised his hand for a handshake when he was declined. “I’m a dad,” Jackson said, before stating again, “Respectfully. Shut the f— up.”

That’s when the fan immediately apologized to him, but the veteran was far from done. The fan had clearly hit the wrong nerve. “I’m dealing with that s–t. You came at me wrong,” he said, before informing the crowd present, “I’m getting a lot of racist threats and s—, n—a…Coming up to me, come on, over something my son did that I ain’t got nothing to do with…I’m telling you. Drop this s—. Drop it.” Finally, after separating from the fans and walking away, he branded them “Goofy a— motherf—ers.”

Notably, this comes barely two days after Rampage had willingly discussed his son’s controversy during a Kick livestream. Informing his viewers how Raja’s mom’s death deeply affected him, the father mentioned, “This don’t got nothing to do with what’s going on, but all I’m going to say is that my son hasn’t been the same since his mom got m*****d. He hasn’t. And I know that. And I’ve been trying to be there for him and make him laugh and cheer him up and everything but I’m not a psychiatrist. I don’t know what the f– to do..”

“I know my kids, he hasn’t been the same with me. Like, he’s been distant from me. He wants to be more of a man and more of this. I don’t know how to deal with this s–,” he concluded. Unfortunately, that’s not the end to the controversy.

As things stand, it’s not just fans that Rampage Jackson has been upset with.

Rampage calls out MMA YouTuber for racism

Rampage Jackson has hit back at criticism surrounding his son’s attack, specifically calling out MMA personality MMA Guru for what he labeled as racist remarks. “People like MMA Guru. That guy is supposed to be some kind of journalist, and his racism came out,” Rampage said during a livestream. “His racism showed. It’s 2025. People do sh—. Some people f— up. It shouldn’t turn into race.”

MMA Guru also promptly responded to the allegations made against him on social media. “I call an attempted murderer a dumb animal. Rampage calls me a racist for it. ‘It’s 2025,’ yes, it’s 2025 — focus on the attempted murderer of [your] son, you failure of a dad, not what names I call him. Your own victim mindset is probably what made your son bulliable by teenagers.”

 Having said that, Raja Jackson is yet to get arrested as the LAPD continues probing the matter. Keep your eye on EssentiallySports for more updates!
