Raja Jackson, son of former UFC champion Rampage Jackson, has received a 90-day jail sentence after reaching a plea agreement in his attempted murder case. The case stemmed from an assault on wrestler Psycho Stu. As part of the deal, Raja will pay $81,000 in compensation to the victim and will remain on probation for two years following his release. The relatively light sentence has sparked debate among fans, with some questioning whether the punishment fits the severity of the original charges. The plea bargain allowed Raja to avoid a potentially much longer prison term on the attempted murder charge.
Raja Jackson, the son of former UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, has been sentenced to 90 days in jail after accepting a plea deal in connection with an attempted murder charge, according to reports dated May 8, 2026.
The case originated from an assault on professional wrestler Psycho Stu. Under the terms of the agreement, Raja Jackson will also pay $81,000 in restitution to the victim and serve two years of probation following his release from custody.
Why it matters
- The plea deal allowed Raja Jackson to avoid a significantly longer prison sentence that a conviction on the original attempted murder charge could have carried.
- He will pay $81,000 in compensation directly to the victim as part of the court-ordered terms.
- The relatively lenient outcome has drawn criticism from fans and observers who question whether the sentence reflects the seriousness of the initial charge.
- The case draws attention to Rampage Jackson, one of the most recognizable figures in UFC history and a former light heavyweight world champion.
The settlement brings a formal resolution to a case that attracted widespread attention largely due to the profile of Raja's father. The plea arrangement closes the criminal proceedings without a full trial, though the disparity between the original charge and the final sentence continues to generate discussion around the fairness of the outcome.
