00:00Raja Jackson facing potential jail time after heinous assault on pro wrestler.

00:05Raja Jackson, the son of former UFC star and MMA legend Quentin Rampage Jackson,

00:10could face up to five years in jail if he's deemed guilty by a Los Angeles court.

00:16Jackson, 25, was arrested last month following a horrifying incident

00:19where he assaulted professional wrestler Stuart Smith, ringnamed Psycho Stu.

00:24Jackson hit an unconscious Smith with 22 punches to the head

00:28before being pulled off by other wrestlers in the match.

00:31The incident left Smith in critical condition in the hospital.

00:35His family said he suffered significant head trauma and lost several teeth in the incident,

00:39which caused him to choke on his own blood.

00:41Even Jackson's famous father has since said that he believes his son should serve jail time for the assault.

00:47I think because he's my son, and as his father, as a public figure, and they want to come after me,

00:52like, people automatically assume that I'm going to defend my son

00:55and I'm going to, like, try to pay people off and get him out of trouble, he said.

00:59I'm just as mad at Raja as they are.

01:01I think Raja should go to jail so he'll learn not to do this S no more, he said.

01:06Like, you got to control your emotions.

01:08And I think... I'm not saying, like, people say he should go to jail for, you know, ten years.

01:13No. He should go to jail and not prison.

01:16He should. He should go to jail.

01:18Do a little time and then get some therapy and learn from this.

01:21According to a report from the LA Times, Jackson will be charged with one count of felony battery

01:26that caused serious bodily injury and one count of misdemeanor battery.

01:31The report also claims that prosecutors will seek heavier sentencing

01:34because Smith suffered great bodily injury.

01:37If convicted on all charges, Jackson could face as many as five years in prison

01:41according to California sentencing guidelines.

01:44Jackson is currently free on $50,000 bond following his arrest in September.
