He has now been discharged from the hospital and is detailing the extent of the injuries sustained during the clash.<\/p>\n<p>In a video from last month in San Valle, California, Rai Jackson  \u2013  the son of Rampage Jackson and a professional MMA fighter  \u2013  bursts into a confrontation in the ring and knocks Syko Stu (Stuart Smith) to the floor during another altercation.<\/p>\n<p>A watermarked recording allegedly streamed on the Kick platform, showing Jackson straddling Stu and delivering several punches to his face and temple, even as he lay on the ground. Other athletes restrained the attacker from further actions.<\/p>\n<p>Kick confirmed that Rai Jackson\u2019s account was temporarily blocked on the platform after the incident.<\/p>\n<p>The Injured Athlete\u2019s Condition and Public Reaction<\/p>\n<p>In a joint Facebook post by Stu and his wife Contessa Patterson, it was reported that the athlete had been discharged from the hospital and is now at home.<\/p>\n<p>The post detailed the injuries he sustained: a serious concussion, loss of consciousness on arrival at the emergency department, injuries to the upper and lower jaw, a laceration to the upper lip, and a fracture of the zygomatic bone, which led to the loss of several teeth.<\/p>\n<p>\u00abHe has a long road to recovery ahead, but he remains in good spirits despite everything he has been through,\u00bb the statement read.<\/p>\n<p>\u00abWe are deeply grateful for the love and support that people have shown \u2013 whether through financial donations, meals, flowers, or gifts.
