In this episode of the Square Circle Podcast, we dive into the latest development in the Raja Jackson case. Raja, son of former UFC champion Rampage Jackson, recently pled not guilty to felony and misdemeanor battery charges, despite clear video evidence of the incident.
I explain why this decision might not be in his best interest:
Everything was live streamed, leaving little room for doubt.
A guilty plea could have led to a reduced sentence and possible therapy, which he clearly needs.
Streaming culture and “chat hoppers” may have contributed to the incident, but they do not absolve his responsibility.
We also touch on the wider context: the indie wrestling scene, fan interactions, and the challenges of navigating social media while live streaming. Finally, I weigh in on California’s legal system and what Raja might face moving forward.
📅 Raja Jackson is due back in court on November 24th, 2025, for a preliminary hearing.
I want to hear your thoughts: should Raja have pled guilty? Do you think he will serve the full seven years if convicted? Leave your thoughts in the comments, and let’s keep the discussion civil and thoughtful.
