Witnesses described the attack as 'horrific'.
Situation in the Ring
After four days in a coma, Stu began to recover for the first time despite severe head injuries.
Jackson, son of UFC legend Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson, initially slammed Stu to the mat and then struck him at least 20 times with his head.
This shocking attack ended with intervention from security personnel and other wrestlers.
Wrestler Douglas Malo, who helped stop the fight, stated on the Scaling Up podcast that he 'noticeably sensed something was wrong and decided to check the situation.'
“I saw him being thrown, saw the first and second blows,” he says.
“I tried to calm him down, but he wasn’t paying attention – it was terrible.”
Support and Recovery
Stu's brother Andriy shared news about his condition after the incident.
“Stuart is resting after severe head injuries. He is now conscious and able to speak, but the recovery will be difficult,” he noted.

Stuart expresses his gratitude to all his supporters for their help during this challenging time.
“Wrestling has become an important part of his life, and he lives to perform.”
“But he is also an ordinary person with a life and family outside the ring.”
This incident highlights the seriousness of wrestling and athlete safety. The situation has raised many questions about the ethics and rules in sports, as well as the need for changes to ensure the safety of competitors. We hope Stuart recovers quickly and returns to his favorite pastime.
