Raja Jackson has pleaded not guilty.

The son of former UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson appeared in court on Thursday after he was charged with felony battery and misdemeanor battery for assaulting a pro wrestler at an event in Los Angeles this past August. After being arrested and subsequently released on $50,000 bail in September, Jackson was back in court after the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office moved forward with the criminal complaint against him.

Based on the charges, Jackson faces up to seven years in prison if convicted, including a sentencing enhancement of three years for allegedly causing “great bodily injury” to Stuart Smith, otherwise known as Syko Stu.
