Stuart “Syko Stu” Smith has been released from the hospital one week after being brutally assaulted by Raja Jackson, son of Quinton “Rampage” Jackson. The former Army veteran and wrestler is recovering at home after suffering serious head and facial injuries. UFC fans and wrestlers continue to rally support.
