Following Saturday night’s game in St. Louis, Michigan Panthers wide receiver Samson Nacua, brother of Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua, was involved in an incident in which he slapped a fan in the face.
Los Angeles Rams: UFL WR Samson Nacua Involved In Post-Game Altercation
Video footage of the event shows a fan in the front row leaning onto the field and apparently engaging in a verbal exchange with Nacua. Nacua then reached up, slapped the fan, and walked away. Subsequently, Panthers cornerback Adonis Alexander pointed at the fan and laughed before sideline personnel intervened. The fan did not appear to sustain any injuries.
The UFL has acknowledged the incident and announced an investigation. “The UFL is aware of the incident that took place last evening at the conclusion of the Michigan Panthers vs. St. Louis Battlehawks game in St. Louis. League officials are currently investigating the matter,” the league stated.
Nacua is currently in his second season with the Panthers. He previously played for the USFL’s Pittsburgh Maulers in 2023 and has also spent time on the rosters of the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints, though he has not appeared in a regular-season NFL game.
