Puka Nakua’s brother, Samson Nakua, has more than a UFL investigation to worry after slapping fans in Saturday’s match.
A spokesperson says the division knows the video of the St. Louis Battlehawks game on Saturday… showing Samson, playing for the Michigan Panthers, slaps fans at the American center dome.

@theufl You cannot prevent this from being punished. The Bush League has moved towards the best fans in the league, and that’s the only reason they’re still alive. pic.twitter.com/2yyg0eg1us

“We’re doing a thorough investigation into this incident and working to get the video from the dome of the American center that may have captured what led to the encounter,” the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department said.
The development also investigates the issue itself after the UFL announced it on Sunday.
Details surrounding the encounter remain unknown, but Samson eventually slapped him and eventually slapped him after the Panthers were defeated by the Battle Hawks.
Before joining the Panthers and the UFL, Samson spent time with the Saints and Colts. Samson played college ball at the University of Utah from 2016 to 2020 before playing a year with Puka at BYU in 2021.
He finished Saturday’s game with three catches for 46 yards.
The Panthers will return to action against the DC defender on Sunday, but there is no word on whether Samson will be allowed to take the field.
