ST. LOUIS – A Michigan Panthers player has been suspended for jumping up to the stands and smacking a fan in the face.
Samson Nacua, the brother of Los Angeles Rams star Puka Nacua, was caught on a viral video arguing with a fan Saturday after a 32-27 loss to St. Louis at the Battledome.
The video shows Nacua ultimately jumping up to smack the fan, who was leaning over the railing in the front row of the stands.
The UFL announced Nacua has been suspended without pay for the Panthers’ next game against the D.C. Defenders.
Nacua will participate in community service events arranged by the league, a release said.
Nacua has seven catches for 116 yards and a touchdown this season.
Here’s video of the exchange. WARNING: There might be explicit language.
Things got a little heated in the Battledome last night..

It’s unclear what was said. Anybody who’s been to the Dome knows fans love to chirp players. Appears Nacua wasn’t happy about it.. pic.twitter.com/i8u4L0tqm0
