The United Football League announced Tuesday that Michigan Panthers wide receiver Samson Nacua, the brother of Los Angeles Rams star Puka Nacua, has been suspended without pay for one game after getting into an altercation with a fan.
Video went viral over the weekend showing Nacua slapping a St. Louis Battlehawks fan in the face following the Panthers' game on the road at The Dome at America's Center.
Nacua will not be able to play against the DC Defenders on May 4.
