Former UFC middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya, has reportedly been arrested for taking brass knuckles through security and John F. Kennedy Airport in New York.
The 33-year-old was arrested by Port Authority police in the American Airlines terminal on Wednesday. Brass knuckles are a Class A misdemeanor in New York, and it is also illegal to bring them aboard an airplane. It’s not clear where the 33-year-old allegedly stored the weapon. Adesanya lost his title by TKO to Alex Pereira last Saturday.
Spokespeople from the UFC are yet to react to the incident.
