Former UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya ran into a little trouble last month at New York City’s John F. Kennedy Airport. “The Last Stylebender” was flagged for trying to pass through security with a set of brass knuckles in his possession.
Adesanya’s manager later revealed that the weapon was given by a fan and that the ex-champ put it in his luggage. Possession of weapons like brass knuckles is illegal in the state of New York and is considered a class A misdemeanor. Such an offense is punishable by at least a year in jail.
