Israel Adesanya was arrested Wednesday at JFK Airport in New York while going through security screenings.
TMZ Sports was the first to report the news of Adesanya’s arrest.
According to TMZ, Adesanya was taken into custody near JFK’s American Airlines terminal on Wednesday afternoon, just before 2:00 p.m. local time. He allegedly possessed brass knuckles, which are illegal in New York state and is a misdemeanor offense.
As of the publication of this story, Adesanya remains in police custody and may be barred from leaving New York until officials complete their investigation. If convicted, he may spend up to one year in jail plus potential fines.
It’s uncertain if Adesanya’s brass knuckles were a part of his carry-on bag, on his person, or in a checked bag. The purpose of the possession is also uncertain at this time.

Adesanya lost the UFC middleweight title to Alex Pereira at UFC 281 on Saturday at New York’s Madison Square Garden. Pereira defeated him via a fifth-round TKO in a stunning come-from-behind victory.
Adesanya nearly didn’t make it to the fight after suffering an injury in camp. He ended up suffering a PCL injury and is suspended indefinitely to rest and recover.
Adesanya will likely face Pereira in an immediate rematch but those plans may be altered after this recent legal issue. He doesn’t have any known criminal history during his time competing and also living in New Zealand.
We’ll continue to provide updates on this story as it unfolds.
