Moliki Matavao is a tight end for the New Orleans Saints. He recently gained attention due to his involvement in multiple altercations during a joint practice session with the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday, August 18, 2026, in Oxnard, California. The practice was marred by several fights, with Matavao seen scuffling with members of the Cowboys, including outside linebacker Sam Williams.
