Nigerian-born UFC fighter Israel Adesanya, also known as the Last Stylebender, has alleged that the majority of women in Lagos are prostitutes, often known as “runs girls.”
Speaking in a video released on Monday via his official X Instagram, Adesanya stated that Lagos females enjoy showing off, but the proceeds of prostitutes fund their lifestyle.
However, the former UFC welterweight champion urged them to be pleasant and sociable rather than proud.
Adesanya, who spoke in Yoruba, said, “Lagos women like to feel themselves and are proud. Most of you are run girls. I know the meaning of running girls now. Kobo kobo ashewo.
“You want to show off. Keep posing and showing off. Nonsense. Just be nice, be friendly, and say hi.”
The former UFC welterweight champion reportedly arrived in Lagos last Wednesday to a warm reception after his fourth-round submission loss to South Africa’s Dricus Du Plessis in their middleweight title showdown at UFC 305 in Perth on Saturday night.
