Adesanya goes clubbing in Lagos

Adesanya’s visit to the club comes on the heels of a busy week that saw the fighter return to his hometown of Esa-Oke in Osun State, where he was celebrated by the community and the traditional ruler, the Owa-Omiran of Esa-Oke, Oba Adeyemi Adediran.

The Nigerian-born athlete, who arrived in Lagos on Wednesday, received a hero’s welcome despite his recent UFC 305 loss to South African fighter, Dricus Du Plessis.

Adesanya’s return to Nigeria has been marked by multiple trips, including his visit to Oyo, Ibadan, and Esa-Oke, where he was honoured by traditional leaders and residents.

During his time in Osun State, Adesanya was praised for his accomplishments and his contributions to putting Nigeria on the global map.

The Owa-Omiran, who received the fighter at his palace on Thursday, announced that Adesanya would be honoured during the annual Esa-Oke Day celebration later this year.
