Mixed martial artist and UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya asked on Friday why the powerful people associated with convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell have not gotten “any time for actually f**king those kids?”
“Ghislaine Maxwell just got put away for 20 years,” Adesanya noted during a weigh-in event for Saturday’s UFC 276. “So she was supplying kids for all these f***ing pedos, right? Where’s the list?”
“So the list of politicians, and actresses and actors that was talked about, does that just get swept under the rug?” Adesanya said. “Do they not get any time for actually f**king those kids?”
Adesanya is set to defend his middleweight title on Saturday at UFC 278 against challenger Jared Cannonier.

Adesanya’s question echoed earlier statements by African American tech billionaire Elon Musk in May amid a feud with left-wing media company NBC.
“Same org that covered up Hunter Biden laptop story, had Harvey Weinstein story early & killed it & built Matt Lauer his rape office,” Musk tweeted. “Lovely people.”
In response to his comments concerning NBC, one Twitter user wrote to Musk that “It says it all that we heard more about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock than we heard about Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial. It is also ‘interesting’ that the account tracking the Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial got banned when it gained traction. Lovely people indeed…”
Musk then raised a question about Epstein and Maxwell’s “client” list, appearing to question why none of their affiliates have been named, nor charged, over the widespread sex trafficking.
“Where is their ‘client’ list? Shouldn’t at least one of them go down!?” Musk tweeted.
Another Twitter user attempted to tie Maxwell and Musk together by replying with a photo of the two at a Vanity Fair party with the caption “let’s start with you.” Musk responded, “That’s a Vanity Fair party and she photobombed me in the background, but you know that already, don’t know?”
