UFC contender Katlyn Chookagian pleads with male fans to stop sending her masturbation videos

It's a very fair request

UFC flyweight Katlyn Chookagian has politely asked male MMA fans to stop sending her videos of themselves masturbating.

Chookagian, who is the second-ranked UFC flyweight in the world, has vented her frustration about certain unsolicited messages she has been receiving recently.

The 30-year-old took to Twitter to make the very fair request, which is certainly not exclusive to her as several female fighters have complained about such behaviour in the past.

In 2016, former strawweight title challenger Claudia Gadelha revealed that she receives pictures of men’s penises, as well as disgusting messages, on social media.

“Personally, I never had a guy approaching me and doing something. But on social media it happens all the time,” Gadelha told Brazilian outlet Combate three years ago.

“We get messages not only from fans, but also from pervs all the time. It’s annoying, I get messages like this ‘I fantasise about you hitting me.’ It’s very weird. Some men send pictures of their junk. Some guys really bother me. I try to ignore them.”

Bellator flyweight Anastasia Yankova, meanwhile, had a simple message for perverts who were sending her naked photographs of themselves back in 2016.

We doubt anyone would have the brazenness to do anything similar in person, as one man recently found out that it’s not wise to expose oneself in front of a trained martial artist.
