Fans believe that Adesanya should retire after his third straight loss.
“I would like to see Adesanya retire. He can still win fights but his speed fell off and his chin is cracked. This will keep happening if Adesanya keeps fighting top competition.” said one fan.
“Feels like it’s time for Adesanya to retire, he has one of the best storylines in UFC history he doesn’t need to prove anything else” commented another.
