One individual opined that regardless of the loss, Adesanya had carved his legacy in the sport.
"[In my opinion], his legacy is set. I agree with a lot others saying he fights for himself now. Still, he pieced up ole boy in the 1st, just [sucks] he got caught."
Another claimed Adesanya's association with Daniele to be the reason behind his loss.
"The Nina curse is real, almost every fighter that makes content with her loses."
According to one fan, Adesanya should continue fighting after the Imavov loss, instead of taking a break.
"Should carry on, having a layoff that long doesn't help. Adesanya is a legend."
