Adesanya delved into a detailed analysis of the Pereira vs. Ankalaev fight on his YouTube channel ahead of UFC 313. After discussing several crucial factors related to the fight, he chose Pereira to win the coveted encounter. But his prediction didn't materialize as Ankalaev claimed Pereira's light heavyweight gold with a unanimous decision victory.

Kenny Okoye, a Nigerian YouTuber who claims to be Adesanya's biggest fan, labeled Pereira as a "sore loser" due to his conduct after losing against Ankalaev. Okoye's claim is based on the fact that Adesanya gave him a shout-out in one of his interviews with Shakiel Mahjouri.

"I thought they [Pereira’s fans] would take some accountability [after the loss]. But it’s more of just saying, 'robbery', or saying 'yeah, Ankalaev’s boring.' And it all stems from Alex Pereira, who didn’t take the humble route after his fight... People like Adesanya, after he loses… he takes the humble route. He shows love to his opponents, he goes over to them first. In this fight, Pereira didn’t go over to Ankalaev at all… Sore losers are interesting."
