Over the past several months, 'The Last Stylebender' has received backlash for his technical style, which many fans deem to be boring. In response to the criticisms, Adesanya's City Kickboxing teammate took to Twitter to write: "I mean, you’re winning and all, but you’re playing it to safe. If you were really that good you would hit the wall a couple times or at least slow down to let someone else catch up. As a fan it would just make it more exciting to watch."
