In a recent tweet, Adams branded the criticism from UFC fans as "trashy," while also drawing an interesting comparison to the matter: "Telling a fighter that you lost money betting on them is kind of like telling a romantic partner you wasted money because you didn’t get what you wanted. You erred on a hope, and while both statements could be true, it’s still pretty trashy" Juan Adams mma@chosenjuan285Telling a fighter that you lost money betting on them is kind of like telling a romantic partner you wasted money because you didn’t get what you wanted.

Most recently, he took to social media to publicly announce his bet on the Liverpool duo of Molly McCann and Paddy Pimblett. View this post on Instagram Instagram Post Along with the growth of online betting has come a contingent of fans that have criticized fighters for losing performances, citing their own lost money as the reason for the insults. Adams feels that this behavior from fans is unwarranted, as fighters push themselves to the limit to grind out wins inside the octagon.

Could a return to the big show be in order? https://t.co/Ss3uSZIZKg He made his debut inside the octagon against Chris de la Roca in December 2018, starting off his career with a victory. However, he suffered his first loss in his very next fight against Arjan Bhullar in May 2019. This was followed by a disappointing TKO loss to Greg Hardy, which did not help his case. Adams miraculously got another chance at redemption at UFC 247 facing Justin Tafa, but a third consecutive loss spelt the end of his career, terminating his contract. He is currently coming off a brutal loss to Matheus Scheffel in the heavyweight semifinals at the 2022 PFL Playoffs 2 in Cardiff, Wales.
