Israel Adesanya falls for fake report of Hooters shutdown over milennial preferences
Israel Adesanya is the latest victim to fall for the fake report claiming that Hooters would be shutting down, which has been circulating online since yesterday.
The fake report stated that millenials do not find women's breasts as attractive as the previous generation, leading to a subsequent drop in business for the restaurant chain. The report further stated that Hooters would be 'rebranded' following the dip in popularity.
Adesanya shared his opinion on how the company could modify its brand to better suit millennials. 'The Last Stylebender' appeared to be unaware of the hoax, and stated the following:
"Idea, hire females with fat a**es then rename it 'Sh***ers'."

The news was debunked by the official Twitter account of Hooters, who said the following:
"this is the fakest news that ever newsed"

Jared Cannonier believes that Israel Adesanya's loss to Alex Pereira is a good thing for the division
Israel Adesanya's reign over the middleweight division came to an end at UFC 281. He was stopped by Alex Pereira in the fifth round of the main event.
'The Last Stylebender' was previously undefeated at 185 pounds and appeared to be on track to maintaining that record. But a vicious left hook landed by 'Poatan' wobbled the former champion, who couldn't regain composure as Pereira continued his attack.
The newly crowned champion has a background in kickboxing, but has only had 8 professional MMA fights in total. 'Poatan' is without a doubt a world class striker with other-worldly power, but his lack of MMA experience has the rest of the middleweight division excited.
Adesanya defeated many of the top-ranked UFC middleweights during his championship reign, several of them twice, including Robert Whittaker.
Fellow middleweight contender Jared Cannonier, a man previously defeated by 'The Last Stylebender, recently spoke to Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour. Cannonier discussed the UFC 281 main event and how Israel Adesanya's defeat has benefited the entire division.
'Tha Killa Gorilla' said this:
"The way I think of it is, it brings more interest to the division, as opposed to bringing more interest to Israel himself. So it is good for the rest of us. We all get more of a chance of fighting for the title, as opposed to trying to make our way back up to a rematch, which I feel is harder to do in this sport. But no, I wasn’t happy that Israel lost."
