Israel Adesanya definitely still has a lot to prove in the UFC! While it's true that 35 can be considered on the older side for a fighter, many athletes in mixed martial arts have shown that age isn't always a determining factor in their performance.

For example, fighters like Glover Teixeira won the light heavyweight title at 42, and Randy Couture was still competing at a high level well into his late 40s. Adesanya has a wealth of experience, striking skills, and mental fortitude that can still keep him in the title picture if he chooses to continue.

That said, the pressure of being at the top is immense, and coming off a defeat can take a toll mentally and physically. If he feels he still has the drive and passion to compete, he could regroup, assess his training and strategies, and come back stronger. Retirement is always a personal decision, but considering his talent and past successes, many fans believe his journey in the octagon isn’t over just yet!

What do you think? Would you like to see him stay and prove himself again, or do you think it’s time to hang up the gloves?

I want to see him stay and prove that he is very good at what he does. If he doesn't stick around and have a couple of wins next year, a lot of his fans may begin to lose faith in him.
