Well, it looks like Hooters is in hot water again. The chain of sports bars and restaurants, known for its controversial display of servers, is shutting down and re-branding after a new study revealed that millennials just aren’t that into it. But the real controversy came when former UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya weighed in on the situation with a tweet that got everyone talking. What’s more? It prompted a reply, even from Kendra Lust.

But let’s back up for a minute. Why is Hooters rebranding in the first place? Well, it seems that the chain’s targeted demographic just isn’t interested like they used to be. A study found that millennials are more interested in health and wellness than they are in pretty servers, so Hooters is looking to appeal to a younger, more socially conscious crowd.

But what does this mean for Hooters’ iconic uniform? Will the famous orange shorts and tight tank tops be a thing of the past? It’s unclear at this point, but one thing is for sure: Hooters will never be the same.

Israel Adesanya has an interesting idea for Hooter’s re-branding

The former UFC middleweight champion had something to say about Hooters’ recent rebranding. Israel Adesanya took to social media to share his thoughts, and let’s just say they’re causing quite a stir.

 

He said, “Idea, hire females with fat a**es then rename it ‘Shi**ers’.

The Last Stylebender’s tweet on the current topic divided people on whether Adesanya‘s tweet was hilarious or offensive, but one thing was clear: the former champion knows how to stir up a bit of controversy.

However, Adesanya has bigger things to worry about – he’s looking to bounce back from his recent title loss to Alex Pereira. This is the third time he’s lost to Pereira, so he’s got his work cut out for him.

Furthermore, if he wants to break Anderson Silva‘s records, he’ll have to get past another Brazilian first. Can he do it? Only time will tell.
