The much anticipated ‘Stylebender’ documentary is finally out in cinemas. The documentary revolves around the life of former UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya and his rise up to champion status. It has seen words of appreciation and support from many fans, fighters, and MMA enthusiasts alike. Even Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg congratulated Adesanya for the release.

Adesanya recently posted the announcement of the release of his documentary on Instagram. He captioned it, “NZ, Let me take you to the movies!” Zuckerberg replied to the post appreciating Adesanya and commented, “Congrats.” However, the documentary is facing backlash due to Adesanya pleading guilty to DUI charges after being indicted by the court for drunk driving,

Adesanya has seen a downfall in his career after his loss to Sean Strickland at UFC 293. The loss against Strickland also caused him to lose the middleweight title again as Strickland was able to exploit Adesanya’s weaknesses. However, Adesanya did not seem too bothered by the loss and accepted it.
