Following his clinical display against Paulo Costa, Adesanya addressed questions about ‘Bones’ in the post-fight interview. He said “I just wanted to f**k up Jon Jones and I still will. But I just have to talk to Eugene (Bareman) first cause even he spoke about Stipe Miocic and other things.
The two men have been on each other’s radar ever since Adesanya has been making a name for himself at middleweight. Both fighters have taken to social media multiple times to criticize and troll each other.
A fight between ‘Bones’ and ‘The Last Stylebender’ would be a delight for fans. However, with Jones’ eye set on another target and the move up in weight, a fight between the two becomes more of a challenge. Nevertheless, the UFC is known for delighting the fans and making fights where the best fight the best.
The Jon Jones vs Israel Adesanya fight ticks both those boxes. Therefore it should materialize in the not too distant future. Do you think we get to see a fight between the two men? If yes, what weight class would they fight at?
