UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya spoke to The MacLife and went after Jon Jones in what has become a recurring trend. ‘The Last Stylebender’ is one of the biggest stars in the sport today, and fans want to hear what he has to say. Chiefly, the announcement that he will look to swipe Jan Blachowicz’s light heavyweight title has added to his intrigue.

Israel will look to gain the coveted champ-champ status and has projected lofty goals for the upcoming year. Furthermore, he has also spoken about moving up to heavyweight and taking on ‘Bones’ Jones in an ultimate showdown. The two have been going back and forth for a while now, and fans are hoping for some pay-off.

Israel Adesanya spits venom at Jon Jones

The Nigerian born champion shared his thought on moving up in weight and he expressed his belief that Jones is livid with the move. Should Adesanya capture the belt, it will be the very same one that Jones relinquished before moving to heavyweight. Furthermore, Israel Adesanya also questioned Jon’s intention to actually fight at heavyweight.

“He is probably loathing and waiting until, I don’t know, I don’t check. He is loathing. It is rubbing him the wrong way, I know it is rubbing him the wrong way. Say something stupid, he knows I got clips, I’m ready for him.”

“He still hasn’t got a fight matched up, has he?” Adesanya asked. “He’s what, taking time to get accustomed to heavyweight. He’s been saying for the last 10 years he can beat any heavyweight, blah, blah, blah.”

‘The Last Stylebender’ threatens Jon Jones

Adesanya seems hell-bent on following Jon Jones, no matter which division he ends up in. Regardless, it seems as though Israel’s path toward the consensus MMA GOAT will go through a victory over Jones.

“I’d say the first then the second. If I was waiting (to defend the light heavyweight title) I’ll just go back to 185 and f**k people up there and then if he (Jones) wins the heavyweight belt, I’ll just jump up and take that off him. It would be cool,” Adesanya concluded. “It’s like, oh you took my old toy now I want it back, then comes back down and I’ll slap him across the face.”

There is no doubt that a fight between Israel Adesanya and Jon Jones would be one of epic proportions. What’s more, they are seemingly in the athletic primes of their lives and fans are champing at the bit to see them scrap.
