UFC President Dana White has confirmed that a match-up that makes sense would be Israel Adesanya vs Jon Jones. The aforementioned fighters are amongst the biggest stars in the sport at the moment, and a fight between them would be massive. Also, they have been engaged in a social media war that has taken several ugly twists and turns.

Twitter beefs are not uncommon in MMA, however, some might argue Adesanya and Jones have ramped up the intensity. Additionally, it appears there are no lines that won’t be crossed as families have been brought up. Fight fans are invested in a bout between the two and would like to see some development in their rivalry.

Dana White targets a massive bout

The long-time boss of the UFC spoke out to UFC Arabia and touched on the bitter feud that has been brewing. He expressed an interest in bringing the fight into the limelight. The UFC President said, “That’s the fight to make, 100 percent. I think that a fight between those two is massive.”

Dana White was asked to elaborate on a possible timeline wherein the super-fight could play out. Although White didn’t have a definitive date in mind, he was keen to actualize the fight for the fans. Furthermore, he also touched upon Israel Adesanya’s rising stock in the company.

“It doesn’t depend on what I want; it depends on what they want to do,” White said. “Adesanya is a champ. He’s really coming into his own, and you can tell he knows this is his house, and he comes and acts like it. I think he wants the winner of Whittaker and Cannonier, and then we’ll see what happens after that.”
