Israel Adesanya currently sits on the UFC middleweight throne. He has a number of fighters who are eagerly waiting to lock horns against him. At the moment, it is believed that the winner between Dricus du Plessis and Robert Whittaker will fight against Adesanya next. Adding to the rumors, some reports said that there is a chance of ‘The Last Stylebender’ facing light heavyweight champion Jamahal Hill. Now, Adesanya’s co-manager, Ash Belcastro, has come up with yet another surprising prospect. He talked about a fight between middleweight champion Israel Adesanya and heavyweight champion Jon Jones.

If the bout comes to fruition, it means that there is a profit for everyone. The co-manager of the Nigerian fighter feels that if the bout takes place, there will be a lot of money involved, and Adesanya can make a fortune out of it. However, fans feel that the bout would destroy Adesanya.

Fans dislike the idea of Jon Jones versus Israel Adesanya

 Both Jon Jones and Israel Adesanya were involved in a verbal war for a while. The beef between the two is nothing new to the MMA community. Nonetheless, when Adesanya talked on the podcast, ‘Impaulsive,’ he mentioned that the beef between the two has come to an end. ‘Bones’ and ‘Stylebender’ have achieved great heights in their professional lives. Jones, who was the UFC light heavyweight champion, came back to the promotion after three long years and won the heavyweight championship. On the other hand, Adesanya, who lost his middleweight belt, gained it back from Alex Pereira at UFC 287.

The two fighters have now cemented their position as top fighters in the UFC with a huge fanbase. Now, talking on The MMA Hour, Israel Adesanya’s co-manager mentioned a bout against Jones. He said, “I think obviously we will always entertain that fight. I think that’s a good payday of Israel and something that I can both athletes can really sell well, and I think the UFC can make a lot of money off as well. You never know what’s around the corner. This game moves so fast.” When fans came across Belcastro’s words, they decided to warn Adesanya.
