Israel Adesanya is one of the most coveted names of the UFC. Also, the current Middleweight champion of the UFC is reputed for his ‘never-give-up’ attitude inside the Octagon. The Nigerian-New Zealander is currently warming up for his championship defense bout against Alex ‘Poatan’ Pereira. Amidst all this, Pereira received beneficial advice from the legendary Jon ‘Bones’ Jones. Adesanya in turn also put out his views about ‘Bones’ fight-related advice to ‘Poatan’.

Pereira had put out a few videos of his harsh sparring sessions in order to prepare for this bout. ‘Bones’ went on to advise Pereira to refrain from doing so.

Jon Jones didn’t want Alex Pereira to lure out his secrets

Jon ‘Bones’ Jones is arguably one of the greatest fighters to ever grace the UFC Octagon. But, the fact unknown to many is that ‘Bones’ learned some of his major skills by watching sparring videos itself. Hence, it is understandable that Jones didn’t want Pereira’s probable roadmap for the bout to be traced out by Adesanya.

‘The Last Stylebender’ was asked about this in a couple of interviews. In the first interview uploaded on the YouTube channel ‘Jeff Sainlar Visuals’, the questioner wanted to know Adesanya’s views about Jones advising Pereira.
