In a recent interview with MMA Junkie, Adesanya revealed that he is looking forward to taking on the most infamous fighters in the UFC

Both Jones and Adesanya have been going back and forth taking shots at each other for months now. And the plan is to organize a mega-showdown in 2021, in Las Vegas.
