Sportsmanship inside the ring is often made richer and more vibrant by the display of merit outside it. This holds true in the case of two UFC heavyweights who buried the hatchet after many years. Jon Jones and Israel Adesanya took to Instagram to let fans know that they’ve settled their differences. The heartfelt exchange even garnered an epic reaction from former WWE World Champion Dwayne Johnson.

So, it was not surprising for fans to see him show appreciation for the fighters’ decision to patch up. Johnson’s reaction follows his recent involvement in the life of the UFC fighter, Themba Gorimbo, putting him on the radar of MMA fans once again.

Jon Jones and Israel Adesanya have patched up

It created quite the buzz in the MMA world when two fighters who made headlines with their beef for over two years made news with a display of friendship. The pair made up at a Las Vegas hotel after bumping into each other. A video of the two fighters sparring in a friendly exchange was shared by Adesanya on his Instagram page, surprising fans.

The long-standing rift between the two UFC superstars has its roots back in 2020 when the two started trading barbs over social media. With the increasing comparison between them, the trash talk had taken high gear. Fans had been waiting for them to take their grudge to the cage. However, their latest interaction saw the fighters come to a resolution outside it.
