Israel Adesanya and Jon Jones
Israel Adesanya and Jon Jones seem set for a collision course after Izzy’s recent demolition of Paulo Costa
UFC Middleweight champion Israel Adesanya has sent out a warning to Jon Jones as he continues his rivalry with the American.
Adesanya came out on top in a bitter battle with Paulo Costa at UFC 253. However, the battle between the pair was only on social media as the action in the Octagon didn’t match the Twitter clash.
Costa was demolished by Adesanya in two rounds with the Brazilian unable to even get a few clean strikes.
Adesanya mocked Costa after defeating him with a sexual movement right after the referee pulled him off. The Brazilian wasn’t pleased with this and has vowed to come back stronger than ever to challenge Izzy.
However, Izzy has taken his meme game to another level and made a lot of fun of Costa. The champion now has Jones in his sights and sent out a warning:
Jones and Adesanya had their own battle a few months before Bones stepped up to the Heavyweight division.
The former Light Heavyweight champion vacated his title to move up and is keen on picking up Stipe Miocic’s gold.
However, there was a real chance of Adesanya facing Jones at one point but it never came to be. Jones put himself in the middle of the storm by questioning Adesanya and the use of drugs.
Many have suggested that something is up with the right chest of Adesanya as it was drooping more than his left.
Jones brought this up and how Izzy had targeted Bones a while back:
Jones also claimed that Adesanya was using estrogen and hit out at the champion:
However, Bones added that he was thinking of other things at the moment, but wasn’t going to stop if Adesanya didn’t:
Jones moving up to Heavyweight means there is little or no chance of him facing Adesanya in the UFC.
However, the pair keep taking shots at one another and the bad blood between them keeps on increasing.
