Yesterday, MMA India published a story where UFC interim middleweight champion said he wants to fight UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones in 2021 at the under-construction Raiders Stadium in Las Vegas.
This fight if made could be the biggest fight in UFC’s history especially if Adesanya is successful in beating Robert Whittaker at UFC 243, which takes place this weekend at the Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, Australia.
Both fighters have already been trading words on Social media.
“I am saying 2021. Probably early. The way I fight 6 fights in 18 months. I beat this guy in first-second round, get another 5 fights. We will see what happens.” Adesanya had earlier said.
This didn’t take Jon Jones much time to respond as he took to twitter and delivered a series of absolute savage responses.
.@stylebender Keep convincing yourself that one day you’ll be ready to face a boss like me. I’ll keep convincing myself that when that day comes, I will make you my absolute bitch.

“[Israel Adesanya] keep convincing yourself that one day you’ll be ready to face a boss like me,” Jones began. “I’ll keep convincing myself that when that day comes, I will make you my absolute bitch.
You said you saw me fight in person against Thiago and I didn’t look the same. I also got to see you fight KG, didn’t need to be in person. You were almost knocked out on more than one occasion

“You said you saw me fight in person against Thiago and I didn’t look the same,” Jones continued. “I also got to see you fight KG, didn’t need to be in person. You were almost knocked out on more than one occasion.”
Thiago couldn’t even touch my face and he grew up kickboxing. You only got to see my striking that night and now you’re convinced you’ll beat me? Let me see you in a wrestling match or a jujitsu tournament, you probably wouldn’t even place.

I can see you’re starting to sip your own Kool-Aid, I know how it feels, I’ve been there before. Only I was around 23. Just don’t become delusional kid, fuck with a beast like me and I will expose you.
