Last Sunday, Israel Adesanya knocked out Robert Whittaker to become the new undisputed UFC middleweight champion of the world at the UFC 243 main event.
Although his next opponent is going to be Paulo Costa, the newly crowned middleweight champion already has his eyes set on UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones.
Both fighters have been trading words back and forth at each other for months now. Adesanya added more fuel to the fire on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show when he went off on Jon Jones.
“My confidence? Get my f**king nuts out of your mouth,” Adesanya said after light heavyweight champion questioned his confidence. “This guy is trying to force my hand. I’m not stupid. It’s not about me not being confident. I will f**k this motherf**ker up when I fight him.
“I just have to do what I have to do,” he continued. “I have to defend my belt. I just defended my belt and I am the new unified king. I have three or four more killers I have to f**k up at middleweight first, and then I will move up in weight. And then I will jump up and f**k this guy up. I plan everything from the jump. I have shown everyone that this is what I am going to do and how I am going to do it. I already said Raiders Stadium, Las Vegas in 2021.” (H/T – BJPenn.com)
Jon Jones later replied fire with fire and called Adesany a Nerd.
All I hear is “I’m a bitch, I dance better than Jones.” Oh and some weird shit about big American balls in your mouth. https://t.co/aLNjHVBsTF

“I’m not out here searching for dragon ball Z fans, I’m in pursuit of these history books. Being mentioned with history’s greatest combatants ever. F**king nerd.” Jones concluded with the tweet.
Do you guys think they will fight in 2021?
