Adesanya and Jones' rivalry

As noted by Bloody Elbow, Adesanya claimed the rivalry between the two started around 2020. He claimed that Jones, who was fighting in the Lightweight division at that stage, mentioned wanting to fight him.

The Last Stylebender, a fan of the American, said he could not understand why Bones wanted to take him on, and a back-and-forth started between the two.

Jones praises Adesanya

More recently, Jones put aside his beef with Adesanya to praise the Middleweight champ, MMA Fighting noted.

“In the UFC, my favourite fighter right now, I hate to admit it, but I would say Israel Adesanya,” Jones said. “He and I are not friends, but he’s probably the most entertaining guy in the organisation right now.”

With the beef seemingly settled now, both men can look forward to focusing on defending their respective titles.

Jones is tipped to face Stipe Miocic for the Heavyweight strap, while Adesanya will take on the winner of the fight between Dricus du Plessis and Robert Whittaker.
