Adesanya says Jones feud is ‘deeper than fighting now’; Jon responds with another tweet-and-delete

Jon Jones and Israel Adesanya have been trading barbs for quite sometime now, but the former light heavyweight champion has declared the rivalry “dead” after the recent loss to Jan Blachowicz. If you ask the UFC middleweight champion though, he still believes that he will eventually face Jones.

“Hell no. This is just a valley in my story,” Adesanya told ESPN. “In any movie, in any anime series, you always have the valleys and you rise up from that. This is just mine and it’s like, all right, cool, bet. I’m taking this very well, and I know exactly what I have to do to get back to my true self, so yeah, I’m doing just that.
