Dana White: If Israel beats Whittaker, Jon Jones vs. Adesanya could be ‘a really big fight’

Dana White is already stoking the flames for a possible superfight between Jon Jones and Israel Adesanya, but who can blame him?

Jones and Adesanya have gone back-and-forth in interviews and on social media for the past year, with the trash talk ramping up in the final days leading up to ‘The Last Stylebender’s’ highly anticipated middleweight title unification bout with Robert Whittaker at UFC 243.

Speaking to Sky Sports New Zealand ahead of UFC 243, White said Jones vs. Adesanya could be a ‘really big fight’ if Adesanya beats Whittaker the unify the titles and extend his professional MMA record to a perfect 18-0.
