Last month, Jones revealed he “had a feeling” a future fight against the young middleweight was inevitable. A little more than one month later, Adesanya is echoing these comments, revealing the light heavyweight champion’s comments didn’t fall on deaf ears.
“It does tickle my loins,” Adesanya said. “It does make me feel some type of way. I like challenges. [Jones] is the GOAT right now, right? I’ve already killed one GOAT, I’m hunting the next.”
The first “GOAT” Adesanya is referring is, of course, former middleweight champion Anderson Silva, who fell to “The Last Stylebender” in the main event of UFC 234 in February.
