With Israel Adesanya making the media rounds ahead of UFC 243, his budding rivalry with light heavyweight champion Jon Jones has been a popular topic of conversation.
“The Last Stylebender” has not been shy when it comes to addressing a potential fight with Jonny “Bones,” and this week he even gave a tentative timetable for their hypothetical matchup. Adesanya will face Robert Whittaker in a middleweight title unification bout in the UFC 243 headliner in Melbourne on Saturday.
“[Jones] is definitely a boss in that game I want to play against,” Adesanya recently told The Mac Life.
