Jon Jones may have entertained an eventual showdown with UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya in the past, but after watching him lose to Jan Blachowicz this past weekend, he’s no longer interested.
In his first fight at light heavyweight, Adesanya ultimately lost a unanimous decision to reigning 205-pound champion Jan Blachowicz in the UFC 259 main event. While the fight was statistically close, Blachowicz closed out the fight with his two most dominant rounds where he spent the majority of the time controlling Adesanya on the ground after scoring a pair of takedowns.
