If Jon Jones is trying to rile up Israel Adesanya, it does not appear to be working.
On Saturday at UFC 243, Adesanya became the newest undisputed champion in the UFC, knocking out Robert Whittaker in the second round to unify the titles. Shortly afterwards, light heavyweight champion Jon Jones took to Twitter, throwing shade at Adesanya for targeting a fight with him in two years instead of immediately. Well yesterday, Adesanya responded, saying that Jones is just trying to bait him but that he can’t jump up immediately because he needs to defend the middleweight title against the top contenders first.
