UFC superstar Jon Jones is firing back at Israel Adesanya -- saying he would DESTROY the 29-year-old so badly when they fight down the road ... "I’ll make you call me daddy by the third [round]."
Jon is responding to comments Israel made during an interview with TMZ Sports, when Adesanya told us a fight with Jones "tickles my loins" ... and added, "I already killed one GOAT and I'm hunting the next."
The "GOAT" Adesanya says he killed is Anderson Silva -- who Israel defeated in a 3-round unanimous decision back in February.
