Shortly after he defeated Kelvin Gastelum to capture the interim middleweight title at UFC 236, Israel Adesanya was asked about a potential fight with UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Though Adesanya has previously expressed interest in a fight with Jones, he admitted that, fresh off a title-winning war with Gastelum, the light heavyweight champion is not on his radar at the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is about me,\u201d he said at the UFC 236 post-fight press conference (via MMAjunkie<\/a>). \u201cThis moment is right now is about what me and what me Kelvin did tonight. None of that. I\u2019ll address that at another time. But right now, it\u2019s about me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Speaking on Twitter on Sunday morning, Jon Jones seemingly reacted to this comment from Israel Adesanya. From the sounds of it, he’s not letting the Nigerian-born striker off the hook that easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Just waking up to the morning news, this is about you now bitch,” Jones wrote in a Tweet seemingly directed on Adesanya. <\/p>\n\n\n\n At present, Israel Adesanya can look forward to a title unifying showdown with undisputed champ Robert Whittaker. The winner of this fight can also look forward to a battle with long-time middleweight contender Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
