Five fights later and he&#8217;s now the interim champion of the middleweight division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To earn that label, &#8216;The Last Stylebender&#8217; defeated Kelvin Gastelum in a thrilling fight of the year candidate in <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/kelvin-gastelum\/ufc-236-results-israel-adesanya-defeats-kelvin-gastelum-highlights\/\">UFC 236&#8217;s co-main event<\/a> this past Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to the big win, Adesanya made it clear that he is &#8216;<a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc\/ufc-236-israel-adesanya-says-he-is-hunting-jon-jones\/\">hunting for Jon Jones<\/a>.&#8217; A statement that has led to some verbal exchanges between the two since. Well&#8230; It&#8217;s now Monday and it hasn&#8217;t slowed down yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Ariel Helwani's MMA Show (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/espnmma\/status\/1117904574352908290\" target=\"_blank\">Ariel Helwani&#8217;s MMA Show<\/a>, Adesanya described Jones as a bully for his timing of coming after him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s a c*nt,\u201d Adesanya said on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"The MMA Hour (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JywVoNQ4Fyg\" target=\"_blank\">The MMA Hour<\/a>. \u201cFirst of all, there\u2019s two variables I never expected in this game. The first was to fight [Anderson] Silva and now to fight Jon Jones. I have to adapt to that. So, he\u2019s a c*nt and I say that because he\u2019s picking the time when I\u2019m supposed to get the most shine to come at me because he\u2019s irrelevant. No one really cares about him. I\u2019m everything he wished he was, I\u2019m everything he wished he would have been. Like \u2018Ooooh, I want to thank God\u2019 and meanwhile he\u2019s in the back *makes snorting noise* and the hiding under a cage to avoid USADA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI know some things, the streets are talking. Everyone knows what\u2019s up behind the scene. So, I\u2019m everything he wished he was. People don\u2019t have to like me but it\u2019s hard not to like me. Like, f*ck, I just put on one the best fights you\u2019ve ever seen and I\u2019m a nice guy. I\u2019m actually a nice guy. I\u2019m sure to his team and his people he\u2019s actually nice but, yeah, I don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf he wants to come down to 185 [pounds] then I mean, hey, kill yourself to come down,&#8221; Adesanya continued. &#8220;I wouldn\u2019t advise it. Eventually at a catchweight or something. I\u2019ll come up. I like the sound of two belts. But he knows I\u2019m getting better each fight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After Adesanya expressed his thoughts on the matter, it prompted some fired up responses from the light heavyweight champion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/JonnyBones\/status\/1117892832029630464\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/JonnyBones\/status\/1117897095875182593\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Bro how are you going to call me out talking about your &#8216;hunting the goat&#8217;, and then call me a bully for replying to you??&#8221; Jones tweeted. &#8220;You sound like you know you can\u2019t beat me right now, so if that\u2019s the case, keep my name out your mouth and we won\u2019t have these problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;He doesn\u2019t even have to show respect if he doesn\u2019t want to, just don\u2019t back down once you\u2019re addressed next time. Kind of makes you look like a lil bitch real talk&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jones continued on briefly saying that Adesanya &#8216;ain&#8217;t ready&#8217; for a fight with him. Adesanya rebutted by reminding Jones of who mentioned who first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JonnyBones?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@JonnyBones<\/a> &#8230;<br>Who called who out first?!<br>Keep my name out your mouth!!<br>I&#39;m still working through 185, so sure you may have the better percentage &quot;right now&quot;.
