The feud first started when<a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc\/israel-adesanya-welcomes-jon-jones-challenge\/\"> Adesanya called out Jones.<\/a> Since then the two have been trading shots at each other on frequent occasion.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Silva, who fought Adesanya at UFC 234, believes &#8216;The Last Stylebender&#8217; disrespected Jones with the way he handled the trash-talk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe way I see it, as an athlete, he disrespected Jon Jones,\u201d Silva told reporters today in Brazil (transcript via <a href=\"https:\/\/mmajunkie.com\/2019\/04\/anderson-silva-israel-adesanya-crossed-the-line-with-disrespect-of-jon-jones\">MMAJunkie<\/a>). \u201cI think for the business, for (UFC President) Dana (White), it\u2019s great. It\u2019s great business for the UFC. Regardless of whether they fight or not, the UFC wins \u2013 and the fans. But there is a lack of respect. I think he crossed the line a bit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Jones added fuel to the fire, Silva knows Adesanya is young and eager to show why he is the best. However, &#8216;The Spider&#8217; believes &#8216;The Last Stylebender&#8217; should show the same respect to Jones as he did to him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith time, he\u2019ll learn how to deal with those things,\u201d Silva said. \u201cI think he has to respect everything Jon Jones has done. It\u2019s two great fighters. In the future, who knows \u2013 they might fight. But I\u2019m from a time when you have honor. You respect everyone\u2019s space. And that\u2019s my opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no question Silva doesn&#8217;t agree with Adesanya&#8217;s callout of Jones but understands why the UFC may be interested in the potential fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s my personal opinion because Israel is young and Jon Jones has a great story for a long time in this sport,\u201d Silva said. \u201cI think Adesanya needs to respect Jon Jones, but for the business, it\u2019s good for Dana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI respect all fighters, especially Jon Jones. Jon Jones is my young brother and I don\u2019t have a problem talking about Jon Jones. He\u2019s the best fighter in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you agree with Anderson Silva that Israel Adesanya crossed the line in his trash-talk with Jon Jones?
