The rivalry between Jon Jones and Israel Adesanya does not appear to be ending anytime soon as the UFC champions continue to trade verbal jabs at one another.<\/p>\n
Jones and Adesanya having been going back and forth at each other for months now, but their war of words seemed to hit new heights following ‘Bones’ recent arrest in New Mexico.<\/p>\n
While ‘Stylebender’ was very critical of Jones’ most recent charges, he doesn’t want to see Jon stripped of his light heavyweight title. Instead, Adesanya wants Jones to hold on to that strap, this so he can take it from him inside of the Octagon in 2021.<\/p>\n
“I hope he stays champion. That way I’d be the guy to take out the quote unquote Goat.” Israel Adesanya explained to Damon Martin of MMAFighting<\/a>. “The one everyone keeps talking about. Like I said, I’ve been chopping Goat meat for a long time. This will be nothing different.”<\/p>\n Jon Jones clearly caught word of the UFC middleweight champions recent remarks, as he proceeded to issue the following response on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n You\u2019re walking into a lion\u2019s den in search of a goat and you wonder why no one\u2018s ever come out successful.<\/p>\n — BONY (@JonnyBones) May 2, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
