UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya has ruthlessly trolled his longtime rival Jon Jones with a Valentine’s Day post.<\/p>\n

Adesanya (22-1 MMA) successfully defended his 185lbs title with a unanimous decision victory over Robert Whittaker (23-6 MMA) in the main event of UFC 271 last night in Houston, Texas.<\/p>\n

Izzy’s second career victory over Whittaker served as his fourth consecutive title defense and solidified his status as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters on the planet.<\/p>\n

Israel Adesanya was clearly in a jovial mood on Sunday afternoon and took some time out of his day to throw shade at his longtime nemesis in Jon Jones.<\/p>\n

As seen below, ‘Stylebender’ taunted ‘Bones’ with a Valentine’s Day post<\/a> mocking the former light heavyweight champion’s previous domestic violence<\/a> issues.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/twitter.com\/stylebender\/status\/1493045980735983616<\/a><\/p>\n

“Happy Valentine\u2019s Day 💖💕 It\u2019s the thought that counts xo.”<\/em> – Adesanya captioned a photo suggesting Jones would be supplying physical abuse on February 14.<\/p>\n

Jon Jones (26-1 MMA) has not competed since UFC 247 in February of 2020, where he scored a unanimous decision victory over Dominick Reyes. Due to his absence from the sport, ‘Bones’ recently slipped to #4 on the official pound-for-pound rankings.<\/p>\n

Jon took exception to that decision stating the following on Twitter:<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s funny seeing people have the satisfaction of being ranked over me when I\u2019m not even competing. Just take me off that silly list.” <\/em>Jones said, seemingly taking a shot at Izzy. “When you’re ranked over Jon Jones on a pound for pound list but know you can\u2019t defend a takedown.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Jones has not yet responded to Izzy’s troll job, but given their storied past one can only expect a rebuttal will come swiftly.<\/p>\n

As for Israel Adesanya, the reigning UFC middleweight champion is hoping to return to the Octagon this June for a bout with top contender Jared Cannonier.<\/p>\n
