Israel Adesanya and Jon Jones have a history of Twitter beef for the longest time. They recently squashed their beef when the duo met in person. The duo even shadow-boxed during the meeting, and Israel hilariously tried to poke Jones’ eyes. Israel will compete against Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 293 in Sydney. On his YouTube channel, Israel Adesanya revealed future plans with Jon Jones.

The middleweight champion said, “We have understanding and common ground, we’re just competitors, bro. I went deep into my YouTube comments. That made me smile. I was smiling so hard watching this,’ and giving people that feeling watching us spar and play around, it was like, is this what world peace would feel like? Imagine world peace when people aren’t at war, people aren’t fighting, that’s what it felt like.” (H/T MMA Fighting)

Adesanya also revealed that the champions have plans to train together in the future. He also said that it was not a fake interaction. Adesanya has a tough task against Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 293. Dricus outclassed Robert Whittaker and won the bout via TKO in the second round. Adesanya will sweep the middleweight division if he can defeat Dricus at UFC 293. He has defeated every other contender in the division other than Dricus.

On the other hand, Jon Jones will fight Stipe Miocic in the New York City PPV card. The heavyweight champion will defend his title for the first time in his home state. Jones was born and raised in New York before moving to New Mexico for training in MMA. Fight fans look forward to the clash between the GOAT and the heavyweight GOAT.

The rivalry between Israel Adesanya and Dricus Du Plessis became hotter by the moment leading up to UFC 290. After Dricus defeated Whittaker, Adesanya went into the ring and dropped racial slurs on Dricus. Adesanya made bold declarations on Twitter.

The middleweight champion wrote, “This next one, I’m gonna have fun. It takes a village hidden in the streets of Mt Eden to create this upcoming masterpiece. I will express it in blood, #andstill come out clean.”

Fight fans look forward to the middleweight title fight at UFC 293. Adesanya could claim to be the greatest middleweight fighter if he can defeat Dricus in Sydney. It remains neck and neck-competition between Israel and Anderson Silva at the top of the middleweight division.
