In a surprising revelation, Jon Jones admitted in an interview with The Sporting News that Israel Adesanya is his current favorite fighter in the UFC. Jones said this with the conviction that a fight between them would never come true.
Adesanya was taken aback. The middleweight champion initially dismissed it as insincere. Eventually, he accepted the olive branch extended by Jones. A video uploaded by Adesanya on Threads quickly went viral. In the video, they were seen sitting side by side, displaying a jovial and playful interaction. “We need more of this! Life is too short to not be able to squash beef’s and get along with the homie…Wish my man nothing but the best moving forward #respect,“ Jones wrote on Instagram.
Unexpectedly, Jones and Adesanya crossed paths on the casino floor in Las Vegas, where they spent a few moments together. Fans caught a glimpse of Jones fighting Adesanya, but the encounter was far less confrontational than expected. Instead, they were seen sparring and enjoying each other’s company. Even though UFC fans missed the highly anticipated fight, it is truly heartwarming to see two of the greatest fighters in UFC history put aside their differences and acknowledge each other’s greatness.
