In Jon Jones’ opinion, Israel Adesanya’s accolades are not comparable to his.
A former light heavyweight champ and current UFC heavyweight title holder, Jones (27-1 MMA, 21-1 UFC) is widely considered one of the greatest fighters of all time – if not the greatest. UFC middleweight champion Adesanya may have already done enough for a spot in the UFC’s Hall of Fame.
Although Jones and Adesanya (23-2 MMA, 12-2 UFC) never actively competed in the same division, the pair previously angled for a fight. “The Last Stylebender” was convinced it would happen someday. But with Jones now at heavyweight and Adesanya back as middleweight champion, a fight appears unlikely, at least as Jones sees it.
