Perhaps not surprisingly, you can consider UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones is unimpressed by what he saw from middleweight champ Israel Adesanya in his win over Yoel Romero.
Earlier this month at UFC 248, Adesanya and Romero put on what was widely considered a lackluster main event, with “The Last Style” bender retaining his title after earning a unanimous decision from the judges. Both men have blamed each other for why the fight failed to live up to expectations.
As far as Jones is concerned, it seems that – based on Adesanya’s performance – he’d rather not hear any more talk about a potential showdown against his fellow UFC champ.
Yoel is almost 10 years older than me and almost won that fight,” Jones wrote in response to a question on Twitter. “Without using his wrestling. That’s all I’ll say.”
Jones and Adesanya have been feuding for months, leading many to believe a superfight could be down the line. Adesanya, who debuted with the UFC in February 2018, has gone so far as to say it’s inevitable – he just needs time to round into form. Jones, however, might not be too interested.
At least not anymore.
