Eugene Bareman: Israel Adesanya may go to 205 next, has ‘heart set’ to fight Jon Jones one day

When Israel Adesanya sets his mind to a task it gets done and that apparently includes a superfight with longtime light heavyweight king Jon Jones.

Adesanya’s coach Eugene Bareman isn’t looking too far ahead, but acknowledged the growing feud between the two on a recent interview with Submission Radio. While he could do without the personal trash talk between the two UFC superstars, he does expect them to settle their differences in the octagon at some point.

“Yeah, bringing parents into it is like… I can’t vibe with this, to be honest,” Bareman said (transcription via Submission Radio’s Denis Shkuratov).
