Israel Adesanya continues rivalry with fellow UFC champion Jon Jones: ‘I don’t like him, he doesn’t like me’

Israel Adesanya has claimed that he believes his longstanding “story” with fellow UFC champion, Jon Jones is far from over – noting the personal issues both men appear to have with each other.

Adesanya, a two-time and current middleweight champion, most recently headlined UFC 287 back in April of this year, reclaiming the division crown with a spectacular second round KO win over Alex Pereira.

As for Jones, the Endicott native returned to the Octagon for the first time in over three years back in March, claiming the vacant heavyweight title with a stunning opening round guillotine choke win over former interim titleholder, Ciryl Gane at UFC 285.
