UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya still has his sights set on a super-fight with Jon Jones, but if that fight is ever to happen, “Bones” needs to “get his sh-t together.” And soon.
Adesanya will have all but cleared out the middleweight division if he beats Jared Cannonier next month, and the 32-year-old is thinking about another move up to 205, where he hopes to fight Jones.
But if that fight is to materialize, Jones needs to start fighting again, even if it’s at heavyweight.
“He should move up in weight first [before we fight],” Adesanya told reporters at a UFC press conference in Sydney, Australia (h/t MMA Fighting).
