Israel Adesanya wants to clean out middleweight division, ‘then I’ll whoop Jon Jones’ ass’

Israel Adesanya knows he’s on a collision course with UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones, but the fight won’t happen until he’s ready for it to happen.

Just a few weeks removed from his second-round knockout against Robert Whittaker to unify the UFC middleweight title, Adesanya is still enjoying a bit of a victory tour. But he’s also started to look ahead toward his next fight.

“The Last Stylebender” is already targeting multi-time title contender Yoel Romero as his next opponent in early 2020 with middleweights such as Paulo Costa and Jared Cannonier in his sights as well.
