Jon Jones: Fighting Israel Adesanya, Jan Blachowicz ‘does nothing for my legacy’

Jon Jones is solely focused on becoming a two-division champion.

While Jones has indulged in back-and-forth social media chatter with UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya, and to a lesser degree UFC light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz, he has for the most part maintained that his goal is to become UFC heavyweight champion after vacating his own light heavyweight title in August.

Late Monday evening, Jones continued a Twitter run that also involved responding to criticism from longtime rival Daniel Cormier and he dismissed the suggestion that there is any need for him to fight Adesanya or Blachowicz.
