Jon Jones halts feud with Israel Adesanya until potential fight in 2021

UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones has had enough of middleweight champion Israel Adesanya.

For the last several months, the two fighters have traded jabs through both the media and the internet, with neither one hiding their disdain for the other’s lifestyle. While Jones made it clear he was more than willing to welcome the 185-pound champion to the 205-pound division in order settle their differences, Adesanya made it known he wants to defend his new title in 2020 before their inevitable clash in 2021.

Too bad that hasn’t stopped the verbal sparring.
