Jon Jones mocks Adesanya in series of Tweets following Jan Blachowicz booking

Reigning UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya has accused Jon Jones of running from him since the latter vacated his light heavyweight title last year in a bid for the heavyweight title.

With Jones looking to challenge the winner of Stipe Miocic vs. Francis Ngannou sometime later this year, the UFC announced on New Year’s Eve that Adesanya would move up in weight to face Jan Blachowicz for the light heavyweight belt in a ‘Champ vs. Champ’ super fight at UFC 259 — and ‘Bones’ was sure to make his feelings known about the matchup on Twitter.

Jones unleashed a series of Tweets where he mocked Adesanya, Blachowicz and the overall state of the light heavyweight division, although he didn’t call out ‘The Last Stylebender’ by name.
