Woodley to Adesanya: Don’t talk crap to Jon Jones after you avoided fight with him

Tyron Woodley thinks reigning UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya needs to wind his neck in a little.

Adesanya has been taunting Jon Jones for the longest time but only moved up in weight when ‘Bones’ decided to vacate the light heavyweight title.

Woodley can’t understand why Adesanya, who said he wanted to clear out the middleweight division before fighting Jones, moved up to 205 pounds almost immediately after the latter moved up to heavyweight.

“I thought he had some business to do in the middleweight division and he was going to wait, and the second Jon Jones moved up to heavyweight, he moved up to 205,” Woodley told MMA Junkie’s Farah Hannoun in a recent interview.
