Will UFC 248 be remembered as the night that led to Israel Adesanya fighting Jon Jones?
Adesanya headlines 248 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, meeting a dangerous-yet-aging opponent Yoel Romero.
Originally intended to meet Paulo Costa in the main event, Adesanya wisely called out Romero after Costa was ruled out with a bicep injury. Romero still looks like a monster, but the reality is he has dropped three of his past four fights and it is highly unlikely that he is the man to dethrone Adesanya of his Middleweight Championship. If Adesanya wins, all ears will be listening to see if he calls out Jones in his post-fight Octagon interview.
