Jon Jones has made it very public that he dislikes Israel Adesanya. In the past, both men have spoken ill of each other in the press and on social media. Usually, Jones dissects his upcoming opponents on social media, tells fans the holes in their game, then goes out and beats them. But, in the case of Adesanya, Jon was never able to fully judge the work on Adesanya inside of the cage, middleasy reports
Both champions have been wanting to lay hand on each other. Lately, Jones gave his views on Israel Adesanya's latest title defence and it's clear he wasn't impressed.

Yoel is almost 10 years older than me and almost won that fight Without using his wrestling. That’s all I’ll say https://t.co/z6A87fs4w8

A fight might just happen between the duo sooner than later.
If Adesanya faces Jones, he could be the new face of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. He could also become just the eighth fighter to hold two UFC title belts at the same time.
