VIDEO: Israel Adesanya and Jon Jones Meet In Person, Seemingly Squash Beef
Israel Adesanya and Jon Jones may have squashed their beef.
Adesanya and Jones had been known to hurl barbs at one another on social media. It all began when the reigning UFC Middleweight Champion expressed a desire to fight "Bones." Jones responded by daring Adesanya to test him in the jungle.
While the competitive spirit led to both men getting a bit more personal with their trash talk, it soon became apparent that a match-up between the two is out of reach. They are two weight classes apart, and it seems both men know the fight won't happen and are showing love.
