Well, despite Israel Adesanya’s coach saying they would rather give Stipe Miocic a super fight, it looks like “Stylebender” is gunning hard for Jon Jones.

The UFC’s middleweight and light heavyweight champions escalated their war of words on Twitter, with Jones mocking City Kick-boxing head coach Eugene Bareman’s claim about heavyweight king Miocic.
