Light heavyweight champ Jon Jones wasn’t too happy with Israel Adesanya’s comments about him.

UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones has had enough of Israel Adesanya’s comments about him, as ‘Bones’ has promised to eventually make Adesanya his ‘absolute b-tch.’

Adesanya is set to take on Robert Whittaker in the main event of UFC 243 this weekend. “The Last Stylebender” has said once he takes care of Whittaker and a few others in the middleweight division, he plans to move up to 205 pounds to face Jones in early 2021.

Catching on to Adesanya’s comments, Jones launched an attack towards the experienced kickboxer on Twitter earlier this week.

“[Israel Adesanya] keep convincing yourself that one day you’ll be ready to face a boss like me,” Jones began. “I’ll keep convincing myself that when that day comes, I will make you my absolute bitch.

“You said you saw me fight in person against Thiago and I didn’t look the same,” Jones wrote. “I also got to see you fight KG [Kelvin Gastelum], didn’t need to be in person. You were almost knocked out on more than one occasion.”

UFC president Dana White recently discussed on the ongoing feud between Adesanya and Jones, stating if Adesanya can get past Whittaker this weekend, a fight with Jones would be ‘really big.’ Jones continued his attack towards Adesanya by downplaying his wrestling and jiu-jitsu.

“Thiago couldn’t even touch my face and he grew up kickboxing. You only got to see my striking that night and now you’re convinced you’ll beat me? Let me see you in a wrestling match or a jujitsu tournament, you probably wouldn’t even place.”

Jones does not have his next title defense set as of yet.
