Perhaps not surprisingly, you can consider UFC light heavyweight champion [autotag]Jon Jones[/autotag] is unimpressed by what he saw from middleweight champ [autotag]Israel Adesanya[/autotag] in his win over Yoel Romero.
Earlier this month at UFC 248, Adesanya and Romero put on what was widely considered a lackluster main event, with “The Last Style” bender retaining his title after earning a unanimous decision from the judges. Both men have blamed each other for why the fight failed to live up to expectations.
As far as Jones is concerned, it seems that – based on Adesanya’s performance – he’d rather not hear any more talk about a potential showdown against his fellow UFC champ.
Yoel is almost 10 years older than me and almost won that fight,” Jones wrote in response to a question on Twitter. “Without using his wrestling. That’s all I’ll say.”

Jones and Adesanya have been feuding for months, leading many to believe a superfight could be down the line. Adesanya, who debuted with the UFC in February 2018, has gone so far as to say it’s inevitable – he just needs time to round into form. Jones, however, might not be too interested.
At least not anymore.
