The hottest feud in the UFC continues to be the one between a pair of competitors on opposite ends of the planet who fight in different weight classes.
UFC middleweight champion [autotag]Israel Adesanya[/autotag] and former light heavyweight champion [autotag]Jon Jones[/autotag] continued their war of words Monday, as their trash talk show no signs of slowing down.
Jones made the first move this time, saying Adesanya keeps talking about him but doesn’t want to fight:
Fighter and coach is mentioning my name in interviews but refused to sign the dotted line. Straight hoe shit. Mention a mans dead mother over the Internet but looking to fight Jared cannoneer 😩

He then retweeted more than a dozen replies from fans, waiting for Adesanya, who apparently didn’t spend his entire day refreshing Twitter. “The Last Style Bender” finally replied about two and a half hours later:
Let’s see him actually stop ducking the heavyweights.
I’ve set my plan in this game from the jump.
No man ever forced my hand.— Israel Adesanya (@stylebender) October 5, 2020
And it was on. Adesanya referenced Jones’ criminal record. Jones continued insisting Adesanya wants to duck him, while also making a curious tweet implying his current agency is not world class.
Lol If I wanted more attention, I would sign with a world-class talent agency. Maybe buy a few Ferraris and move to Miami. You’re sadly mistaken https://t.co/vvIqsSFWxm

Either way, they were off to the races. here are the highlights of Monday’s round of Twitter sparring:
Costa lost the fight the day he signed the contract to fight for the championship. His new fane defeated him before the fight even started. Kid just stood there in front of a kickboxer and showboated for the cameras. Don’t compare me to someone who’s proven nothing https://t.co/jpafKf4D4a

I’ve been famous since I was 21, who gives a shit about being hot. Do you know how many hot people I’ve seen come around since I’ve been here, many. McGregor is the only fighter who inspires me on a business level everyone else I just respect as an athlete https://t.co/r89enRnCY0

What do you do when Jon Jones murders you with facts, tell a cocaine joke. Maybe it’ll distract the fans from thinking about what was actually said.

Do you dummies even know how contracts work?
Some of y’all never even seen one.

He’ll never do it. He can just wait in line like the rest of them. https://t.co/PYz8ye2uwN— Israel Adesanya (@stylebender) October 6, 2020
McGregor came and made Ireland look like royalty. You came and made African men look soft. Get the fuck out of here
