The war of words between “Bones” and “The Last Style Bender” reminds the hottest feud in all of MMA.

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:

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:

Either way, they were off to the races. here are the highlights of Monday’s round of Twitter sparring:
