Israel Adesanya said he’d be willing to move up a weight class or two down the line to take on champions Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic. And with middleweight champ Adesanya (18-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC) and light heavyweight champ Jones (25-1 MMA, 19-1 UFC) trading barbs even after Adesanya’s spectacular performance over Robert Whittaker this past weekend at UFC 243, it seems both parties are willing to throw down. But Adesanya’s head coach, Eugene Bareman, doesn’t seem too interested in a potential fight with Jones. He says Jones needs Adesanya a lot more than Adesanya needs him. And he’d rather see “The Last Stylebender” face heavyweight champ Miocic instead.
