City Kickboxing coach Eugene Bareman thinks Jon Jones is the one trying to mirror Israel Adesanya ’s career moves – not the other way around. With a potential fight between UFC middleweight champion Adesanya and former UFC light heavyweight champ Jones looming, the two stars will have to meet somewhere in the middle. But Jones (25-1 MMA, 20-1 UFC) recently relinquished his 205-pound title in August and announced that his next bout will take place at heavyweight. Adesanya (20-0 MMA, 9-0 UFC), on the other hand, is expected to move up to light heavyweight to challenge newly crowned champion Jan Blachowicz in the first quarter of 2021.
