UFC 259: Jon Jones trolls Israel Adesanya after first defeat by Jan Blachowicz – ‘dare to be great, good job kid’
- ‘The greatest striking MMA has ever seen? This needs to stop already,’ Jones writes in series of tweets
- ‘Seems like everyone worried about me can’t get past what’s in front of them. Weird,’ adds former light heavyweight champ
It didn’t take long for Jon Jones to start trolling Israel Adesanya after “The Last Stylebender” suffered the first loss of his professional MMA career.
In fact, “Bones” even got the party started during light heavyweight champ Jan Blachowicz’s unanimous decision win in the UFC 259 main event on Saturday night in Las Vegas.
“December is going to be great,” former 205-pound king Jones wrote on Twitter while the fight was still going on, with the 38-year-old Pole starting to dominate the Nigerian-Kiwi on the ground.
It was a thinly-veiled reference to Adesanya’s fight week claim that he would take on Jones in the last month of 2021, presumably based on the premise he would beat Blachowicz to become a dual-division champ.
“Great job Jan there’s two minutes left in the fight but Izzy is on bottom, great win. Definitely not expecting any surprises,” the 33-year-old American added, rubbing salt into the wounds.
And once the fight was officially over, with Blachowicz earning two scores of 49-45, and one 49-46, Jones went all in.
