Obesegrade mellanviktaren Israel Adesanya segrade stort under helgens UFC 243 i Australien där han knockade mästaren Robert Whittaker i den andra ronden.
Förra veckan hade Adesanya förutspått att han kommer att möta lätt-tungviktsmästaren Jon Jones på en gala i Las Vegas 2021. Jones blev tillsynes irriterad över detta uttalandet och menade att Adesanya inte har det självförtroende för att möta honom.
Nu har Adesanya svarat på uttalandet, via ’Ariel Helwani MMA Show’:
My confidence? Get my fucking nuts out of your mouth. This guy is trying to force my hand. I’m not stupid. It’s not about me not being confident. I will fuck this motherfucker up when I fight him.
I just have to do what I have to do. I have to defend my belt. I just defended my belt and I am the new unified king. I have three or four more killers I have to fuck up at middleweight first. And then I will move up in weight. And then I will jump up and fuck this guy up. I plan everything from the jump. I have shown everyone that this is what I am going to do and how I am going to do it. I already said Raiders Stadium, Las Vegas in 2021.
And he is contradicting himself because he says, ‘I think I’m alright here (at light heavyweight) I’m not going to move up to heavyweight. Why do I have to go up? I don’t have to fight ‘DC’ at heavyweight.’ Now ‘DC’ is retiring and now he might move up to heavyweight.
He’s just contradicting himself and trying to take my moment. You can’t even fuck with me right now, dude. Look at me! Who the fuck is the new face of UFC? Do you think Jon Jones can ever pull some shit like that? I saw him with that bullshit as Nelly entrance when he did the electric slide. You can’t fuck with me on anything.
Vad tycker ni om Adesanyas svar? Tror ni att ett möte mellan de två kommer att bli av i framtiden?
