Jon Jones really isn’t big on Israel Adesanya.

The UFC light heavyweight champion has been taking shots at the middleweight for the better part of this year now, even predicting the two would end up fighting sooner or later. Yesterday, in an interview with TheMacLife, Adesanya upped the anti, adding a date and location on when he felt the contest would happen.

Evidently, Jones wasn’t too impressed with the suggestion.

“Keep convincing yourself that one day you’ll be ready to face a boss like me. I’ll keep convincing myself that when that day comes, I will make you my absolute bitch,” Jones wrote on Twitter. “You said you saw me fight in person against Thiago and I didn’t look the same. I also got to see you fight KG, didn’t need to be in person. You were almost knocked out on more than one occasion.

“Thiago couldn’t even touch my face and he grew up kickboxing. You only got to see my striking that night and now you’re convinced you’ll beat me? Let me see you in a wrestling match or a jujitsu tournament, you probably wouldn’t even place. I can see you’re starting to sip your own Kool-Aid, I know how it feels, I’ve been there before. Only I was around 23. Just don’t become delusional kid, fuck with a beast like me and I will expose you.”
