CURRENT EVENTS:
- Jon Jones and Israel Adesanya back and forth on Twitter
- Jones: Fighter and coach is mentioning my name in interviews but refused to sign the dotted line. Straight hoe shit. Mention a mans dead mother over the Internet but looking to fight Jared cannoneer
- Adesanya: Let’s see him actually stop ducking the heavyweights. I’ve set my plan in this game from the jump. No man ever forced my hand.
- Jones: Lol If I wanted more attention, I would sign with a world-class talent agency. Maybe buy a few Ferraris and move to Miami. You’re sadly mistaken
- Jones: Costa lost the fight the day he signed the contract to fight for the championship. His new fane defeated him before the fight even started. Kid just stood there in front of a kickboxer and showboated for the cameras. Don’t compare me to someone who’s proven nothing
- Jones: I’ve been famous since I was 21, who gives a shit about being hot. Do you know how many hot people I’ve seen come around since I’ve been here, many. McGregor is the only fighter who inspires me on a business level everyone else I just respect as an athlete
- Jones: What do you do when Jon Jones murders you with facts, tell a cocaine joke. Maybe it’ll distract the fans from thinking about what was actually said.
- Adesanya: Do you dummies even know how contracts work? Some of y’all never even seen one. “SiGn dA CoNtRaKT!”
- Adesanya: Fuck records. You should know. How many criminal records you got You’ve lost your belts how many times?
- Jones: Lol Exactly what does this have to do with us fighting? More distractions from the actual conversation
- Adesanya: Lol…been cock teasing heavyweight move for 7 years. He’ll never do it. He can just wait in line like the rest of them.

- Adesanya: Soft
