UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones said middleweight champion Israel Adesanya is his favorite fighter in the promotion.
I hate to admit it, but I would say Israel Adesanya.ꦿ He’s probably the most entertaining guy in the organization right now. His whole story with [Alex] Pereira, that whole saga they had, it was probably the most entertaining thing I’ve seen out of the UFC in a while. Jones said.
As a reminder, Israel Adesanya and Alex Pereira had ꦅa rematch at UFC 287 on April 9. Israel won that fight by knockout 🌜in the second round.
The first fight between Adesanya and Pereira took place in November 2022 aಌt UFC🔥 281. That fight ended in a fifth-round TKO loss to Israel. He has 24 wins and two losses on his record. Alex has seven wins and two losses under his belt.
