Many have pondered what a potential fight between Israel Adesanya and Jon Jones would play out.
They’re arguably the two best to ever do it and it’s a dream matchup for most UFC fans.
Each of them have exchanged words in the past, but the middleweight champion has recently stated he doesn’t have any “ill will” toward Jones.
Even so, many hope to one day see these two throw down in the cage. But that might not be happening anytime soon after they were seen hanging out together.
Israel Adesanya shared a quick video of himself sitting next to Jon Jones on Mark Zuckerberg’s new social media platform Threads.
Watch the two dap it up and laugh as they’re seemingly having a great time.

It’s actually great to see two of the UFC’s biggest stars getting along. Usually we see fighters talking trash or having beef with each other for no good reason.
If anything, this video is just refreshing to see. Even if the next post Adesanya shared was an image of himself and Jones hilariously getting in a little tussle.

We need more of this from the UFC. The biggest stars don’t always have to clash against each other. Especially considering Jon Jones is two weight classes higher than Israel Adesanya right now.
Fight fans seem to agree, as most people were just happy to see the two superstars getting along.

Yeah we’re not likely to ever see Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones like this.
Why not? It’s not like they had beef like Jon and DC.

Why not mentor the next potential GOAT of the UFC?
This is big on Jones part sometimes you don't need to destroy one another, you should mentor instead 👏🏿 😉

Maybe we’ll see these two hang out more often down the road.
I mean, how awesome would it be if they spent a day or two training together?
