A highly anticipated fight between two UFC champions goes down Saturday night, and Jon Jones has given his prediction.
In the main event of UFC 259, middleweight champion Israel Adesanya will challenge light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz for the 205-pound strap. “The Last Stylebender” aims to make history, becoming the first undefeated fighter in UFC history to simultaneously hold two divisional championships.
The light heavyweight belt is something Jones knows well, as he was the 205-pound king for years before announcing his move to heavyweight last year. Blachowicz won Jones’ vacated title in September at UFC 253 by finishing Dominick Reyes in the second round by TKO. Interestingly, Adesanya’s last fight was during the main event of the same card, defending his middleweight title for the second time by finishing Paulo Costa via second-round TKO.
For Jones’ prediction, he is picking the ” Prince of Cieszyn.” In a now-deleted tweet, Bones wrote, “Jan by KO.” See a screenshot below:

It’s unclear how much of Jones’ prediction is rooted in his potential dislike for Adesanya. The two have gone back and forth on social media many times, challenging each other to a fight with savage trash talk.
