Jon Jones and Israel Adesanya are two of the top MMA fighters in the world today.

While they have different fighting styles, both have achieved incredible success in the Octagon.

Jon Jones, the current UFC heavyweight champion, is widely regarded as one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time, with an impressive record of 27 wins and only one loss.

Jones is known for his exceptional fight IQ and his ability to execute a range of techniques, including ground elbows, ranged elbows, and take downs.

He is also a specialist in title defences, having successfully defended his championship belt numerous times.

Jones’ signature moves, the Oblique kick and spinning elbow, are feared by his opponents, making him a force to be reckoned with in the Octagon.

On the other hand, Israel Adesanya, the current UFC middleweight champion, has a very different fighting style.

Born in Nigeria and raised in New Zealand, Adesanya’s striking skills were honed during his earlier kickboxing career. He has an impressive record of 24 wins and only 2 losses, and he is known for his speed and agility in the Octagon.

Adesanya is particularly skilled in using the jab, fake kick, and posture range to keep his opponents at bay. He also has a high fight attitude and is constantly improving, making him a formidable opponent in the middleweight division.
