Kiwi UFC champ Israel Adesanya has controversially told rival Jon Jones that his mother - who passed away in 2017 - would be disappointed at who he has become.
The barb came towards the end of a lengthy Twitter back and forth between the duo, where Adesanya said Jones was "first to bring family into" it and "he starts it, I finish it."
Adesanya and Jones have been embroiled in a war of words on social media since UFC 253. In a staggering 15 tweets over 24-hours, Jones did his best to get the attention of the current undefeated UFC Middleweight Champion.
The online hostility took an intense turn when Adesanya mentioned the ex-UFC light-heavyweight champion's late mother.
Talking about a potential UFC super-fight, Jones tweeted: "I'm curious to hear what his father tells him when he asks about fighting me. I wonder if his father believes he's ready? Eugene definitely doesn't."
