UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones expressed words of support to the former holder of the middle division belt Israel Adesanya, who the day before announced his decision to take a break from his career.
“Hey Izzy, I just want to say that I support your decision to take a break. Taking a break is one of the best decisions I've ever made.
Always put yourself first, brother. Protect your heart, protect your soul and spirit. Proud of you, champ,” Jones wrote on X.
Let us remember that in September Adesanya lost by unanimous decision to Sean Strickland and lost his belt.
