Israel Adesanya shares theory about Jon Jones’ retirement
Israel Adesanya does not believe that Jon Jones has retired for good and believes that Jones will make a comeback in the future.
‘The Last Stylebender’ appeared on The Ariel Helwani Show, where he stated that he believes ‘Bones’ will return to face Aspinall if the UFC presents an irresistible financial incentive. He added that Jones is merely “rage-baiting” fans.
“I think [Jones] will come back. It’s just a drama of it… I had a look [at Jones’ X posts] and I was just like, ‘He’s coming back.’ This is all just what do they call it now? The kids call it rage-baiting. It’s working.”
Adesanya added:
“I think he’ll fight Tom [Aspinall]. It’s too much money. They offered him what $20-30 million, I heard. I think he’ll come back. It’ll even be bigger by the time he comes back ’cause Tom would have had like two fights or three and built up his own legacy as well.”
Why Michael Douglas Just Admitted to ‘Project 1995’ and the Drama Behind Rob’s Final Letter! For fifty years, Michael Douglas and Rob Reiner were the untouchable architects of the Hollywood elite. But as the investigation into the brutal December 2025 Brentwood murders intensifies, Douglas has broken his “vow of silence” to reveal a dark, subterranean secret that predates Nick Reiner’s violence by three decades. In a startling admission from a man facing his own “day of reckoning,” Douglas reveals that 24 hours before the tragedy, Rob Reiner sent him a frantic letter containing a terrifying warning: “He’s found the files on Project 1995. If I die, you’re next.” This isn’t just about a family dispute; it’s an autopsy of a high-stakes cover-up involving the death of a political intern named Sarah, a $200 million silence fund, and a “Malibu Ledger” that names the industry’s most powerful icons. Douglas confesses that he helped Rob build a “mental prison” around a 14-year-old Nick, using covert behavioral camps and high-dose sedatives to erase the boy’s memory of a crime he never should have witnessed. Now, as the FBI secures the hard drives and Douglas prepares to surrender to the District Attorney, the truth is finally out: Nick Reiner didn’t just pull a trigger; he performed “brutal surgery” on a system built on lies. Prepare to discover why the most dangerous thing in Hollywood wasn’t the drugs—it was the $200 million price tag on a child’s memory.
