Israel Adesanya has shared the list to say he doesn’t really know what it means, but it’s provocative, it gets the people going. This will no doubt garner a response from Jon Jones, who was not ranked in the top 3. Jones previously posted servers messages and videos when Khabib Nurmagomedov was promoted to number one on the UFC’s P4P list.
All this seems to have done among fans, is cause a stir. With many not happy about Khamzat Chimaev making into into the list, after just three UFC fights. And of course, people will always have their own views on how the power rankings should be ordered.
What would you change?
