UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones suggested his help to middleweight champion Robert Whittaker in preparing for his title fight against Israel Adesanya.

"Just remember that it's real. For me it would be an honor to train with you before the fight. Let's make you even more ready for this fight," said Jones.

The duel between Whittaker and Adesanya is about to be held in October in Australia as part of UFC 243.
