"To be honest, I don't think it makes much sense. As soon as I said I'd like to do a heavyweight fight, people immediately started associating it with Jon Jones' name. It became a topic of discussion, even if only among fans. I don't want to train with him now because if we do meet in the octagon, it will give people something to discuss. It doesn't make sense at the moment - it would be more logical to have the fight first and then organize joint training like we did with Sean Strickland"
