UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones fought Daniel Cormier for five rounds on Saturday night, but given the opportunity, he would happily skip vacations to help UFC middleweight star Anderson Silva on his training camp for UFC 183.
Silva, a former UFC 185-pound champion, is set to return to the Octagon against Nick Diaz on Jan. 31 in Las Vegas, and "Bones", who sparred with the Brazilian one time in 2014, told Sportv he’s willing to help "The Spider" at the Black House gym in California.
"If there's anything I can do for you leading up to this fight, let me know," Jones said, "because I will definitely come out to California and train with you."
Jones, who will tie Silva’s record of consecutive title defenses with two more wins at light heavyweight, is eager as are many of us to see the Brazilian back in action – and hopes to see a stoppage against the former Strikeforce welterweight champion in Las Vegas.
"I did it, and I cannot wait to see you knock out Diaz," Jones said. "I believe in you so much. I know you got it. Get it done, baby, it's your turn."
UFC 183 takes place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Jan. 31.
