Jon Jones On Cheating Claims, Daniel Cormier Says Jones Is Making Mockery Of MMA, Pettis Vs. Poirier
- The UFC light heavyweight championship has been returned to Daniel Cormier after his loss to Jon Jones at UFC 214 last July was overturned to a no contest. While speaking on UFC Tonight on FOX Sports 1, Cormier stated it was the right thing to do and that Jon Jones has once again made a mockery of the sport. You can watch his comments in the video embedded above. As we reported, here on WrestlingINC.com, the B sample of Jones collected prior to the fight confirmed a failed drug test. Jones tested positive for Turinabol, an anabolic steroid.
- While Jon Jones is facing a four-year suspension, he maintains his innocence. Below is what he tweeted to a follower earlier today who told him to "just tell the truth":
Dude the truth is I would never do steroids, I put that on my children and I put that on my Heavenly Father
