When Jon Jones got pulled from UFC 200 following a pre-fight drug test failure, at least one notable UFC light heavyweight decided it was time to write him off as competition.
It looks like the light heavyweight division is already preparing for a long term future without Jon Jones. Or at least one athlete is, and he’s claiming that his view is pretty representative of the whole.
UFC top contender Anthony Johnson is getting ready for his upcoming bout with Glover Teixeira at UFC 202, as the co-main event fighting under Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz. In a recent interview with ESPN, Johnson spoke not about Glover, but instead about the man he was supposed to fight back at UFC 187, Jon Jones.
