Dethroned UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier has released a statement detailing his "very emotional" state after it was reported Jon Jones failed a drug test prior to their recent rematch at UFC 214.
Cormier suffered a third-round knockout defeat to Bones in Anaheim, California on July 29, and the 38-year-old gave his account of events to MMA Fighting following Jones' latest potential violation of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency's policy:
"It's hard to find words to describe how I'm feeling right now. I'm disappointed to hear the news. It's very emotional.
"We as athletes are entitled to due process, and I will refrain from saying much more until I know exactly what happened.
