The Ultimate Fighting Championship went into crisis mode this week, moving the highly-anticipated UFC 232 from Las Vegas to Los Angeles on six days’ notice after learning that the Nevada Athletic Commission would not license headliner Jon Jones to fight.
In the wake of an “abnormal finding” that the former champ’s urine still had a trace amount of Turinabol, the same steroid for which he was suspended last summer, fighters and fans alike were left scrambling. There was also no shortage of controversy, with high-profile observers weighing in on whether the test result was an indicator of ongoing PED use by Jones, or an insignificant anomaly.
