Jon Jones will have to undergo extra drug testing in relation to his upcoming fight this weekend.
The former UFC light heavyweight champion enrolled in the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) drug testing program Monday. The California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) required the extra testing in order to approve the fight – which was moved from Las Vegas to Inglewood, Calif. on Sunday after Jones failed to receive licensing from the Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC).
The news was first reported by ESPN, and was confirmed by MMA Fighting with CSAC executive officer Andy Foster shortly after.
