Jon Jones has apparently messed things up again. The elite pound-for-pound fighter has reportedly tested positive for a banned substance in his in-competition drug test for his UFC 214 title win over Daniel Cormier. TMZ was the first to report the failure, which has been confirmed by MMA Fighting.
TMZ also stated that he tested positive for anabolic steroid turinabol. That hasn’t been confirmed yet.
ESPN’s Brett Okamoto spoke to UFC president Dana White, who confirmed the positive test and suspension but contrary to the other reports, says that Jones has not been stripped of the UFC light heavyweight title at this point.
