It’s all systems go for Jon Jones’ light heavyweight title defense at UFC 235.
After lengthy testimony from a number of experts during an evidentiary hearing on Tuesday, Jones was licensed by the Nevada Athletic Commission, clearing the way for him to put his belt on the line against Anthony Smith on March 2 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
The license was granted to Jones on a one-fight, conditional basis by the commission, which required Jones to submit to and pay for random drug testing by the NAC until UFC 235.
