Now he wants the no-contest which caused him to have his championship taken away from him expunged from his record.
Jones, returning from his first USADA suspension last year, defeated Daniel Cormier via third-round head kick at UFC 214 in Anaheim in July 2017 to seemingly win the 205-pound belt of which he was stripped following legal trouble in 2015.
But Jones’ joy was short lived. After the bout, it was announced that Jones had failed a pre-fight drug test for Turinabol, a banned substance. Jones was given a second suspension, and the California State Athletic Commission changed the result of Jones’ win to a no-contest.
