If Jon Jones is to be believed, his UFC return could arrive a lot sooner than initially anticipated.
The interim light heavyweight champion was pulled from the UFC 200 headliner on July 9 against Daniel Cormier after it was revealed he failed an out-of-competition drug test on June 16, testing positive for two estrogen blocking substances: hydroxyclomiphene and letrozole metabolite.
Jones apologized for the failed drug test in a tearful press conference on July 7 and denied ever using performance enhancing drugs. “Bones” has been largely silent since then, but in a video posted to an Instagram account on Sunday, he was much more upbeat.
