The best pound-for-pound fighter in the world is no longer a UFC champion.
The UFC stripped Jon Jones of his light heavyweight title Tuesday night in the wake of his arrest on felony hit-and-run charges this week, UFC president Dana White announced on FOX Sports 1. Anthony Johnson will remain in the main event of UFC 187 and meet Daniel Cormier with the title on the line.
"It's not fun, but you know what they say: the show goes on," White said.
Jones has been suspended from the UFC indefinitely.
