Jon Jones has cleared the first hurdle to keeping his UFC 235 date intact.
Test results have come back clean for fight night drug screenings administered to Jones by USADA and the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) on Dec. 29 in relation to his UFC 232 rematch against Alexander Gustafssson. CSAC executive director Andy Foster confirmed the news to MMA Fighting on Thursday following an initial report by ESPN.
Jones’ test results came back free of any picograms of the M3 metabolite, the same longterm metabolite of oral turinabol that was discovered in Jones’ system in three different drug tests since Aug.
