Sept. 22, 2012 was a night that saw Ultimate Fighting Championship light heavyweight champion Jon Jones overcome an early submission attempt by Vitor Belfort to secure his fourth defense of his title at UFC 152. Almost three years to the day after that eventful evening in Toronto, Deadspin.com ran a story by Josh Gross stating that the promotion was receiving test results from an anti-aging clinic in Las Vegas that detailed irregular results from Belfort in the weeks leading up to the bout.
The allegations that Jones was unaware of the promotion having knowledge that his opponent, a fighter twice nabbed in regulatory dragnets with performance-enhancing drugs in his system, was likely using testosterone and allowed the fight to go on as scheduled should be a shocking detail.
