When news broke that Jon Jones was pulled from his title fight with Daniel Cormier at UFC 200 for an Anti-Doping Policy violation, the MMA community was in total shock.
With Jones going through the “full fair legal review process that is afforded to all athletes,” some potentially good news has come out for Jones.
MMA journalist Luke Thomas tweeted the following from UFC President Dana White: “White: I don’t know if this is public, it’s looking like Jon Jones did *not* take drug everyone thought he took. Says ‘could look good.’ ”
