Obviously I care first and foremost for Jon as a friend, as father, fianc\u00e9, son, brother. So I was sad to hear that. He called me a couple of hours before the news was released. He didn\u2019t find out until right before himself, and he was very apologetic about the whole situation to the whole coaching staff.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I kind of wanted to ride that high a little bit of beating DC.  That was a huge accomplishment for him. He put a lot of work in, and obviously this took away from that. But it definitely brought to light a more important issue that we have to face.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You know, I didn\u2019t see any giant signs or signals through camp.  Jon was probably more disciplined than he\u2019s ever been as far as the work leading up to the DC fight. He wasn\u2019t late for a single workout. I\u2019d see him multiple times a day. I was more focused on his performance objectives, and I didn\u2019t really see these signs, but maybe this brings to light some other things he\u2019s going to have to work out.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By now it is well known that UFC light heavyweight kingpin Jon Jones failed a random, pre-fight drug test prior to his UFC 182 showdown against Daniel Cormier.
