Add fan favorite UFC welterweight Matt Brown onto the long list of fighters disappointed with the way the UFC handled the repeated anomalies found on the recent drug tests of Jon Jones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking to the media backstage at Bellator 214 over the weekend, Brown gave his take on the situation, and he did not mince words. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLike I tweeted out, it was very disgusting to me the way that went down,\u201d Brown said (via BloodyElbow<\/a>) \u201cApparently, he tested positive again, right? So we have another positive test.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matt Brown continued: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s a lack of integrity man, and I just want to see the sport grow with integrity,\u201d he said. \u201cIt should be about what the martial arts is; it should be about the best competing against the best and things like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just f\u2014ng terrible, man. I can\u2019t understand why \u2013 if they\u2019re gonna let him do it, let him do it, right? Why not let us all do steroids, whatever. People are just gonna do it. Otherwise, ban these sons of b-tches, you know?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEither you can do it or you can\u2019t,\u201d he added. \u201cWhy are we in this gray area? It\u2019s garbage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Matt Brown insists he still loves the UFC, he could not contain his distaste with this issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I love the UFC to death, man, and I have so much respect for every single one of those guys,\u201d Brown said. \u201cI think it was just a poor decision at that point. They\u2019ve been (in existence) for almost 30 years now, the UFC. You\u2019re gonna make some bad decisions, and I think that was a bad decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt just takes away from it and it really makes me sad because I want to see our sport grow with integrity and organically, but that\u2019s what it is. They\u2019ve got to make some money so who am I to say anything?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you think of Matt Brown’s take on the Jon Jones situation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
