UFC President Dana White has shared his reaction to Jon Jones recent admission that he had previously hid from NSAC officials in 2016.<\/p>\n

Four years ago, reports surfaced that ‘Bones<\/a>‘ had hidden underneath the Octagon at his training center of JacksonWink, this to avoid getting a drug test from USADA officials who randomly showed up at the gym.<\/p>\n

While Jon Jones had never previously admitted to these reports, which originally circulated through his former opponent Chael Sonnen, he did shed some light on incident in a response to bitter rival Israel Adesanya last week.<\/p>\n

‘Stylebender’ had taken to Twitter<\/a> where he directed the following insults in the way of ‘Bones’.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/twitter.com\/stylebender\/status\/1314429799884943361<\/p>\n

“Well you sleep under the cage so… Get in your tighty nighty and go to underneath the cage like the ugly putrid troll you are. Fun Facts! I napped under the cage in 2010 cuz I didn’t wanna waste gas going home so I stayed at the gym till evening training. Jonathan stayed under the cage to hide from USADA during a random drug test. This is fact. Y’all must have forgot.”<\/em><\/p>\n

It did not take long for Israel Adesanya to receive a response from Jon Jones, and when he did ‘Bones’ revealed a long kept secret, much to the dismay of Dana White.<\/p>\n

“Brother explain your titty. <\/span>I was hiding from Nevada state Athletic Commission, not USADA and that was years ago.. I had just smoked a blunt and was afraid I would fail my test for weed <\/span>that\u2019s the actual truth Now everyone knows.”<\/em><\/p>\n

During today’s UFC Fight Island 6 pre-fight press conference, Dana White was questioned about Jones’ recent admission. Here is what the UFC boss had to say (via MMAMania<\/a>):<\/p>\n

\u201cThey don\u2019t test for marijuana. If what he was worried about was marijuana, they don\u2019t test for marijuana in the pre-testing. If it was within the fight window, he would have been here and gotten tested anyway.”<\/p>\n

Dana White continued:<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know anything about that. But, unless you\u2019re in competition, they\u2019re not testing for marijuana anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jon Jones (26-1 MMA) has not competed inside the cage since scoring a unanimous decision victory over Dominick Reyes at UFC 247 this past February. It is expected that the longtime 205lbs champion will make his heavyweight debut in early 2021.<\/p>\n
