Jon Jones Previously Failed Multiple Drug Tests
In 2017, Jones defeated Daniel Cormier at UFC 214 to retain the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship. However, the result was later deemed a no contest after Jones tested positive for showing trace amounts of turinabol in his system. Jones was suspended for the next 15 months and stripped of the title.
Jones also tested positive for estrogen blockers clomiphene and letrozole ahead of UFC 200. Jones was also stripped of the title and suspended for one year.
Jones maintained his innocence throughout both suspensions. The 35-year-old believes his no-contest should be overturned because he claims his previous test results are no longer valid under the new anti-doping rules.
