Interim titles are a joke, so Jon Jones shouldn’t be too upset with the following news – he’s been stripped of his interim UFC Light Heavyweight Title by the UFC.

This, of course, is due to Jones being officially banned for one year by the USADA for a failed drug test, stemming from “dick pills” Jones took leading up to UFC 200.  Maybe even more hurtful than losing his fake title, however, is the scathing comments Dana White laid down on the disgraced UFC legend.

“Jon Jones has blown it in every way shape and form a guy with that much talent can blow it,” White told ESPN.  “Greatest talent ever and the biggest screw-up ever.”

Harsher and truer words have never been spoken.
