Jones failed an out-of-competition drug test, and now Brock Lesnar vs. Mark Hunt is the new main event.

Jones can appeal but that will take longer than the 72 hours before UFC 200 takes place.



You know shit got fucked up when a UFC fighter is trending worldwide on a Wednesday.

UFC 200 marks the 22nd main or co-main event change to the UFC calendar so far in 2016.

UFC statement ...



The UFC organization was notified tonight that the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has informed Jon Jones of a potential Anti-Doping Policy violation stemming from an out-of-competition sample collection on June 16, 2016.

USADA, the independent administrator of the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, will handle the results management and appropriate adjudication of this case. It is important to note that, under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, there is a full fair legal review process that is afforded to all athletes before any sanctions are imposed.

However, because Jones was scheduled to compete against Daniel Cormier this coming Saturday, July 9 in Las Vegas, there is insufficient time for a full review before the scheduled bout and therefore the fight has been removed from the fight card. As a result, the three-round heavyweight bout between Brock Lesnar and Mark Hunt will become the UFC 200 main event.

Consistent with all previous potential anti-doping violations, additional information or UFC statements will be provided at the appropriate time as the process moves forward.


Ticket refunds available upon request at primary point of purchase.

Jones has been a scam since he came into to the UFC, been saying it for years. He has height and weight against smaller guys...HW is where he belongs, but would get hurt badly
