I am a fan of combat sports mainly MMA, Muay Thai and Boxing, i have not been keeping up with the latest news and just now thought i would have a look at what has been occurring in the realm of MMA and to my shock i discovered that Jon Jones the 2 time light-heavyweight UFC champion has tested positive for steroids AGAIN.
Jon Jones recently returned from a one year suspension after testing positive for a banned substance which he claimed was due to tainted "dick pills". He returned and impressively won his bout against Daniel Cormier to win back his championship belt, i can only imagine how this news must make Daniel Cormier feel right now.
So as of right now Jon Jones has been stripped of his title and is no longer the UFC light-heavyweight champion with Daniel Cormier being reinstated as the champion, the UFC released a statement which you can see here, it can be easy to miss news like this with everyone so focused on the Mayweather vs McGregor bout due to take place this weekend on the 26th August, as bad as this is for Jon Jones' career it does however generate a lot of interest from fans on the future of the light-heavyweight division.
Share your thoughts on this debacle below i am interested to hear peoples thoughts on this.
