Tuesday afternoon UFC President Dana White shocked the MMA community as he gave a major update in regards to Jon Jones’ failed drug test case with the US Anti-Doping Agency. Jones, who was pulled from UFC 200 for a failed out-of-competition drug test, actually “did not take the drug everybody thought he took” according to Dana White. This comes several weeks after it was revealed that USADA was looking into the possibility that a supplement Jones had taken was contaminated with a banned substance not listed on the package.

Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier have been scheduled to fight 4 times now. Despite that, the pair have only actually ended up fighting once. When they met inside the Octagon, Jones won the fight in convincing fashion, defeating Cormier via unanimous decision. In the wake of their cancelled UFC 200 bout, Cormier knows he needs a break from Jones. The way the champ tells it, their rivalry has made him an “ugly” person.

Daniel Cormier had a rough time with everything UFC 200.
