“When you have the biggest, baddest fight card ever assembled, it doesn’t sting as bad when you lose a fight”, White said.

Jones said while he took a few new products during training for the fight, they weren’t to enhance performance.
The United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), informed “Bones” and the UFC that a positive sample was returned during a June 16 out-of-competition drug test.
“The whole situation really sucks”, Jones said.
“Whatever it is, I can’t even pronounce it”.
Jones has opted to have his B sample tested and categorically denies any deliberate wrong-doing. Jones’ manager hopes that the results could be available as early as Thursday evening but he acknowledged that the results could be very slim.
Jon Jones proclaimed his innocence in using an illegal substance on Thursday and choked up while talking about how being cut from UFC 200 has impacted him.
“If I do have to sit out two years, I will definitely be back”. It was Silva’s first fight since being suspended for testing positive for banned substances both before and after his fight with Nick Diaz in January 2015. “I think people who are fans of mine know that I’m a fighter, and that adversity is not something that defeats me and I am hard to be broken”. I’m optimistic. But man, at the end of the day, I’m a fighter. Even though I seem broken-up up here, I’m not broken. “I’m really sorry about this happening”.
“Bisping just won the 185-pound title”, he said. Jones was scheduled to fight Daniel Cormier at UFC 200 but was pulled from the event because of a potential.
It’s about to be a “No Pants Party” in the UFC if a Globo report regarding Daniel Cormier’s new opponent at UFC 200 proves to be true.
“So I wish Jon well, I wish everyone backstage well, I know they’re running around like headless chickens trying to get everything together”.
Jones is widely considered the world’s top pound-for-pound mixed martial artist, but he has endured numerous troubles of his own making in recent years. My attitude is to figure out what good could come from this. If the positive test is confirmed, blame Jones for that, either through ignorance, ineptitude or by willing flouting of the rules, he will have let down himself and his sport.

It’s the third out of four times Jones and Cormier had been slated to match up where the event had fallen though.
