Former Champ Jon Jones ‘Very Angry’ About Vitor Belfort Drug Test Scandal
In a recent report it was revealed that three weeks prior to UFC 152, an email containing Vitor Belfort’s drug test results, which showed extremely high levels of testosterone, was emailed out from the UFC to several manager and fighters, on accident.
The UFC then quickly worked to retract the email, telling recipients to ignore it and to delete is ASAP.
