UFC Fighters React To Jon Jones’ Cocaine Positive

By BJPENN.COM News January 6, 2015 at 4:30 PM PST 0 Comments

Earlier today the world learned of an unfortunate positive drug test in our sport.

UFC light-heavyweight champion, and pound-for-pound king of Mixed Martial Arts Jon “Bones” Jones was randomly tested by the Nevada State Athletic Commission exactly one-month prior to last weekend’s UFC 182 main event.

The result? Cocaine.

Now the world of MMA, and Jon’s fighting peers react to the news:

@ufc @danawhite you dumb bitches fire me for weed while you allow fighters to use hard drugs with zero consequences. #ufcistrash

I'll make fun of people who take steroids but I feel bad when I find out someone has a coke problem. Hope JBJ gets help.

So cocaine ISN'T banned out of competition? Seems pretty fucked to me.
