The much-awaited UFC 232 has been shifted from Las Vegas from the state of Nevada to Los Angeles, California after a very abnormal finding in his drug test forced the Nevada State Athletic Commission not giving Jon Jones a license to compete for this weekend’s mega fight against Alexander Gustafsson.
The news was first reported by Brett Okamoto of ESPN. According to NSAC, a recent urine sample collected from the American led to an “atypical finding”.
Jone Jones’s urine sample found traces of Turinabol in his system. This is the same drugs he got banned for when he tested positive for it last year after he won his fight against Daniel Cormier at UFC 214. He was later suspended for 15-months.
The positive test has now ignited an ugly social media exchange between both the fighters.

It wasn’t long until Jon Jones got ahold of the tweet and the exchange got further ugly with Jon Jones getting personal about slapping ‘DC’s’ wife on the ‘ass.’
Meanwhile this exchange just happened on Daniel Cormier’s Instagram account after he posted about tonight’s news: pic.twitter.com/VT3luF5G0q

Thanks for the laugh, I needed that night. $150,000 to any charity in Lafayette if he accepts my challenge. Let’s see if his IG stops working again 😩 https://t.co/6LdQW9LfAU

Keep the money, more stringent drug testing and no excuses or mishaps and I’ll give 125,000 to charity in Lafayette and 125,000 to a charity in San Jose. You just pay for the drug testing! #cheater https://t.co/RqtHv1r7Ra

“I could slap your wife on the ass and you could literally do nothing about it. You’re my bitch DC, that will never change… Funny how you’re giving me two posts but said nothing when I asked you to come get your belt back.” – Jon Jones
“You couldn’t do shit you steroid abusing junkie! I swear I would never touch your wife’s flat ass lol. And I didn’t respond I’m not helping you sell ur bum ass fight you drug abusing steroid cheat. F*ck you!” – Daniel Cormier
As the fight day nears, we could expect more trades between the two UFC stars.
