It seems as if Jones has forgotten how to quietly go about the fighting buisness. In an extraordinary series of events Jon Jones’ sample showed ‘atypical’ results and consequently Nevada State Athletic Commission has denied him from fighting this Saturday in UFC 232 at Las Vegas.
Per a statement from the commission, after analysis of 18 months of Jones drug-test results, the NSAC has determined that Jones will have to come before the commission for a hearing in January. Furthermore the UFC has shifted the event from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas to Inglewood California.
Amidst the changes that fighters on the card have had to make plus the difficulties that the fans have to be face, Jon Jones has released his first statement on everything that has transpired.
I’m focused on achieving my ultimate goal of reclaiming my Light Heavyweight title. I have willingly submitted to every USADA test in the lead up to this fight and USADA has confirmed what I've been saying all along, that I'm a clean athlete. I sincerely thank the California

State Athletic Commission and Andy Foster for doing the right thing and supporting me through this process. I cannot wait to fight Alex Gustafsson this Saturday December 29th at the Los Angeles Forum in Inglewood.
