Mark Hunt: Last-minute UFC 232 move promotes cheaters, steroids

Mark Hunt believes the UFC relocated its final pay-per-view show of 2018 to promote “cheaters” and for money.

On Sunday, it was announced that UFC 232 had been moved to Los Angeles from Las Vegas due to an abnormal finding in a Jon Jones drug test. Jones tested positive for a trace amount of turinabol, the steroid metabolite he also tested positive for in August 2017 after his rematch with Daniel Cormier. Jones served a 15-month suspension for that positive test, which ended in October.

USADA, the UFC’s anti-doping partner, determined that the most recent positive test was a result of last year’s ingestion, and that Jones had not ingested the drug a second time.
