Corey Anderson details UFC favoritism: They’re letting Jon Jones dictate it all

Because of Jon Jones’ drug test mishaps in previous years, the UFC was forced to move UFC 232 from Nevada to California in a week’s time. Many see this as the company giving special treatment to “Bones”, but according to those who were greatly affected like 205-pound contender Corey Anderson, the favoritism was something else.

During his appearance on a recent episode of the JRE MMA Show, Anderson recounted several incidents during fight week that blatantly showed how Jones was receiving special treatment. One of them was the messed up flight arrangements to California, which nearly led to his wife not being able to come along, while struggling to go about things because she was eight months pregnant at the time.
