Daniel Cormier: Jon Jones Failed Drug Test at UFC 200 Because He Didn’t Like How He Felt Clean

Daniel Cormier is expecting a different, slightly diminished version of the Jon Jones he lost to more than two years ago when the light heavyweights square off in their rematch at UFC 214.

After watching Jones take a five-round verdict over Ovince St. Preux at UFC 197, the reigning 205-pound champ believes “Bones” took measures to improve his performance heading into their scheduled rematch at UFC 200. However, Jones tested positive for the banned estrogen blockers clomiphene and letrozole during an out-of-competition drug screen administered by the United States Anti-Doping Agency.
