UFC exec Jeff Novitzky sets record straight on Jon Jones comments

Jeff Novitzky did an interview on UFC announcer Bruce Buffer’s podcast last week and one of the topics of discussion was Jon Jones and his doping case with USADA.

A few MMA websites aggregated Novitzky’s quotes from that conversation and used some rather, well, interesting headlines for their pieces. One suggested Novitzky said Jones was likely innocent, another quoted Novitzky as saying Jones might not get any suspension at all. And another referred to Novitzky as the head of USADA.

Novitzky, of course, does not work for USADA. He’s the UFC’s vice president of athlete health and performance.
