Jon Jones is denying that he intentionally took steroids.
At UFC 214, Jones took on Daniel Cormier for the light heavyweight title. “Bones” earned the win via third-round knockout and initially recaptured the 205-pound gold. Shortly after, it was revealed that Jones failed his drug test for turinabol.
Once his “B” sample produced the same result, Jones’ win was overturned to a no-contest. The UFC then stripped “Bones” of the title and gave it back to Cormier.
On his Twitter account, the once pound-for-pound king denied his steroid use:
“Dude the truth is I would never do steroids, I put that on my children and I put that on my Heavenly Father.”
