It was recently revealed that Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) light heavyweight champion Jon “Bones” Jones has been flagged for an anti-doping policy violation. Now, UFC fighters have taken to social media to reveal their thoughts on the situation.
Jon “Bones” Jones was suspended for an anti-doping policy violation just before UFC 200, with the fighter making a return to the octagon at UFC 214. The fighter earned a title winning, knockout victory over Daniel Cormier in the night’s main event.
However, the future of the fighter’s championship is still unclear. Here is what many of the UFC’s competitors had to say about the incident.
I hope @JacksonWinkMMA is done throwing rocks my way. #ufc219 #CyborgVHolm @ufc @danawhite @seanshelby @Mickmaynard2 let's announce this!

Jon Jones has now ruined the legacy of two of all-time great LHW fighters in @UFC/history. His own (obviously) and D.C.'s (*) #UFC
