Daniel Cormier has released a statement on Jon Jones failing another drug test.
On Tuesday, it was announced that Jones had tested positive for a banned substance in a test given to him by the U.S Anti-Doping Agency (USADA).
The UFC has yet to formally strip Jones of the title, but it is expected that we get his title taken away from him once again. Last month, Jones regained the title after knocking out Cormier at UFC 214. Jones’ positive drug test was an in-competition test.
After hearing the news of Jones’ failed drug test, Cormier spoke to MMA Fighting.
“It’s hard to find words to describe how I’m feeling right now,” Cormier said. “I’m disappointed to hear the news. It’s very emotional.
“We as athletes are entitled to due process, and I will refrain from saying much more until I know exactly what happened.
“In my mind, on July 29, I competed and I lost. I thought Jon Jones was the better man that day. I don’t know what to think anymore. I can’t believe we are going through all of this again. We will see what happens next.
“Thank you to all my fans who have supported me during this dark time. I love you all very much.”
