UFC President Dana White is ready to put Jon Jones back in the octagon, though it won’t be this year. In a prepared statement to ESPN.com’s Brett Okamoto , White agreed with an independent arbitrator’s opinion that Jones (21-1 MMA, 16-1 UFC) didn’t knowingly cheat and pinned his positive test on a contaminated supplement. White added: “The science completely supports that finding. The science doesn’t lie, so I look forward to getting him back early next year.” Related Daniel Cormier dismisses Jon Jones trilogy, tells USADA not to visit anymore In a follow-up text message to MMAjunkie, White ruled out the possibility of Jones fighting at UFC 230, which takes place just five days after the former light heavyweight champion becomes eligible to fight again.
