LOS ANGELES – Former UFC champion Jon Jones wasn’t interested in discussing the particulars of drug testing with a certain reporter at today’s UFC 232 pre-fight news conference. After taking multiple questions on the subject, Jones (22-1 MMA, 16-1 UFC) seemingly hit his tipping point on the subject and wasted no time berating a reporter who asked him a direct question about a U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) drug test that was the catalyst for UFC 232’s move to California from Nevada. The reporter, Izabelle Kostic from the Swedish MMA website Kimura.se, asked Jones about why he was at the center of another controversy over drug testing after multiple previous issues. Initially, Jones, who meets Alexander Gustafsson (18-4 MMA, 10-4 UFC) for the vacant light heavyweight title in Saturday’s UFC 232 headliner, tried to avoid the subject, picking up the mic to declare “next question” while shooting a smile at UFC President Dana White. Undeterred, Kostic asked a similar question to White.
