LAS VEGAS – UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones expects he’ll be “vindicated” after a series of additional drug tests ordered Tuesday by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. “That’s a lot of needles, but I have no problem being in this position, Jones (23-1 MMA, 17-1 UFC) said at a press conference Thursday for his title fight with Anthony Smith (31-13 MMA, 7-3 UFC), which headlines UFC 235 on March 2 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Jones, 31, added “we’ll all be educated” about the oral turinabol metabolite that resulted in a 15-month suspension and have continued to show up at the picogram level in tests for more than one year. “I think me opening myself to being tested by three different agencies, it shows I have nothing to hide,” he said. The champ was granted a conditional, one-fight license by the NSAC after agreeing to a litany of additional drug tests. The commission will conduct them up until the March 2 event, and then it will be assisted by the U.S
