Jon Jones: “I would never cheat”

In the wake of Jon Jones being pulled from UFC 200 Wednesday night after being informed of a potential USADA anti-doping violation stemming from an out-of-competition drug test back in June, Jones and his team appeared at a press conference on Thursday.

During the course of the presser, a visibly emotional Jones explained that he didn’t even know how to pronounce the substance he tested positive for.

The pound for pound kingpin went on to explain that he would never knowingly take a performance enhancing drug:

Jones: "I would never take anything that would enhance my game. I would never cheat, that's not who I am"
