The UFC has stripped former light heavyweight champion Jon Jones of his title following his year-long suspension by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), according to Brett Okamoto of ESPN.com.
“It doesn’t make sense,” UFC President Dana White told ESPN’s 5ive Rounds podcast, per Okamoto. “He was the interim champion because he should have been fighting for the title [in April]. We gave him this, ‘You were supposed to fight for the title, here it is.’ It doesn’t make sense with all the stuff that is going on for him to still be the interim champion.”
