Add former opponent Ovince Saint Preux to the growing list of people that want answers from Jon Jones.

In light of the recent news that Jones was taking post-cycle therapy drugs ahead of UFC 200, Saint Preux is asking him to come forward and come clean with anything he was on before the two fought.

Jones won that fight via decision, setting him up for the UFC 200 bout vs. Daniel Cormier that was canceled.

Here’s what OSP had to say on his official Facebook page:

On June 18th, Jon Jones was caught taking Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) drugs. This means he was on some form of Performance Enhancing Drugs (PEDS) before this date. The only real questions are: When did he start taking them? Was it before his fight with me or after?
There are not many people who can answer this question, but Jon Jones is one of them. So, I am asking: When did you start taking PEDS Jon? I wanted to fight the best fighter in the world, but I did not sign up to fight a cheater. So, be a stand-up person, tell us all the truth.
We all know you were on PEDS because you got caught taking PCT drugs. Just tell the world the truth.

In a move likely to clean up the roster and free some money for free agents like Rory MacDonald, Bellator MMA has parted ways with seven fighters, including former title challenger Dave Jansen.

According to a report by MMAjunkie, Jansen, Mike Richman, Mikkel Parlo, Raphael Butler, Houston Alexander, Isao Kobayashi and Thiago Goncalves Jambo have all been released.

Jansen (20-4) fought for the Bellator title against then-champion Will Brooks, suffering his first loss in seven fights at that time. He also was bested by top contender Marcin Held after the Brooks loss.

Richman is currently serving a two-year suspension after failing a drug test, while Jambo announced his retirement recently after dropping his promotional debut.

Alexander is a former UFC fighter who has gone 16-14-1 over his career, but just 1-3-1 with Bellator. Parlo and Butler each won four of their bouts with Bellator.
