Jon Jones no longer cares if fans think he is a clean fighter and he stopped caring about that pesky ‘asterisk’ too.

Jones will rematch Alexander Gustafsson in the main event of this weekends (Dec. 29, 2018) UFC 232. Unfortunately, its another “Bones” Jones fight week spent talking about a failed drug test.

A Dec. 9 drug test administered by the United States Anti Doping Agency (USADA) yielded an “atypical” finding in Jones’ sample. The test revealed a trace amount of turinabol – the same substance found in his system in 2017.

Due to the situation the Nevada State Athletic Commision could not grant Jones a license to compete. However, the California State Athletic Commison did, and thats why UFC 232 will now be at the Forum in Inglewood, Ca.

Jones has maintained his innocence from day one but fans have seemingly gone tired of the excuses. Regardless “Bones” Jones steadfastly declared his innocence at the UFC 232 pre-fight press conference and it appears he stopped caring about some other things as well.
(via MMAFighting.com’s Twitter account):

“I was afraid of an asterisk next to my career when I was uneducated. As I’m learning what this really is, I’m mad that it was even mentioned. I mean it’s invisible. You can’t take a picogram. … I know what I’ve done. After beating Gustafsson, I’ll be right be on track as being one of the all-time greats. I believe that in my heart no matter who believes in me or not.”

Do you think Jon Jones should have an asterisk by his name in the record books?

The juggernaut that is UFC 232 keeps on rolling. Not even moving the entire event on six days notice could slow ticket sales.

Perhaps all the “negative” publicity worked in the promotions favor. According to Dana White UFC 232 sold over 10,000 tickets in just four hours the day after Christmas.

“We sold over 10k tickets in 4 hours the day after Christmas!! Over 12k sold and this event will be a complete sell-out with over 14k in attendance on Saturday. THANK U LA!!!!”

The Forum in Inglewood, Ca seats roughly 17,000. Its unknown how many fans who purchased tickets to the original venue in Las Vegas will make the trek to Inglewood rather than opt for a refund.

“Tickets will go on sale Wednesday,” White previously told ESPN. “People who bought tickets here in Las Vegas can get a full refund and we’ll figure out how to get you seated in L.A. if you’re interested in moving to L.A. to watch the fight.”

The show must go on as the greatest promoter to ever live once said. Above all else, the UFC has a business to run. By no means do agree with their actions but I do, in principle, understand them.

The true messure of this weekend will be how we look back on the crazy fight week that was and is UFC 232.
