Jon Jones has once again made headlines for all the wrong reasons.

It was recently announced that next week’s UFC 232 (Sat. December 29, 2018) pay-per-view (PPV) will be taking place from a new location. Instead of the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, the fight will go down from The Forum in Inglewood, California.

The reason for the move is due to a licensing issue with Jon Jones.

Jones will be facing Alexander Gustafsson in the main event for the light heavyweight title. However, a small trace of a banned substance was found in a recent urine sample from Jones. It turns out, the banned substance was a leftover trace from what got him suspended last year, which remained in his body over the past several months.

In turn, Nevada would be unable to license Jones in time for the fight. Thus, prompting the move to California, which has licensed Jones to compete. The mixed martial arts (MMA) world was not pleased with one fight having to be moved to a different state for one fighter.

Here’s how several MMA personalities reacted to the huge scandal on Twitter:

Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones have picked up right where they left off as they engaged in a brutal war of words on Instagram earlier today.

In case you have been living under a rock today, the “Bones” Jones saga continued in a strange way.

News broke earlier today of Jones having an ‘atypical sample’ collected by USADA on Dec. 9. As a result, the UFC 232 will be moved to The Forum in Inglewood, Ca.

This bizarre and unprecedented situation has garnered much backlash and Jones’ greatest adversary couldn’t resist. Both “DC” and “Bones” continued the beef on Instagram, and the champ had quite the response.

Take a look here:

This is the first time since UFC 12 that the promotion has had to move an entire event. However, in 1997, the UFC was forced to move the PPV from Buffalo, NY to Dothan, Alabama due to legislative restrictions.

UFC 232 is seemingly being moved to accommodate one fighter.
