The UFC has stripped Jon Jones of a light heavyweight title for the second time
in two years.
Lee Roy Selmon Youth Jersey .Jones, 29, is no
longer the interim 205-pound champion, according to UFC president Dana White.
The title was created in April, when Jones defeated?Ovince St. Preux?at UFC 197.
The fight was originally supposed to be against Daniel Cormier for the official
title, but Cormier withdrew with an injury.Whites decision to strip Jones comes
one day after the United States Anti-Doping Agency announced it had suspended
Jones for one year because of a failed drug test in June.It doesnt make sense,
White told ESPNs 5ive Rounds podcast. 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 doesnt make sense with all the
stuff that is going on for him to still be the interim champion.In 2015, the UFC
stripped Jones (22-1) of the official title after he was arrested on a
hit-and-run charge. He is the first athlete to ever be stripped of a UFC title
for disciplinary reasons, as well as the only champion to ever be stripped
twice. He is also the youngest champion in UFC history.Jones was supposed to
fight Cormier at UFC 200 on July 9, but was removed from the event three days
prior after testing positive for two banned substances.He immediately denied all
wrongdoing in the failed test and later said it was the result of a contaminated
sexual enhancement pill he received from a friend. During a recent arbitration
hearing on the case, a panel found Jones explanation plausible but still
suspended him for one year for his lack of caution in what he was taking.Jon
Jones has blown it in every way, shape and form a guy with that much talent can
blow it, White said. Greatest talent ever and the biggest screw-up ever.Jones is
widely considered the greatest pound-for-pound fighter of all time but has been
limited to just two appearances in the past two years because of issues outside
of the cage.Since his hit-and-run incident in April 2015, Jones has said
multiple times he has made significant lifestyle changes, including sobriety.
When he won the interim title earlier this year, he downplayed the significance
of the interim belt, saying the official title was his goal.Theres no real
satisfaction, said Jones, immediately after the interim title win. Theres no
real touchdown moment. Me, my coaches and my teammates are right back to the
drawing board. Were still on a mission. This [interim title] is a kind of
made-up, kind of fake.

(over/under: 52)Coughlin:?If there were a prop to have the final score land
right on the point spread, this game feels like the time to do that. Im usually
a fan of Utah whenever the Utes are at home, and especially when they are an
underdog. But there is something about this Utah team and this matchup that
makes me hesitate to lean toward them. ' ' '
