Jon Jones Offers Thanks To UFC, California Athletic Commission

While many are upset by the decision to move UFC 232 from Las Vegas to Los Angeles on a few days notice, former light heavyweight champion Jon Jones isn’t one of them.

Jones, who is the reason for the venue change, offered his thanks to the promotion and the California Athletic Commission for keeping his scheduled fight this Saturday with Alexander Gustafsson on track.

An abnormal drug test result conducted by the USADA forced the move, as the Nevada Athletic Commission would not grant Jones his license.
