It was the day before christmas eve, as the UFC announced that a bout between Jon Jones and Alexander Gustafsson moved to Los Angeles.
the Reason: Jon Jones had once again tested positive for the anabolic steroid turinabol. The same compound he went there after the title match against Daniel Cormier in July 2017.
it was, however, ”residue limits” which, according to the american antidopningsorganisationen USADA is not considered to improve Jones ‘ performance.
But the problem was there anyway because Nevada antidopningsorganisation did not have time to investigate it all. The solution was to move the match to Los Angeles instead when the ceo of the California antidopningsorganisation was seated in the case then in the past.

And on Thursday, it was time for the press conference in LA, and you can guess what almost all the questions were about…
Jon Jones is a cheater. He must consume things in order to build up his confidence, ” says Alexander Gustafsson.
to go into the details:
” do you Think that a microscopic picogram has given me a better self-esteem? Do you really think that I won against the 22 tough opponent thanks to a little picograms?
Gustafsson
” What he says is bullshit, he is awful. You can’t take anything he says seriously anymore and he will get to eat up everything on Saturday.
then asked the most relevant question, how is it that we, for the third time sitting down and talking about the Jones doping instead of the upcoming game burst it for Jon Jones:
– the Next question thank you. Better journalism, you suck.
Gustafsson had a little more detailed answer.
– It is bad for the sport and it is bad for the organization, but it doesn’t really matter for me, I’m just glad that match finally happens. I have never been this ready and it doesn’t matter if he runs on rocket fuel, I’ll win anyway.
Jones:
– You just say the same things in every interview. The same dry crap every time. Just keep your mouth shut. You said, despite everything the same things before you got knocked out before all the your home country…
