In what may be one of the most shocking moments in all of MMA history, UFC Interim Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones has been notified by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) that he has potentially failed a pre-fight drug test and has been pulled from UFC 200. With the potential drug test failure, Jones would be suspended for a mandatory two years, which would mean that he would not be able to fight again until July 2018.

UFC President Dana White has stated that the promotion is looking for somebody to step up on short notice to fight Cormier, current UFC Middleweight Champion Michael Bisping has been campaigning on Twitter to fight Cormier. As of this writing, a heavyweight division attraction between Brock Lesnar and Mark Hunt will now be headlining UFC 200. Jones himself a scheduled a press conference for Thursday morning (7/7) to address the issue, but no matter what he says, the biggest card in UFC history has undergone a major shift just days before the event.
