The former champion Jon Jones was in Buffalo, for UFC 210, and gave a press conference after the weigh-in for the event, last Friday (7). Exuding good humor, the American even spoke about the contaminated erectile dysfunction pills he used and which resulted in him failing an anti-doping test just before the historic UFC 200. As a result, he was removed from the event and is serving a one-year suspension , which expires in July.

After admitting the shock of failing in the exam administered by USADA, Jones appears to have recovered from yet another problem outside the Octagon and even recommended the use of Cialis, a sexual pill that he says he uses regularly.
“I've been in the UFC for many, many years, and I've taken sex pills multiple times throughout my adult life. I highly recommend it guys, it's f***ing good. It's incredible”, said Jones, who now guarantees that he is taking the relationship between UFC athletes and USADA more seriously.
“I probably should have taken the rules a lot more seriously and literally tested everything. I just figured it wasn't necessary because it had nothing to do with sports performance. I take USADA very seriously now, I send them everything and let them know where I will be. I have never cheated in this sport. Every bit of success has come from hard work, dedication, focus and determination. I'm not worried about this haunting me forever, because I believe the fans will see what happened in this situation", said the former champion, who after his statements was attacked by Daniel Cormier, his arch-rival.
