Regarding the doping incident, Cormier said he suspected that the enemy failed on purpose. The champion's logic is that Jon Jones he had been fighting with the help of doping throughout his career and, when he returned from a UFC suspension to face Ovince St Preux, USADA had reached an agreement with Ultimate, toughening anti-doping tests. Thus, Jones would have fought “clean” for the first time, did not like his performance and ended up using illegal substances again.
"You heard Alexander Gustafson say that Jon Jones probably used something illegal in the fight between them. We've never had an organization like USADA before, so he'll have to fight fair against me if he doesn't get caught. I think he fought Ovince St Preux clean and didn't like how he felt in there. I think he tried to do something dirty and ended up getting caught for doping at UFC 200”, commented DC, on the North American program “The MMA Hour”, highlighting that Jones must still be very tough to face.
“I think he will still be very difficult, of course. He has many skills, he is fast, and he has a lot of reach, in short, he has many physical advantages, which most of us don't have. I think he will be hesitant, not so bold or aggressive in certain places”, declared the champion.
