Filed under: News , UFC , Videos EDMONTON – Despite Jon Jones ’ lengthy history of mishaps, Ilir Latifi is not rushing to condemn the UFC light heavyweight champion after his latest incident involving a failed drug test. Latifi (12-5 MMA, 5-3 UFC), who fights Tyson Pedro (6-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) on Saturday’s UFC 215 main card following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, said he’s going to hold off making any bold proclamations about Jones (23-1 MMA, 17-1 UFC) following his positive UFC 214 drug test .

He said there are a number of worthwhile athletes in the weight class, and that’s not going to change regardless of whether Jones is active or suspended
