After issuing a written statement on the drug test abnormality that has caused UFC 232 to shift from Las Vegas to Los Angeles at the last minute, Jon Jones took to social media to apologize directly to fans. During an Instagram live on Sunday night, the former UFC light heavyweight champion was clear in saying that he wasn’t to blame for what happened in a situation that “is completely out of my control.” Jones, however, said he still felt for the fans who had made plans to attend the event in Vegas and that he was “sincerely sorry.” “Today has been a hell of a day, a hell of a day,” Jones said.
