There may be a glimmer of hope for Jon Jones, who is still awaiting a ruling from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency and Nevada State Athletic Commission over his failed drug test before UFC 200.

UFC president Dana White went on the Jim Rome Show on Tuesday and explained that it now appears as if Jones' positive drug test was not from the substance originally reported.

"Well, it's coming back now that it looks like he did not take the supplement that everybody thought he took," White told Rome. "We'll see how this thing plays out."

The Nevada State Athletic Commission said in July that Jones had tested positive for Hydroxy-clomiphene and Letrozole metabolite, two estrogen blockers that are often used after a steroid cycle. Now, according to White, it seems as though it's something else that caused the positive test, not the supplement people originally thought, which could be good for Jones.

"It's looking like Jon Jones did not take the drug everybody thought he took," said White. "It looks like it's something else. I'll let this thing play out and if that's true and that's what USADA and the Nevada State Athletic Commission say happened, it could look good for Jon Jones."

White's statements come on the heels of an Instagram post where Jones said he had received some "really good news" and expects "to be back in the Octagon soon."

We will still have to wait for official word from USADA and the NSAC on the matter, but from what White and Jones have hinted at in their recent statements, the light heavyweight star might be able to avoid the two-year suspension that many anticipated he would face after being pulled off of the UFC 200 card.
