Stunning news came down Tuesday, as reports trickled out that UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones tested positive for cocaine metabolites in a Dec. 4, 2014 random drug test taken ahead of his successful UFC 182 title defense against Daniel Cormier. Jones subsequently announced that he would be entering himself into a drug treatment facility.
