Twitter reacts to stunning news of Jon Jones testing positive for steroids in wake of UFC 214

I don't think most people thought Jones had really changed that much. They just thought he'd stop being so damn dumb.

Cormier's camp is as shocked as the rest of this with this Jon Jones news. Coach Javier Mendez: "Why would he cheat again?"

Man, I tell you. Being a fan of this sport is just a damn emotional rollercoaster, ain't it? https://t.co/NmxPTCYmsn

Jones' team, UFC, Cormier all just found out about Jones' failure moments ago. Shocking news.

This Jon Jones news is just unbelievable. Or maybe it isn't. Like the rest of you, I'm trying to process it.

Jon Jones making me think of what De Niro said in "A Bronx Tale" right now: "The saddest thing in life is wasted talent."

The Jones news is truly sad. He just let a furlough period of forgiveness die.

Jon Jones is SUCH a moron. Ban him for life @danawhite. For all that talk of finally "getting it" nope. Disgrace to the @ufc.

If there's one story that could steal any of the headlines away from #MayweatherMcGregor it was a Jon Jones drug test failure. It happened.

Turinabol, the steroid Jon Jones tested positive for per TMZ, is an old school 1960's East German anabolic. Weird choice seemingly for 2017

Jon Jones tests positive for steroids and is stripped of his title!?! Goes back to Cormier? #Disappointed

— Dan Hardy (@danhardymma) August 23, 2017

Daniel Cormier predicted how he'd lose to Jon Jones. And he also predicted that Jones beat him by using steroids the first time. Prophetic

I was 4 and 0 going into that UFC 214 main event. My horse was running good at the time. This news sucks. Gutted for DC.

This Jones news. ?? Spoke with D.C., I'm sure he'll have a statement soon enough. Strange times.

— Kenny Florian (@kennyflorian) August 23, 2017

Jones is about to be stripped of his third UFC belt. Truly a once in a lifetime fighter.
