Świat MMA mocno zareagował na przeniesienie gali UFC 232 z Newady do Kalifornii oraz na bezpośrednią przyczynę tego wydarzenia, czyli wyniki testów Jona Jonesa na obecność niedozwolonej substancji.

Były oponent Jonesa, Daniel Cormier oraz wielu innych przedstawicieli branży MMA z całego świata, niemal natychmiast skomentowali to zdarzenie w mediach społecznościowych:
He tested positive again!

Alexander Gustafsson, who is scheduled to fight Jon Jones in 6 days, has been in Las Vegas for a week and, according to sources, is on a four-hour helicopter ride right now around the Grand Canyon. If he doesn’t have cell reception there is a very good chance he doesn’t know.

This whole #UFC232 fiasco is insane!

Thousands of fans are traveling to Vegas for UFC 232 and they just MOVED it to LA just so Jon can get licenced to fight!!??? Am I reading this right?

Doc Novitzky is legit and as smart as a person can be. His comments and statement should not be ignored. But DAMN

Or maybe a fighter on the card that had to find out through the internet… https://t.co/qNmwMdFSlN

And just like that, I’m told I’m no longer attending UFC 232 by my work. No way to make it work this late. Nuts.

I wonder who he’ll narc on this time to sweep this test under the rug? :) #UFC232 https://t.co/IAkQCPcYu5

Hej hejterzy KSW powiedzcie coś jeszcze o rodzinym „cyrku” KSW wobec tego co robi UFC przenosząc gale do Los Angeles, gdzie Jones może walczyć, bo komisja w kieszeni Dany nie widzi problemu z dopingiem. Szkoda w tym wszystkiem @AlexTheMauler i … tak tak @JanBlachowicz 😎

Jon Jones jest równie wybitnym zawodnikiem co głupkiem😂 https://t.co/ooUdPkXjDP

I can’t imagine moving this entire event. All the flights, hotel rooms, fans, media that have already been arranged….crazy https://t.co/c39JLnfY42
— Sarah Kaufman (@mmasarah) 24 grudnia 2018
Remember that time Dana said @jonjones would never main event again…. um yeah
— Ben Askren (@Benaskren) 24 grudnia 2018
This idea that the steroid metabolite can be in Jones’ system nearly 18 months later…is there any scientific literature on this possibility? I can’t find any. Isn’t microdosing also a possible cause? I’d like to see UFC & USADA name the “experts” they’re citing.

I’m actually with family sitting down to early Christmas dinner and gift opening like right now. So, stupendous timing. https://t.co/x32G9r5cj5

The moving of #UFC232 from Vegas to LA must’ve been a crazy difficult decision for @ufc as well as insanely expensive. NSAC won’t license Jon Jones because of a minuscule amount from a previous ingestion. I want to see things done the right way but candidly, this is ridiculous.
— Kenny Florian (@kennyflorian) 24 grudnia 2018
#UFC232 logistics still being arranged at this time, but it seems all athletes and corners will come to Vegas first, then promotion will get everyone transported to LA. Chartered airplane being discussed, UFC 12 style.

How the fuck has Jones tested positive again ?? We need answers ASAP !!
— JIMI MANUWA (@POSTERBOYJM) 24 grudnia 2018
Honestly you can’t do this. These fighters have booked flights…fans have booked flights, have booked hotels to stay in VEGAS…..You just could make Cyborg vs. Nunes the Main Event. Also It’s super busy during the holidays. „Well done” UFC. #RespectTheFightersAndFans

Can I have some of Jon Jones purse though as reimbursement to the family that I have flying down to Vegas and the hotels booked ? @ufc
