Jon Jones should've been the most-tested in USADA instead of Jiri Prochazka: Daniel Cormier
Daniel Cormier recently questioned why Jon Jones was not tested by USADA as much as Jiri Prochazka. With the latest reports showing 'Denisa' as the most tested athlete this year, many within the MMA community have wondered why and pointed out some of the usual suspects who have been skipped over.
'DC' is one such personality who has raised a dispute over the fact that Jones has only been tested four times this year despite having a history of PED use, compared to the 62 times that Prochazka has been tested.
Speaking to Ben Askren on his YouTube channel, Daniel Cormier discussed the disparity in the number of tests done on the Czech fighter and Jon Jones. The former two-division champion asked:
"One of the reasons with Jon Jones was that he was going to come back but he was going to be one of the most tested guys in USADA... Where are his damn tests? Why is he not the most tested? Why are you testing Jiri Prochazka more than you're testing this guy who has a history of having these type of issues. That makes no sense."

Michael Jai White claims Jon Jones will make easy work of the heavyweight division on his return
Jon Jones last fought in the UFC octagon in February 2020, when he defeated Dominick Reyes via unanimous decision at UFC 247. The former two-time champion has taken time off from active competition since then to prepare for his move up to heavyweight, which could potentially materialize next year.
It is expected that 'Bones' will likely fight Francis Ngannou for the heavyweight title, owing to the former's past achievements. While many have wondered how that matchup will play out, Hollywood actor and martial artist Michael Jai White has claimed that Jones will clear out the heavyweight division with ease.
Recently speaking to VladTV, White was asked for his thoughts on Jones returning to the UFC and he said:
"I think he'll run through that division pretty easily. I mean, his wrestling skillset, I don't know if there's many people in the heavyweight ranks that could match that... He doesn't have to cut weight, he should be pretty d*mn healthy by then. If he wraps somebody up, they've got problems."

While Ngannou has been on the sidelines due to a leg injury and has ongoing contract disputes with the UFC, it remains to be seen if Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou will indeed go head-to-head for the title.
