Dana White supposedly recommended that Jones' arrival could arrive in an interval title battle against Anthony Johnson, rather than the accepted rematch amongst Cormier and Johnson.
Cormier impacted the idea of Jones battling for a between time title while he was still champion and said to kindred Fox Sports observer Brian Stann on SiriusXM Rush:
"Presently one thing I totally can't help contradicting, totally – and I couldn't care less who hears it – why in the damnation would Jon still be the between time champion? That has neither rhyme nor reason. I don't know why he would even now be the between time champion. His can was precluded. Take that freakin' belt off of him. That is idiotic.
"I plan to God Dana misspoke, in light of the fact that that has neither rhyme nor reason. In the event that they battle, they battle to decide the main contender, it's not some between time title battle. That has neither rhyme nor reason. You'd have an interval champion shielding the between time title while the genuine champion is entirely there. That has neither rhyme nor reason."
Jones should battle Cormier in the headliner of UFC 200 however was pulled from the card days before the occasion due to a fizzled USADA test in the wake of testing positive for hydroxy-clomiphene, a hostile to estrogenic specialist, and a Letrozole metabolite, an aromatase inhibitor.
Jones was at first anticipated that would get a two-year boycott however both he and White are certain of a much shorter sentence that could see the previous light heavyweight champion battle in the coming months."I've been benefiting truly; been preparing, investing energy with family, assaulting some of these legitimate issues that I've gotten myself into, attempting truly to simply abandon that all for the last time," Jones said in an Instagram post a month ago.
"I'm certain you all are interested about what's happening with this USADA circumstance. Clearly I can't get into it since it's as yet pending, however what I can say is that we have discovered bunches of decent news and I am hoping to be back in the Octagon truly soon."
White appeared to support Jones' announcement on the UFC Unfiltered podcast when he said:
"You know the person has 13 lives, man. It's solid for him. I believe he must manage Nevada and this thing that went down – and once more, I can't say a considerable measure in regards to it – in light of the fact that it's not my place, but rather we'll perceive how this thing plays out. Be that as it may, it's solid for him."
Jones' listening ability with the Nevada State Athletic Commission is relied upon to happen at some point in September or October.
