Jones stripped of title belt after drug ban

Mixed martial arts star Jon Jones, suspended for a year after testing positive for a banned drug, has been stripped of the Ultimate Fighting Championship light heavyweight interim title, UFC president Dana White said on Wednesday.

White told an ESPN podcast that Jones "has blown it in every way, shape and form a guy with that much talent can blow it."

"He's the greatest talent ever and the biggest screw-up ever," White said of the 29-year-old, who was handed a one-year ban after taking a sexual-performance pill tainted with a banned substance.
