Ali Abdelaziz Blasts ‘Fake’ USADA For Jon Jones Situation
Ali Abdelaziz blasts USADA in the aftermath of the drama involving Jon Jones and the handling of UFC 232.
The Dominance MMA Management CEO put Jones and UFC officials on notice during a recent interview. This manager has no problems with expressing his feelings on any topic and now that includes USADA.
Dana White has made it known that they had to move UFC 232 from Las Vegas to Inglewood, California due to the NSAC not having time to go over this incident.
