Many felt it was a huge step on the comeback trail for Jones, but it was later revealed that he failed a drug test.
White said he was disappointed in Jones - since the guy is so insanely gifted, he doesn't need banned substances to dominate in the UFC.
Needless to say, the reaction from the sports world was a mixture of shock, humor, and overall disgust, as Jones, arguably the greatest talent the UFC has ever had, is all but finished in mixed martial arts.
Last month at UFC 214, Jones took on Daniel Cormier for the light heavyweight title.
The United States Anti-Doping Agency banned Jones for a year after he tested positive for clomiphene and letrozole.
As of Thursday, Jones has not been stripped of the title, but if the tests prove accurate the UFC may have no choice but to dethrone the champion for the second time. "So to talk about his legacy, it's probably the end of his career".
Johnson, who was meant to face Jones back at UFC 187, both condemns the champion calling him a cheater and praises him as a smart fighter. By the time he returns, he'd have to rebuild his trust with White, who said last November Jones was never going to headline another UFC pay-per-view.
