When UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones tested positive for cocaine, many were surprised. Joe Rogan was one of many who were shocked, and his reaction was caught on video.
UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones is one of the highest profile athletes to test positive for cocaine in recent memory, so it was a shock — especially in the mixed martial arts community — to see his positive pre-fight test for benzoylecgonine, a main metabolite in cocaine, come to light.
UFC commentator Joe Rogan was among those who were surprised to learn the news, and he had his reaction captured on video during an episode of the “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast, with special guest Nick DiPaolo.
After learning that cocain metabolites are generally out of your system in a few days, the crew went to Jon Jones’ Twitter account to see if they could find a culprit. It didn’t take long for Brazil to get the blame.
Bye Brazil thank you so much for the great time.. Now back to Boot Camp #ABQ

You can watch the hilarious reaction in the video above.
As the news became public knowledge, Jones checked himself in to a rehab facility.
The internet had some fun at Jones’ expense with some entertaining memes, while others like the UFC and president Dana White issued statements supporting the champion.
