The MMA world was shaken when it was announced that Jon Jones had failed a USADA test back in July shortly before his UFC light heavyweight title win at UFC 214.

With Jones being one of the biggest names in all of combat sports, it didn't take long before many of Jones' contemporaries would take to social media to react to the news.

Below are just some of the reactions MMA fighters had about Jones' failed test.

Sorry to hear the news @JonnyBones! #CyborgNation remember how I was wrongly portrayed and wait 2c. Hopefully you can clear this up champ!
