UFC may lose $5 million for transfer of the tournament from Las Vegas to California

UFC may lose profits of about $5 million due to the transfer of the UFC 232 tournament to Inglewood, California from Las Vegas, Nevada after a failed doping test by Jon Jones. This is reported by the head of the organization, Dana White.

The doping test of Jones was positive for turinabol, for the use of which in 2017 he received a 15-month suspension. The Nevada State Athletic Commission did not grant him permission to conduct a fight in Las Vegas. UFC management decided to transfer the tournament, which is scheduled for December 29, to Inglewood. Earlier in December, the California State Athletic Commission granted Jones with the temporary right to perform in the state.
