Whether or not Jon Jones has been using steroids heading into UFC 232 seems to be of no concern to Alexander Gustafsson.

On Sunday, it was revealed that a drug test administered by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency on Dec. 9 turned up with a trace amount of turinabol, which USADA believes to be from a “pulsing” effect and not a new ingestion of the same substance he tested positive for after a win over Daniel Cormier in July 2017. Even though Jones is not in violation of the USADA program, the uncertainty led the Nevada State Athletic Commission to not license him in time for Saturday’s UFC 232 pay-per-view event.

As a result, the UFC has moved the entire card from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas to The Forum in Inglewood, Calif., where Jones is eligible to compete and will face Gustafsson as scheduled.

In his first tweet on the situation, Gustafsson made it clear that he still intends on finishing Jones whether he’s clean or dirty. That got a response from Jones, calling back to their first fight in 2013 won by the then-UFC light heavyweight champion (via Twitter).

Bro I took your best punches that first fight, at no point was I phased or dazed by any of them, you were seconds from being TKO’d in the fourth round. You’re delusional #AndStill

Gustafsson, in turn, fired back with a cheap shot referencing Jones’ history of failed drug tests, as well as his continued insistence on earning redemption with a win Saturday night (via Twitter).

U r a damn clown!!! Of course we all know u r used to taking shots nothing new bro!!
The only ones u r blessed by is @danawhite and Jeff.
Ur luck runs out Saturday night!

Jones, who also has enrolled in the Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency’s program as a requirement for his California license after initially declining, is set to go before the Nevada commission in January.
