UFC won't fine Lesnar, Jones for failed drug tests

UFC senior vice president of public relations Dave Sholler says the promotion won't fine Brock Lesnar and Jon Jones for their failed drug tests, according to MMA Fighting's Marc Raimondi.

Both fighters can still be fined by the state athletic commission, and will face sanctions from the USADA, after reportedly both testing positive for the estrogen-blocking substance clomiphene.

Lesnar's UFC 200 competitor, Mark Hunt, threatened to leave the promotion if he wasn't awarded at least half of his opponent's $2.5-million purse. If the Nevada Athletic Commission does sanction Lesnar, their bout would be deemed a no-contest, but Hunt likely wouldn't receive any of the prize money.

Jones was informed of his positive test just days before his scheduled title fight with Daniel Cormier at UFC 200.

Lesnar produced positive drug samples at both in-competition and out-of-competition tests.
