Jon Jones is known for being a heel, but the 31-year-old may have gone too far Thursday. During a UFC 232 news conference, Jones told a reporter she sucked after she asked about his positive steroid test.

The reporter first asked Jones about his positive test. After he declined to answer the question, she compared Jones to Frank Mir in a question directed at Dana White. Jones objected to that question, asking people in attendance to boo the reporter before telling her she sucked.

Mir was suspended by the USADA for two years following a positive test. Jones previously served a 15-month suspension for doping.

On Dec. 9, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency determined Jones had produced a test that showed a small amount of a banned substance. After examining the test, USADA determined Jones test showed “residual amounts” of the substance, meaning Jones’ unusual test result was not due to new usage of the substance.

USADA did not consider that test a new positive, but the Nevada Athletic Commission refused to license Jones for a fight. Because of that, UFC 232 had to be moved to California.

Jones’ treatment of the reporter did not sit well with others at the presser.

Helwani later found the journalist, who is from Sweden.

Jones’ UFC 232 opponent, Alexander Gustafsson, did not shy away from talking about Jones’ positive tests.

Gustafsson told Jones he puts “s— in his body,” and added that everything Jones says is “bull—-.”

Jones is expected to take on Gustafsson at UFC 232 on Saturday.
