Former UFC light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones is still waiting to return to the Octagon following his potential doping violation. 

The 30-year-old last fought back in July 2017, when he beat Daniel Cormier for the title via knockout. 

DOPING VIOLATIONS

However, one month later he was flagged by the USADA, after allegedly testing positive for Turinabol, an anabolic steroid - at his weigh-in for the fight. 

A second sample was later confirmed to be positive and the result of the Jones v Cormier fight was reversed to a no contest. 

"Bones" was then stripped of his title and Dana White handed it over to Cormier, who has held it ever since. 

JONES AND CORMIER'S FEUD

Despite the record books ultimately showing that the Jones Cormier fight at UFC 214 was a no contest, fans who witnessed it know that it's not really the case.

Jones brutally knocked "DC" out - and has recently been reminding him of that fact.

Last week, UFC's Twitter account asked if Cormier could be considered the GOAT if he beats heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic at UFC 226. 

"Bones" didn't take kindly to that and replied, "If he’s in the conversation, does that make me the man?"

His reply caught the attention of many fans, who have been talking about it ever since. But now, Cormier has given his own response to Jones's tweet. 

CORMIER'S BRUTAL ASSESSMENT OF JONES AND HIS LEGACY 

"He doesn’t have a platform and I refuse to give him a platform," Cormier told CBS Sports, per MMAmania.  

"He’s a nobody. He has been suspended again. He’s mired in controversy for drug abuse. Your issues are tied to steroids and performance enhancers." 

As well as pointing out the relationship that Jones has with drugs, DC went one step further, likening his legacy to that of disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong. 

"You don’t get a platform when you’re like that. It’s like me glorifying Lance Armstrong."

Cormier also went on to suggest that his rivals accomplishments should be squashed because he feels that the drugs controversy surrounding Jones is too much.   

"[Jones] won the fight but, hey, since USADA has gotten involved with the UFC, he only fought one time," he continued. 

"So I’m pretty sure there was some dirty stuff going on."
