It was a pretty brief announcement on Fox Sports Live. More details in about 50 minutes on UFC Tonight on FS1.

So that means, with Jones getting suspended and stripped of the belt, Jose Aldo or Demetrious Johnson is now the official Best P4P fighter in the world.

Ariel Helwani ‏@arielhelwani  20m20 minutes ago

BREAKING: Jon Jones has been stripped of the light heavyweight title. Suspended indefinitely, per @foxsportslive.


Ariel Helwani ‏@arielhelwani  21m21 minutes ago

…. As a result, Daniel Cormier vs. Anthony Johnson is set for UFC 187, per @foxsportslive.


Ariel Helwani ‏@arielhelwani  20m20 minutes ago

White: Obviously, he's very disappointed. He wanted to go down as one of the greats but it was the decision we had to make.


Ariel Helwani ‏@arielhelwani  19m19 minutes ago

White: It's not fun, but you know what they say, the show goes on. … Daniel Cormier was beyond pumped to get this opportunity.


Ariel Helwani ‏@arielhelwani  20m20 minutes ago

White: Cormier, as soon as he heard it, said put me in. He was blowing me and Lorenzo up as soon as he heard about this.


Ariel Helwani ‏@arielhelwani  19m19 minutes ago

White on Jones: I don't know what's going to happen. He has been suspended indefinitely. We'll see what happens.


Ariel Helwani ‏@arielhelwani  18m18 minutes ago

In case it wasn't clear, Cormier vs. Johnson will be for the real 205-pound belt. Not interim title.

Official UFC Statement:

UFC announced that it has suspended Jon Jones indefinitely and stripped him of the light heavyweight title as a result of violations of the organization’s Athlete Code of Conduct Policy. Jones was recently arrested in Albuquerque, N.M. on a felony charge of leaving the scene of an accident involving personal injury. As a result of the charge and other violations of the Athlete Code of Conduct Policy, the organization believes it is best to allow Jones time to focus on his pending legal matters. 

UFC feels strongly that its athletes must uphold certain standards both in and out of the Octagon. While there is disappointment in the recent charges, the organization remains supportive of Jones as he works through the legal process. 

With this decision, UFC has determined that No. 1 contender Anthony Johnson will now fight No. 3 contender Daniel Cormier for the UFC light heavyweight championship at UFC 187 on May 23 in Las Vegas.

I assume this came out of todays talk between Jones, Dana and Lorenzo, since Bones tweeted before the news broke:

My prediction:  My guess is rehab, and whatever falls out from the legal proceedings, and then the UFC will lift the suspension.  Maybe stretch the suspension out for a full year if he gets no jail time.  I doubt an immediate title shot after he returns.  Possibly a fight or two to earn it first.  He's too big of a potential moneymaker for the UFC to cut him loose altogether.

I'm not condoning Jon Jones, nor am I saying that i disagree with the punishment, but please consider the following. If Daniel Cormier wins this title on May 23 (and he will) are we really going to feel good about him being the ¨world champion¨ when we know there is a better light heavyweight int he world who beat him not long ago? 

This sucks. I'm furious with Jon Jones, and I hope he can change himself, but I have to say that it turns my stomach a little to see people delighting in his punishment. Maybe stripping his title is the right thing to do. That doesn't make it a good thing that it had to happen. 

This is a sad day, and I encourage you to see it that way.
