<p><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">UFC light heavyweight Jon Jones fights Glover </span>Teixeira<span style="line-height: 1.6em;"> at UFC 172 on April 26 in Baltimore. The pair were recently subject to out of competition testing. Now <a href="http://espn.go.com/mma/story/_/id/10782211/ufc-fighter-jon-jones-always-request-random-drug-tests-opponents" target="_blank">ESPN</a>'s <a href="https://twitter.com/bokamotoESPN" target="_blank">Brett Okamoto</a> is reporting that the testing was done in response to a request from Jones.</span></p>
"Some fighters, you just know they're not on anything just by looking at them," said Jones. "Part of (Teixeira's) mystique is his amazing physical strength and I just questioned it. I have no reason to think he's on steroids but I do wonder how someone can be so strong."
"I'm sure I've fought other guys in the past on steroids, I think it's pretty well-documented. A lot of people haven't really argued with it because they know it's a true statement. I know it's a true statement."
"I called Dana White and said, 'Hey, I want Glover to take steroid tests for this fight.' He asked me, 'What, you think he's on steroids?' I told him I don't know and I have no reason to accuse him of anything but I would like to be sure.
"Dana told me how the Georges and Johny Hendricks thing became one big cluster because Georges wanted Johny to be tested by a certain company. He recommended I not go that way and talk to the commission directly so I said, 'OK.' "
Jones was asked if he will continue to ask for random testing.
"Not necessarily," he said. "I just thought I would have Glover tested because he's not the youngest fighter and everyone raves about how strong he is."
