Dana White 'I'm Not Speaking to Jon Jones' Get Your Life In Order First!
Dana White says he hasn't spoken with Jon Jones since his suspension -- and WON'T talk to the former champ -- until he clears up all of the issues in his personal life.
Jones was stripped of his interim light heavyweight title this week after USADA imposed a 1 year ban on him for testing positive for PEDs before UFC 200.
Jones claimed he wasn't trying to get a competitive edge -- but had innocently taken a "d**k pill" that he didn't know contained a banned substance.
So, we asked White if Jones was finally out of his dog house -- and long story short ... no.
"Jon's got a lot of things he's gotta handle and clear up before Jon and I talk," White says.
"It's all self-inflicted so he needs to figure some stuff out and get his personal life in order before he even thinks about what's going on over here [in the UFC]."
But not all of the fighters are writing Jones off ... Michael Bisping says Jon's still young enough and talented enough to dominate the UFC gain ... "Don't worry about him."

Eddie Alvarez isn't the only one taking shots at Conor McGregor ... 'cause PETA is calling out the MMA superstar over the flashy mink coat he wore during the UFC 205 presser Thursday, TMZ Sports has learned.
Aside from McGregor's usual news conference antics, all eyes were on his outfit ... which featured what he claims to be an all white Gucci mink.
PETA's Senior Vice President, Lisa Lange, took notice ... and called out the Notorious for his fashion choice.
"There are few things more out of touch than draping yourself in the skins of animals who were beaten, electrocuted, and even skinned alive for their fur," Lange says.
"Real men leave the beatings in the ring -- and fight, not support, animal abuse."

Donald Trump and Conor McGregor in the same building??
It could happen on Saturday ... because the President-elect had told Dana White he'd be at UFC 205 if he won the election.
We spoke with Dana -- who famously gave a speech for Donald at the Republican National Convention back in July -- and the UFC honcho told us about Trump's tentative plans to attend the fight in NYC.
"Donald originally told me he that would come to the fight if he won," White said.
"I don't think Donald really realized what his duties were gonna be had he won. I think he's meeting with Obama today and then I don't know. We'll see, man."
"Listen, no pressure to come ... but it wouldn't suck if he came."
White says Trump's family not only called him after the election -- but invited him to the victory party. And you bet your sweet ass White got out of bed and went!

Jon Jones Hearing Proved I'm No Drug Cheat ... I'll Respect 1 Year Ban
Jon Jones says he is "very pleased" arbitrators in his doping case found that he's "not a drug cheat" -- despite the fact he tested positive for 2 banned substances.
After the UFC star failed a drug test in June, he faced a 1-year ban from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. The case went to an independent panel of arbitrators which determined his fate.
Although he was given the max punishment, Jones is taking solace in the fact arbitrators believed his story about innocently taking a sexual enhancement tablet that contained banned substances.
Jones had claimed he relied on his teammate who said it could enhance his sexual pleasure -- and admitted he didn't properly clear the pill with USADA.
In the docs, the arbitrators called his actions "reckless" -- but ultimately decided he is not a "drug cheat."
Now, Jones has issued a statement saying, "Being cleared of these allegations was very important to me."
"I have always maintained my innocence and I am very happy I have been cleared in any wrong doing pursuant to the allegations made that I had intentionally taken a banned substance."
"I have worked hard in and outside of the octagon to regain my image and my fighting career and will take these next eight months to continue my training and personal growth both as a man and a athlete."
Jones says he will not fight the ban -- and thanks his fans, teammates, coaches, sponsors and to the UFC for their continued support.

Jon Jones Hit With 1 Year Ban For Failed Drug Test
Jon Jones won't be stepping into the Octagon until next year ... 'cause the UFC fighter was just slapped with a year suspension resulting from a failed drug test before UFC 200.
USADA announced the ruling Monday morning ... saying they "determined that Jones should receive the maximum one-year period of ineligibility for his anti-doping violation."
The 29-year-old superstar tested positive for clomiphene and letrozole -- anti-estrogen agents that are often used after a cycle of steroids to counter to the negative side affects.
Traces of the drugs were found in a urine test from June 16, 2016 -- an out of competition test leading up to UFC 200.
Jones was set to fight Daniel Cormier at UFC 200 on July 9th ... but he was pulled from the card 3 days before the event due to the failed test.
It's not all bad news for Jones. The suspension was backdated to the day the failed test was made public ... meaning Jones is eligible to return July 6th, 2017.
Jones still faces possible punishment from the Nevada State Athletic Commission.

UFC legend BJ Penn is off the hook in his sexual assault case -- with prosecutors telling TMZ Sports there is not sufficient evidence to prove he attacked a woman last year.
As we previously reported, cops in Hawaii launched an investigation into Penn after a former writer on his website claimed BJ forced himself onto his GF in August 2015 and forcibly removed her clothes.
Penn adamantly denied the allegations and claimed the writer made the whole thing up as payback for being fired from BJ's website.
The case was kicked to the County of Hawaii prosecuting attorney -- who tells us the case has officially been declined for prosecution because we "don't have sufficient evidence to charge the case."

UFC announcer Joe Rogan has nothing but respect for Ronda Rousey -- but says he doesn't like hearing when fighters talk about the next phase of their career before they're done in the Octagon.
Everyone knows Ronda is one of Joe's favorite fighters -- and he heaped heavy praise on her at LAX this weekend. But when we brought up Ronda's recent announcement that UFC 207 would be one of her last fights before focusing on movies, Joe expressed some concern.
"It's exciting to see her to come back if she wants to come back, but whenever someone starts saying a couple more fights and then I'll go into movies, I go, 'Man, I don't like hearing that.' 'Cause when you have one foot out the door, you should probably put both feet out the door."
Rogan added, "But she might not REALLY have one foot out the door."
We also asked Joe for his thoughts on a possible Rousey vs. Cyborg matchup -- and shocker, he's all about it!
