https://www.mmafighting.com/2018/9/...th-suspension-after-arbitration-in-usada-case "The suspension is retroactive to when the sample was collected July 28, 2017 and Jones will be eligible to fight again Oct. 28. An official announcement from USADA with a full arbitrator decision came later Wednesday night. The arbitrator’s decision means Jones would be eligible to fight at UFC 230 on Nov. 3 at New York’s Madison Square Garden, a card that is currently without a main event. Jones is a New York native."
I believe UFC will be making an announcement at tomorrows Mcgregor/Khabib press conference which I assume will be in regards to the main event for UFC230 and hopefully with todays news it contains Jones
UFC lining USADAs pockets to get him back? Fight DC at HW and UFC would prefer Jones wins for Brock v Jones...then again Jones will probably get busted again in the next fight..What's the use of USADA letting the guy off with letting him come back each year to earn millions. I was a massive Jones fan and kept giving him passes but he is dirty AF.
Now it makes sense why they froze out the LHW division. So the serial eye poker and multiple time PED cheat can reclaim his spot. I'm not surprised at all... Is normal at this point.
The sport is better off with this **** stain gone. People keep giving this sociopath the benefit of the doubt though, it's ridiculous.
Didnt Jones crash his car in to another car with some pregnant lady in it, and take her wallet after? How is anyone a fan of his again?
Nick Diaz's career was effectively ended for small traces of weed in his system but this serial ped cheating POS gets another slap on the wrist. UFC is a joke.
I'd love it if UFCs blatant corruption blows up in their face if Jones pops dirty in his first fight back (a real possibility).
Take it for what it's worth but Dana has just said that Jones 100% will not be headlining the MSG card so I have no idea who the main event will be.
Usually when Dana says absolutely not it means the opposite...Wasn't he carrying on how McNugget was gonna be punished for the bus ****... Instead he gets rewarded with a main event and gets to show up drunk and promote his goats **** drink at the press conference.
Yes I agree Dana is a proven lier and normally like you I would take what he said with a grain of salt but in this case there little chance of him being on this card because of the negative publicity plus from what I've heard UFC apparently has had a main event agreed to for over a week but I'm not sure what the hold up in anouncing it is apart from maybe just the signing of contracts and/or agreeing to a few terms. Apart from making short notice replacement fights I can't remember it taking them so long to announce a head line fight especcially considering it's supposed to be 1 of there bigger events every year. If the tickets are selling so fast it's clear Nates long awaited return fight against Poirier is a big enough fight to headline and it deserves the full 5 rounds and we fans all deserve to get to see it
No. He did hit another car with a pregnant women inside - didn't steal anything from her. Afterwards popped twice. Huge disappointment all three times, doesn't make me less of a fan tbh. I remain a big fan of the fighter. He is the reason i started watching the sport. If someone else pops, **** them. When Jones pops, it's a disappointment, but i remain a fan. I am hypocritical when it comes to Jones.
