That's a shame

What he said after the fight were nice; but alas just empty words. The guy will never change.

I felt sick today, terrible for UFC. Dana will suspend him for at least 3-4 years I think.

Dana won't suspend him. Dana is about money, and no Jon Jones = less money. They knew Lesnar failed his test (big surprise there) and still let him fight.

He will be suspended by USADA for min 2? years if he fails the appeal tho.

I wonder what kind of excuse him and his camp will come up with......
Jones is done. His ego outgrew his talent.

The UFC needs to start putting something into contracts like what Bellator did with Sonnen. If he tested positive for PEDs, he would lose 100% of his purse, and fined 500K. Start hitting these cheaters in their wallets.

I could be wrong, but from what I've read, and listened to. It sounds like the USADA suspension "should be" a minimum of 2 years, and that's if there are mitigating circumstances. If they don't find mitigating circumstances he's looking at 4 years.

Ya, that what I was reading. But I have listened to pod casts of people saying that USADA really doesnt follow their own rules. I would say a Min of 2 years for sure.
Either way, I think his career is over.
