So Jones likes **** ᵖᶦᶫᶫˢ in his mouth. This guys out of competition life will never not be hilarious. He should have forked over those headphones to Poir, karmas biting him in the ass lolol.

Pleasantly surprised they stuck to their guns and handed out the max suspension.

If this is just from Cialis (not sure exactly the charges) then this suspension is ******** and I think this sucks for the legitimacy of the division. The best 205'er ever is gone even longer and the faux champion DC holds the belt and acts like he's the better fighter than Jon. I and many others don't consider DC or anyone the best until they best Jon Jones. I kinda feel the same way about GSP and the WW division that the belt was never really passed on from GSP to anyone.

Dude keeps ******* up and at this level you should know everything you are putting in your body. Not just taking some random pill from your buddy and not questioning it. I got no problems with this suspension.



Also I can't stand DC either and think Jones probably beats him in a rematch. Can't deny Jones is one of the best at 205 ever and I used to be a fan when he first came in the UFC. Unfortunately outside of the cage he seems like a tool.

I thought the max suspension from USADA was 2 years.

So I see people are still buying into the "tainted supplement" ********. Jon Jones is a professional, he didn't put anything in his body without knowing what it was, he got caught. 

That's not DC's fault. I'm not a DC fan (to say the least) and I think he's been acting like a second grade fanboy by dancing around and tweeting joy every time he gets to fight on a card someone else can actually sell, nor do I consider him the best 205er on the planet, but from that to blaming him for being champ while Jones is busy being a major ****-up AND a proven cheat I think is a stretch.

Jones needs to sit down and humble himself if he wants to not find himself past his peak and the first step in doing that has to be to go back to where it all started and send poir those ******* headphones!

I'm as down on Jones for his behavior as the next guy, but I'm honestly bummed he'll be out of the cage for a year. We're missing out on an all time great because he's a ******* mess of a person. Shame.

I also had heard that there was a possibility of a 2 year suspension. Who has details?

From page 5 of the report ( http://ufc.usada.org/wp-content/uploads/Award-6-November-2016.pdf  )


 In the Initial Charging Letter, the Applicant was advised that USADA was seeking the standard two (2) year period of ineligibility against him for his doping offenses, and that the sanction could be increased up to a four (4) year period of ineligibility if aggravating circumstances were found.



Then on page 6:


On July 22, 2016, USADA informed the Applicant that the potential sanction lengths outlined in the Initial Charging Letter were incorrect and that USADA was seeking a one (1) year, rather than a two (2) year period of ineligibility against him, because his alleged doping violations involved Specified Substances within the meaning of the WADA Prohibited List and Article 4.2.2 of the UFC ADP.


In that letter, USADA further advised the Applicant that his period of ineligibility could be up to three (3) years depending upon the applicability of "aggravating circumstances".

Jones is perhaps the best fighter of his generation(I think Demetrious is in that conversation too), but I honestly kind of hoped he would get 2 years and just go away.  There are plenty of fighters who are just as entertaining/compelling if not talented, guys who aren't colossal pieces of **** as human beings.  If I never saw another Jon Jones fight in my life, I'd be perfectly fine with that.
