Nah, they were all in Legacy Fighting Championships in the US, events were in Texas and Louisiana.  Weight classes in pounds is the norm.

100% he'll be back in the UFC - whether they slap him on the wrist, suspend him for six months or suspend him for the full two years (see below).

He's still only young.

Funny thing, Jon Jones actually [b]was[/b] subjected to an "improper" drug test, but it wasn't this one.  Remember a while back when he tested positive for cocaine?  THAT was a test that should never have happened, because recreational drugs aren't banned out of competition and that was an out of competition test.

USADA and the commission did nothing wrong in this latest case.  It's his supplement supplier that he's trying to blame, saying he took something legit that had been contaminated with something banned.

Maybe he's just making up excuses, maybe he's not, but that's a real thing that does happen because the supplements industry is basically the wild west with no real quality control.  And there's precedent for fighters who've proved that's how they failed a test being let off relatively light punishments.

For what it's worth I'm inclined to believe Jones on this one.  He's an awful, reprehensible human being for the most part but he knew he was going to be tested heavily going into this fight and it'd be nuts for him to risk that big of a payday on a fight that he would've been confident in winning anyway.
