    Stunning. Most had JJ as the #1 P4P fighter in the world.

    First Silva, now Jones.

    This sport is fucking dirty.

    Is it possible it was a recreational drug (again)? More coke?

    If it was a recreational drug, would he be considered in competition way back on the 16th of June? I think its a PED and its fairly obvious with his physique change, IMO. Even Chael made a comment about suspecting Jones of PEDs due to his increased physique.

    Yah, thats what I meant, my bad. He was out of competition so they wouldn't have tested him for recreational usage.

    Jones got popped for PEDs. His career in the UFC is effectively over. What a waste of talent.

    Jones set to have a press conference in approximately 15 minutes.

    My expectations:

    -- Denies taking any PEDs, ever
    -- Will be challenging the results by testing the B-sample
    -- Insinuates or outright says he could've been more careful regarding his intake of supplements
    -- Vows to return stronger than ever
    -- Thanks friends, family, fans, the Jesus, and the UFC

    I don't understand the need for an immediate press conference. Test the B-sample first.

    Malki Kawa seems to be a terrible manager.

    AFAIK this won't be a probation violation.

    Denies taking anything to enhance his performance
    Doesn't take supplements/takes supplements/doesn't keep track (this was a mess)
    Doesn't know how he failed
    Apologized to DC
    Will continue with MMA even if he is given a full ban
    They are testing the b-sample

    Jones is going to be the first ever interim champion to be stripped, IIRC

    Also the first fighter to be stripped twice? I'm not sure
