The guy has cheated and he agreed to do VADA testing earlier but suddenly he opt out. Doesnt look good.1. Duh.
2. Being beholden to two drug testing programs is a good way to make your life miserable.

His reputation should already be irreparably damaged in the eyes of everyone.The guy has cheated and he agreed to do VADA testing earlier but suddenly he opt out. Doesnt look good.
Machida BaderQuick, for physics - whats the best example of someone walking forward into a punch and getting KTFO?
when in doubt, who cares? he fucked himself over in either case.Okay, so taking away the hate for a jackass, should we actually assume he was cheating or is it save to say these are traces from the original suspension?
Damn, son. Jones is a despicable human being. And to think dc came off as the heel the last time they fought. I remember it really affecting cormier that people were booing him instead of joned.
Jones brought up Cormier's wife first though..
Alex has the biggest opportunity to become the Hero of MMA we've maybe ever seen.

Jones' last fight was more recent than Gustaffson's. I doubt ring rust will be an advantage for either.Super curious how Jones will look. Part of me hopes he's ring rusted slow and off but then it's Jones.
Fucks sake.
I know everyone wants to talk about how much of a PR disaster this is for the UFC, and how other fighters are up in arms about it, but what will probably happen is Jones will run through Alex, the announcers will act like he overcame adversity, the post fight news cycle will all be about Jones' dominant comeback moreso than the whole "PEDs/venue move" thing (remember, UFC is with ESPN now, they will have no shame in coloring the narrative) and everyone will start talking up a potential Jones/DC III next year. Which is why as bad as this is, Dana and the UFC know they can get away with it. Because people won't care. The bar for combat sports is (thanks in large part to them) so low in terms of public perception.

Jones on roids is a damn monster. Look at what he did to DC!Super curious how Jones will look. Part of me hopes he's ring rusted slow and off but then it's Jones.

Luke's always been pretty firmly on the side of fuck it these tests are inconsistent unreliable nonsense and most of the drugs in the list aren't there because of any actual studies so let them take whatever they want. This isn't new for him.
This is true, but Jones has popped for tbol and clomid and ended up serving shorter (or no) bans than fighters who've failed for things that are on the list but aren't really PEDs, like Machida (or Diaz). He's not an example of anything other than preferential treatment under this system.Luke's always been pretty firmly on the side of fuck it these tests are inconsistent unreliable nonsense and most of the drugs in the list aren't there because of any actual studies so let them take whatever they want.
