He had his license revoked by the California Athletic Commission yesterday until August. He’s waiting on a ruling from USADA which could be a four year ban (I think most think it’ll be a one year ban retroactive to last August).

He’s been busted for PEDs or their correlations twice. He’s been busted for coke. He hit and run a pregnant woman.

Should the UFC let him fight again? If so, should he get an immediate title fight?

What are your thoughts on his past and future?

He should get banned for life for his hit n run but USADA wont do that. I doubt he will even get the 4 year ban

If he fights in the UFC again it's a shame.

The guy is a grade A frickup and has had too many chances

Oh, I think he’ll be cleared and fight this fall...then fight Cormier on New Years. That doesn’t make it right though.

Failing twice for roids in a sport where it provides such a huuuuuuge advantage, should be enough that he never fights again

USADA should hammer him this time. He only got a year last time because it was a tainted supplement. They probably won't though.

He should be banned for life.

Why do y'all think he will be cleared, all his supplements he took came back clean meaning they weren't tainted. I think that right there will get him 2 from past punishments usada has dropped for prior offenses. But wouldn't shock me if he get the full 4 years. And the fact he is now saying he was drugged, he can't admit he is a cheater so I think USADA will make an example out of him. And if usada gives him less than two there will be a lot of fighters that may appeal or file suit against usada Bc if there punishments they have received.

I think Chad Mendes is the only one so far to get the 2 years from USADA.

I'll be surprised if he doesn't get a warm-up fight immediately coming out of whatever ban he gets then a title shot as quickly as possible after that.

I don't know if Cormier would agree to fight him against at this point. There is just too much bad history between the two. Cormier has legit been burned multiple times.

Cormier will fight him because he wants that one last payday. He's only got probably 2-3 fights left in him.

I think he’s an underrated DC superhero and deserves his own movie.

I think he's a really frustrating story. One of the most dominant athletes ever, and he just keeps making bad decision after bad decision. It's hard to imagine having that much talent and just throwing it all away.

Just suspicion, but he’s the best fighter in history and there will be pressure, from Dana White among others, to issue a lesser punishment. Moreover, I think he’s just one of those guys we all know that seems to always escape what facts seem to indicate he deserves.

I wish they would let Cormier roid up pre-fight against him on that Easy German shite Jones was taking

Pretty much how I feel about him.

With that being said, it was still nice to watch him rock Daniel Cormier

The UFC needs to outright ban him. They've given him enough chances, yet he keeps cheating.

Dude has problems, and I am sure he's not the only one. Just the only one who keeps getting busted over and over. Let him go fight overseas. Unless some other promotion and state athletic commission want the headache to sanction him to fight.

Imagine Cormier on anabolic steroids

Would make a pretzel out of Jones
