    No way. No f---ing way a fighter this brilliant is this undisciplined. I'm now convinced Jones is an addict who seriously needs help before he does irreversible damage to his life, and I hope there are at least some decent people around him who aren't enablers and will set him straight.

    To say this is disappointing is an understatement, I've been a fan of this guy for years, this is infuriating.

    Jones' press conference=deny deny deny



    Also gonna post this in here because the regular MMA thread doesn't get any attention. UFC 202 press conference starts in about 15 mins...

    The card definitely took a hit. UFC 200 is a HUGE deal and as good of a chance to draw in new fans as ever. The top 3 active household names (McGregor, Rousey & JBJ) are all not a part of the UFCs biggest night...

    Jon Jones is hardly a household name though, UFC 197 did like 400 K buys. Brock Lesnar's last minute addition saved this card in hindsight, its still gonna do a Million buys if not a little more. Not what they wanted but between tonight, tomorrow night and Saturday there are 4 titles on the line and like a dozen former champs fighting. 200 probably takes a hit of around 200 K buys MAX. 202 is gonna break UFC 100's record (of 1.6 Mill), probably by a significant amount.

    @redsoxx you think he knowingly juiced? I saw something that said he's been tested 8 times since December 2015 and this is the only failed test.

    I get that it only takes one, but even with his questionable past, I'd be shocked if he was this stupid.

    The greats are always juicing. GSP should not come back as my fear despite his work ethic....he may have juiced to :O

    I don't think he's that dumb either, knowing how strict USADA is and the fact that this would have been the biggest pay day of his career (thanks to Brock's addition). The tainted supplement excuse has been used so many times since the new drug testing regiment was put into place, its inexcusable imo but that's probably what it is. I don't think hes a clean fighter, but i can't see him being this stupid and blatantly taking s---.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but hasn't GAT has had issues like this before? I think he just got sponsored by them in November of 2015. Probably a new supplement regimen and he obviously didn't pay close enough attention. He's a grown man though, so it doesn't excuse it because it could've been pretty easily prevented had he been more careful.

    Sounds like Anderson Silva is the front runner to take the DC fight
