Crazy. Hed never tested positive before. Wonder if it was just a one time thing he gambled on due to the huge layoff from the prior suspension, or if he had used before but timed it better.
I think this is way more damaging to him than it is for Lesnar. With Lesnar you assumed he was no stranger to this sort of thing, and MMA wasnt going to be his legacy anyway, he has other outlets to fall back on, hes a modern day strongman/entertainer who can dabble in MMA due to his size and strength, but Jones really has dug himself a hole. UFC 200 was his chance to climb out of the hole he previously dug for himself.
People will say oh hell be back on top, and he might, but windows of dominance always close unexpectedly.
