SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Jon Jones had his mixed martial arts license reinstatement hearing Tuesday. Yet some of the things expressed during the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) meeting left Jones and his doping case as almost an afterthought.
Jones had his license temporarily given back in unanimous vote by the commission and will be clear to fight Alexander Gustafsson for the UFC light heavyweight title at UFC 232 on Dec. 29 in Las Vegas. Jones, who tested positive for the banned substance Turinabol in relation to UFC 214 in July 2017, will do community service with a Brazilian jiu-jitsu youth group in Anaheim and he fulfilled the $205,000 fine given to him when his license was revoked by CSAC in February.
