Jon Jones will meet with the California State Athletic Commission next week regarding his failed drug test from last summer, and this has led to increased conversation about a possible UFC return this year. His manager has stated that he’s “95% sure” that Jones will fight in 2018, and Jones himself has returned to posting confrontational messages on social media.
One thing he hadn’t done was talk to UFC president Dana White though. The two men hadn’t had a conversation since Jones was flagged by USADA, but White told TMZ Sports that he spoke to the former UFC light heavyweight champion yesterday.
