On Wednesday, it was reported by MMA Fighting that the former UFC light heavyweight champion had been given a 15-month suspension for his second failed drug test, which came from a sample collected in July of last year. That means Jones will be eligible to compete again on Oct. 28.
Jones has long maintained his innocence and he took to social media shortly after the verdict became public to declare his comeback intentions.
It’s difficult to express myself at this moment but I can definitely say my heart is filled with gratitude and appreciation.
