Jon Jones’ manager Abe Kawa says USADA decision coming ‘hopefully sooner rather than later’

It has been nearly a year since Jon Jones last fought and almost 11 months since news broke that the former UFC light heavyweight champion failed another drug test. And yet, there is still no sign of an official sanction from USADA, the UFC’s anti-doping partner.

Abe Kawa, one of Jones’ managers, told Ariel Helwani on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour that the decision should be coming soon and he believes USADA is taking its time working toward a measured suspension, because of Jones’ stature as one of the greatest fighters of all time.
