Jon Jones' Manager, Malki Kawa, Says 95 Percent Chance He Fights in UFC in 2018

Jon Jones' manager believes the former UFC light heavyweight champion has a strong chance to return to the Octagon this year.

Appearing on a recent episode of The Luke Thomas Show on SiriusXM (h/t Adam Guillen Jr. of SB Nation's MMA Mania), Malki Kawa said Jones' camp is expecting a resolution to his drug-related suspension by the end of next month:

"By the end of this month, I think we get some clarity on the issues. We have a hearing with the California State Athletic Commission, and we're hoping to get the investigation with USADA wrapped up by then as well.
