With his second PED-related suspension about to reach an end, the embattled former light heavyweight champion is scheduled to rematch Alexander Gustafsson for the 205-pound title on Dec. 29 in Las Vegas at UFC 232. Jones’ return has been a controversial one, to put it mildly. Many within the MMA community were critical when he was issued a reduced 18-month suspension for his second USADA offense, and several of his peers have voiced doubt regarding the legitimacy of his past accomplishments because of his multiple failed drug tests. A common question that has been debated is whether Jones can still be in consideration as the greatest fighter of all-time despite his drug-testing issues.
