At this time last year, Jon Jones was on top of the world.
Jones scored what should’ve been the highlight of his career on July 29, 2017 when he knocked out rival Daniel Cormier with a second-round head kick at UFC 214. But the glory was short-lived. Shortly after, news broke that Jones tested positive for the anabolic steroid Turinabol in a sample collected the day of weigh-ins. The incident marked Jones’ second USADA failure and restarted the sort of self-destructive cycle that has typified the light heavyweight legend’s run since he first was stripped of his UFC title in 2015.
