Jon Jones Receives Punishment For PED Use

00

Jon Jones stood before the California State Athletic Commission Tuesday to explain why he failed July’s UFC 214 drug test.

Unfortunately for the former UFC light heavyweight champion, the CSAC wasn’t buying what he was selling.

Jones was fined $205,000, 40 percent of his UFC 214 fight purse, plus an additional $5,000 for good measure, and had his fighting license revoked.

The troubled 30-year-old can reapply for his license in August 2019. However, Jones still needs to explain himself to the USADA, the independent company the UFC hired to conduct drug screening on their roster.
