Jon Jones might get the chance to headline a huge card in his home state after all.

The former UFC light heavyweight champion — and one of the greatest to ever step in the Octagon — was given a 15-month suspension in his USADA case by an arbitrator, following his failed drug test for a steroid metabolite, multiple sources told MMA Fighting on Wednesday.

The suspension is retroactive to when the sample was collected July 28, 2017 and Jones will be eligible to fight again Oct. 28. An official announcement from USADA with a full arbitrator decision is expected Wednesday night.

The arbitrator’s decision means Jones would be eligible to fight at UFC 230 on Nov. 3 at New York’s Madison Square Garden, a card that is currently without a main event. Jones is a New York native.

[Sapp]

Oh shit, is this official? Is this coming from USADA?
Huge if true. 15 months seems like a weird number....

 

[SCTwins]

All I want for Christmas is Jones-Gus 2

 

[Danis_champ]

no 12 months no 24 months no 48 months but exactly 15 months so he could headline MSG card. What a fucking joke USADA is?

 

[Toco]

yes, jones gus 2 incoming

 

[180ls1]

What a sham. Fresh off Werdum getting 2 years, they arent even trying to hide the corruption anymore.

 

[00 Buck]

[Toco]

@dimspace saved since it was the arbitration and not USADA that handled him the low sentence

 

[DocK]

That is a joke.

Either they can prove there was a mistake and Jones should have been cleared (ha), or he should have banned for 4 years. Nothing in between.

 

[neil_totally]

What the fuck is “fifteen months”?

Jesus, insanely obvious this is all under the table shenanigans to get him back for a particular event

 

[Kael Rills]

After all he'll beat DC for the third time before he retires. Then he'll likely get suspended again.
