Can they still fight in Asia (like for example Japan), or Russia, or other countries?

Can Jones after an possible (highly doubtful though) 8 year ban go to fight in this countries? I mean his career in any big Org is gone anyway if it happens.
 
Sure they can, but if they signed a contract with the UFC and got busted they're bound to the contract and have to sit it out.
 
They're still signed to the UFC if they're banned by USADA. So no they cant up and leave and fight in other organisations.
 
Yes in fact you can actually fight outside the state that banned you it's just most athletic commissions stick together and wouldn't sanction it. You would have to somehow get out of the ufc contract though. That would be the hardest part.
 
Depends more on the contract

If you ignore a ban and fight overseas you'll probably be shunned by the commissions later in life
 
Change citizenship. Then you even got a puncher's chance against the UFC contract.
 
Are UFC contracts made only for a certain amount of fights, or is there a time limit as well?

Like: 2yr contract for 6 fights, or just 6 fights without time restriction so basically any caught fighter is fucked till the USADA ban is over.

No time restriction would be a smart move from UFC. And a quite good penalty.

More than that. Every promoter, ref, and opponent who participate in an event featuring a banned fighter will also then be banned. Read the NSAC documents.

Well, they can, but those organizations would immediately be sued by WME, so obviously no one out of perhaps Russia would be willing to sign them.

That fighter would also be sued, so they as well see not going to risk it - because they will lose. They'll also be banned in the states for life.
