• Xenforo Cloud will be upgrading us to version 2.3.5 on March 3rd at 12 AM GMT. This version has increased stability and fixes several bugs. We expect downtime for the duration of the update. The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version.

Can Jones get a license in another state or the CSAC license is needed in the future?

The other US commissions honor suspensions given out by the other US commissions. The only way he fights again before his suspension is up is if he fights in another country that doesn't give a shit about usada or the US commissions. And that's assuming wme terminates his contract which isn't happening.

He could fight overseas anyway but they(wme) would sue the shit out of him and he would not only have to give them the money he made off the fight itself, but probably money out of his own pocket too.

He's not suspended but he has a right to re apply for a license in August.

What about overseas UFC fights?

Sounds like a Suspension to me, he had a license that was ongoing, and now they've revoked it, he can reapply when that license would have expired.

And if they deny his license wonder if he can fight elsewhere in the US? I guess not.
Overseas will be the only answer, I guess.

He can technically fight overseas, but the commission can hold it against him when he tries to reapply for a license in the states...but the UFC won't book any fights for a fighter that is suspended so it's a moot point.

He doesn't have to apply for a license in CA, he can apply in another state. I'd suggest booking his 1st fight back in TX, but he still has a USADA suspension to deal with.

His license was revoked and fined, with further penalties deferred to USADA's discretion.

It doesn't matter if his USADA hearing isn't until December or next year, I'm pretty sure he won't get a license in any state until that matter has been addressed and he proves he's gotten his shit together.

He's gone... accept it or don't.

Other states would deny is application based on an existing suspension. California could hold that action against Jones if he attempts to reapply, and Cali could hold it against the ufc when they apply to hold another event there.

Athletic commissions support the rulings of other athletic commissions. I can’t think of a single instance where a ufc fighter was under a similar santion but was approved to fight in a separate state. I can’t even think of it in boxing, either.
 
How have you been here 4 years and not know the answer to that question.

No, all commissions will honor a suspension from another commission. And the ufc will honor it too. All he “could”do is fight out the country for a big payday, and he would never be able to fight in the states again, and be sued by the UFC

They litterally told him he can re apply in august of this year. If they wanted to throw the book at him they would have suspended him for 2 years thus black balling him from fighting anywhere else in the United States for two years, but they had no desire to suspend him.

That's the thing though, he's not done and I think that's something a lot of you angry fans will have to accept.

The reason CSAC didn't give the actual punishment for a second time case like Jon Jones wasn't simply to "deferr" all punishment to USADA, that's silly CSAC is there own body and their own commission, they didn't give Jones a 2 year ban because they previously agreed not too. Money talks.

I agree money talks, but not in the way you're implying. it probably has more to do with the problems going for a harsh penalty against shlemenko caused for them. They decided to let USADA do the the big work here

What on god's green earth was so hard for you to understand about yesterday's hearing? He can't fight... anywhere... until USADA completes their hearing and passes judgment. Jones openly admitted he didn't abide by USADA's rules and procedures (after they cut him a break last time around), and I guess you just don't understand the significance of it.

Not only that... Jones even seemed casually dismissive of the importance of following their rules. You would have to be a complete idiot to believe Jones' innocence or integrity. The CSAC wasn't fooled, and he USADA committee isn't going to fall for it either.
 
I think bans are enforced by other states, but license revocations are independent by state.
 
Technically he could but the commissions all honor each other's suspensions.
