How good will TJ be when he returns from suspension?

Two year lay off isn't ideal, especially when he's already 32 and the sport is rapidly evolving. Add the fact, he's either gonna have to go cold turkey on peds or reduce his intake if he wants to pass tests, unless he can find an even better doping programme. The little guys also tend to pass their primes at an earlier age too. All in all it's looking really bad for TJ's future.
 
I don`t care...

He'll be 35 when he gets back. Maybe his body will recover more from that weight cut, can he contend again?

He’s an insane competitor, it’s hard to bet against him

It depends on if he is continuously tested or if he get the treatment some other fighters get where they are almost never tested during suspension. If it’s the later then he may come back literally bigger, and better than ever.
 
Cody will finally knock him out when he's back. Shades of Ortiz/Liddell 3.
 
Upside is, he doesn't have to worry about getting busted for it again.
 
Fitter than ever after an insane cycle. Takes the belt back by force
 
Is this the nail in the casket? He gets blown out of the water by Henry while on EPO and gives up his title due to his known guilt. You can get away being 35-40 at LHW/HW but its hard to be successful at the lighter weight classes when you are 35+ and start to lose your speed and reaction timing. He will be out for two years and I dont care what Cruz says, he will have ring rust and maybe confidence issues coming back.

Is TJ's career over? Do you think he asks to be released from the UFC?

EDIT: LOL at TJ's wiki page

Manlet's aren't as resilient as the heavyweights. He's done
 
It's not over. He will shed his old skin and come back as a lizard.
 
Bantamweights age in dog years compared to heavyweights

So yeah he's done
 
He'll still be back before Cruz.
 
UFC will trade him to OneFC and TJ will fight DJ in japan before the end of the year.

The only way to kill a snake is to chop off his head. TJ will live on!

The worst part of all of this is we have to hear more of Cejudo in the interim.
 
No idea, but it's unlikely that he'll be the champ again.
 
35? He should be ok if he roids one more time and calls it a day.
 
Fair to say he can come back mentally - if anyone can turn this to his advantage and make a massive heel-turn (he's already half-way there) it's TJ. Whether he can come back physically remains to be seen. It's not looking good...
 
He will come back ! all steroid champs come back lol !
