I'll repeat what Dave Meltzer has said...
“I just happened to be talking to somebody at the UFC the other day, and one of the things… So, we were talking about the Jon Jones thing, and the person told me they still expect Jon to fight before the end of 2018.”
“And I don’t understand how that’s even humanly possible.”
“I just wanted to bring that up, because after that thing (California disciplinary punishment) on Tuesday, I mean realistically.”
“Realistically, I don’t see anyway you can justify less than a four year suspension. I think they probably won’t suspend him for four years because he’s Jon Jones, but I can’t see see less than three [years]. And it really should be four.”
“I can’t come up with an explanation how it couldn’t be four. So anyway I just wanted to throw that out there, because they’re not approaching this like he’s going to be out a long time.”
You've got Jon Jones training like he's on his way back as well as tweeting things like this, and you've got Brendan Schaub predicting that he's going to headline the MSG show (whilst claiming he doesn't know anything).
Something is going on here.
