If your implying that Jones is getting more heat because he's Jones or because he's black, I think it's actually the exact opposite.
I think if this were Gus, especially right now with him just being a contender and not champion, he'd likely be CUT
UFC had no problems indefinitely suspending johnson when ALLEGATIONS of abuse came out (not proof...just allegations) and they re-cut thiago silva in a heartbeat.
I think the fact that Jones is a big star and the greatest LHW of all time (very possibly soon to be the best UFC fighter of all time of any weight class) is the thing that has protected him in this situation.
If ANYONE ELSE in the LHW division were popped for cocaine they'd be facing serious discipline and possibly cut.
Shit matt riddle got cut for having trace amounts of weed in his system
