A lot of places saying he's still clear to fight and other sites saying the opposite.
Anyone know for sure if he's still on the card?
 
The ufc, NSAC and abq have not pulled him

The UFC and NSAC have not said whether he is guaranteed out or in
 
My understanding of latest: DW & Fertitta are in Albuquerque this afternoon to meet with JBJ & his attorney. Would hope (fight/ not fight) UFC187 will be decided during that meeting. Perhaps not, but I'll bet so.
 
He is meting with Dana and Lorenzo tomorrow. Then they will probably decide what to do..

Oh crap. I read they'd meet this aft? Was hoping we'd know something by dinner time? Not gonna happen, huh?
 
Not known at this time. A lot hinges on if or when he is charged, and what he is charged with. Zuffa is no doubt calling in favors from all of their connections.

Doesnt matter what any other sites are saying. The UFC hasn't said he is out so as of now he is still officially on the card.
 
Not yet but if the UFC has any balls they'll pull em off that card.
 
Damn, with everything that has transpired in about a day, and people care if he's fighting or not? Intellectually and ethically limited. Respectfully.
 
The right thing to do is to strip him of the belt. But Jones is the UFCs golden boy. Will be interesting to see what they decide to do after tomorrow.

Why would they do that?? Whats in their interest to do that??

I hear a lot of people want him pulled because he committed a crime.........yah and?? He's been charged and will appear in court and that will result in his punishment. Thats the justice system at work.

All I hear is he's an athlete and getting away with something and he's not liable.....PEOPLE! the man has been charged....he was brought in and charged and it was upgraded to a higher charge. What is he getting away with?? Just cause he's fighting? It has nothing to do with the crime.

Nothing more needs to be said. Pulling him from the card hurts the ufc, the fighters on that card, and the fans.

Has nothing to do with my life, now making plans to see him fight? That would be something I'd be involved in lmao
