Will Jon Jones ever become a UFC champion again?

[bigconan]

Well absolute worst case scenario is he gets 4 years for popping for 2 substances and gets jail time for violating his probation so that could be 4+years making him at least 32.

Steroids or peds are not violating probation. That question has already been answered at the press conference. Probation does not test for steroids... or peds.

Hes still young and still the best fighter , why the fuck not lol? Some of you are ridiculous.

He gets a 2 year ban max if even that, shit he might even get 6 months like yoel and be back by december

 

[Jopo]

He'll be back and he'll be a champion again.

and then get in trouble again

 

[JosephDredd]

If he gets suspended for 4 years -- what the hell would he do for those 4 years? Would he try to do the C-level reality TV show? Would he just quietly train and run a gym until his suspension is lifted? Is he going to party away his money so he's in no condition to return?

Looking at a 4-year max.

There was a thread debating that and someone said it will still end up violating the probation. They dont test for them because its too expensive to test for them but since usada did the testing and caught him that can be used as proof of violation of probation.

He is the best MMA fighter of all time. Worst case scenario he'll be 30 when he comes back. He'll be fine.

We are talking about a situation where it is likely he may be 30 with one fight in four years. If he was as focused as Dominick Cruz, he'd be fine. But that doesn't seem to be the case.

I've learned to never doubt Jones' ability to win fights. I've also learned never to doubt his ability to fuck up outside of fights. This question pits those two things against each other.

Provided he doesn't make an attempt on president's life in the meantime, he will.

Provided he doesn't shoot up any cops in the meantime, he will.

Looking at a 4-year max.

If vitor got caught basically abusing TRT and got only a two year ban. I dont think jones gets a 2 year ban unless its something like EPO, fact is we dont even know what he tested postive for, it might be something found in supplements that doesnt even do shit.

Even anderson got caught for 2 things and what did he get a 1 year ban?

 

[Ever Watchful]

No, it isn't likely. Though it's always a possibility

 

[Soul On Ice]

Predict he'll get 6 months, I think the suspension will have started from the day he got pulled from 200...He'll be champ again early 2017.

I think people saying "no" is wishful thinking.

 

[nevernamed]

He's still young enough that he could return to the sport a genuinely new man and have one of those comeback stories.. Bernard Hopkins bounced back after being in jail, it can happen.

 

[Drunk Bum]

Looking like he's going to face 2-4 years pending appeal since the B-sample came back positive for two substances banned out of competition (PEDs).

Thoughts?

I can tell you something, Conor will only be FW champ til he faces Frankie.

 

[Jin Akutsu]

Boy, a lot of people sure have Conor on the mind. Last I checked McGregor cold clocked the guy who was considered P4P best, undefeated for 10 years, and the man who beat Edgar. Jose Aldo was the champion, he got knocked out cold so McGregor is the new champion.

Conor Bless you.

 

[Clippy]

He's done, when he's suspended for any amount of time he'll have plenty of free time to be reckless

It's just who he is why expect anything else?

He's proven it again and again, if he can find a way to screw up he'll do it

 

[Dart Feld]

Lmao have you taken a look at LHW?

Extremely top heavy, aging, several contemplating retirement, no esp. impressive prospects, etc.

Don't call me boy, i'm far from a kid. I respect you as a poster Jin, but you're kinda delusional with Conor. If a 11 day short notice Diaz beat him, do you think a prepped up camp Diaz will fall? Plz dont get sucked into Conor stuff again.

 

[Donny White]

40 is the new 30.

He has plenty of time to mount a comeback, but he definitely needs to drop the party lifestyle, or he'll never see that belt again.

 

[Jawbox01]

One third voted yes. In Genesis, one third of the angels joined Lucifer, or Satan in his rebellion from heaven. Coincidence?

Honestly, you're probaby the only Conor fan I respect.
