UFC champion Jon Jones only has one loss on his MMA record. The most dominant star in fighting was ‘defeated’ by Matt Hamill at The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 10 Finale back in 2009. He wasn’t really topped, of course, as he was dominating ‘The Hammer’ like he did most of his early-career opponents. No, ‘Bones’ […]

Joe Rogan has come to the defense of young UFC bantamweight prospect Sean O’Malley.

O’Malley is back on the shelf due to trace amounts of Ostarine appearing in his system. The longtime UFC color commentator gave his take on the situation on a recent edition of “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast:

“He got a tainted supplement,” Rogan stated (transcript via Pundit Arena). “These new tests that they have, they are so f**king extensive, they catch sh*t that you did years ago.

If you took a tainted supplement with something that has zero performance benefit years ago it can still show up in your system. Whereas they used to have ‘oh, it will be out of your system in six weeks’.”

Joe Rogan Defends

O’Malley has been temporarily suspended by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) due to the failed drug test. The Dana White’s Contender Series product had been under a suspension for six months through March after a similar infraction. He was reinstated by USADA but still had to serve the short length of the punishment. 

He was supposed to fight Marlon Vera at the UFC 239 pay-per-view (PPV) event but obviously, that fight got nixed. Now, the promotion is seeking a replacement for O’Malley to fight Vera.

Jon Jones may very well be undefeated on his official mixed martial arts (MMA) record if UFC President Dana White has anything to say about it.

It was recently announced by White that he’s working with the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) in an attempt to overturn his controversial 2009 disqualification defeat. Longtime UFC commentator Joe Rogan took to Twitter to react to the news, approving of White’s efforts:

“I’m in agreement with this 100%. The 12-6 elbow rule is one of the dumbest rules in combat sports. At the very least that fight should be a no contest. He was completely dominant.”

Jones faced off against Matt Hamill at “The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights” finale back in 2009. The fight was stopped after Jones delivered some 12-6 elbows on Hamill, a move that is deemed illegal under the current ruleset. However, many have criticized that making such a move illegal is absolutely foolish, as they do the same amount of damage as elbows thrown from any other angle.

With that being said, Jones was disqualified after Hamill could no longer continue, and Hamill was awarded the victory by default. Over the years many have argued that Jones’ loss should be overturned, and it looks like it could very well happen.
