Jon Jones is still waiting for word back by USADA regarding his latest failed drug test but there have been some wild rumors going around.

Jones failed an in-competition drug test for Turinabol at UFC 214 after he beat Daniel Cormier by third-round TKO. This fight took place in the main event in July of 2017 in Anaheim, California.

As a result of that failed drug test, he was stripped of the UFC light heavyweight title. He was also removed from the official UFC rankings.

Back in February, it was revealed that the CSAC revoked Jones’ MMA license and fined him $205,000. Many considered that this hearing that would determine Jones’ fate as a result of this drug test. Now, he’s waiting to hear the decision made by USADA.

It’s known that Jones and his camp have been optimistic about their chances of competing inside of the Octagon this year. Manager Malki Kawa has gone on record by stating that he hopes Jones fights before the end of 2018.

Also, his striking coach Brandon Gibson expressed excitement over Jones developing one-punch knockout power. However, it appears more likely that he won’t fight this year.

There have been rumors about USADA allegedly taking payoffs in this case involving the former UFC light heavyweight champion. Obviously, that’s not the case.

In a written statement, USADA spokesperson Danielle Eurich told MMAjunkie, “In relation to some media and social media comments we have observed, USADA wishes to clarify that under no circumstances do we receive payments as part of the resolution of cases.”

The curious case of ex-light heavyweight champion Jon Jones continued this week, as he stood in an orange jump suit before a judge in a court of law. Having been pulled over by the police just 5 days prior for allegedly drag racing in the streets of New Mexico, Jones had felt the lonesome space of a jail cell for 4 days after a warrant was issued for his arrest. Violating the terms of his probation, worsened to a minor extent by his foul demeanour towards the New Mexico police officer, the 28-year old New York born Jones looked humble in court.

After such a torrid year for ‘Bones’ it was hoped he’d be able to stay on the straight and narrow. Alas the temptation of driving his high powered and modified Corvette was too strong, and we found ourselves once again worrying about Jones being pulled from a title fight. This time around Jones is the challenger and Daniel Cormier the champion, after the UFC stripped the fallen champion following his 2015 hit-and-run. The consensus cry from the MMA community was ‘Please Jon, stop driving.’

So here he stood, before a realistic yet stern judge, who sentenced Jon Jones to an extra 60 hours of community service, driver and anger management courses, and a no-drive before checking with his PO policy. Watch the video of the judge’s ruling and warning to Jon Jones:

“Jon, if you do come back here, it won’t go well”.

Here’s the UFC’s official response to Jon Jones’ latest law worries:

“UFC respects the decision made today by Judge Michael E. Martinez in New Mexico Second Judicial District Court regarding the probation terms of the case involving Jon Jones.”

Which is just about as generic a statement as you’d expect. Should the UFC be putting in extra measures to assure ‘Bones’ makes it to UFC 197 on April 23? Otherwise, we might find ‘DC’ facing a substitute, or worse no opponent in his scheduled third title defense.
