Former UFC light heavyweight champion and former pound-for-pound Jon “Bones” Jones is suspended until July 2017 after failing a USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency) administered drug test surrounding his scheduled UFC 200 (July 9, 2016) rematch with Daniel Cormier. Jones tested positive for multiple estrogen blockers that were found in a tainted sexual enhancement pill.
While he cannot compete in a mixed martial arts contest at the moment, Jones will be grappling MMA legend Dan Henderson at Submission Underground 2 this weekend.
He’s also apparently gotten back to powerlifting, as he recently posted a video of himself deadlifting a whopping 600 pounds, while also making a joke about his drug test:
After being stripped of his title due to legal issues in 2015, “Bones” turned to powerlifting as an outlet and he ended up getting very strong very quickly. His coach Greg Jackson, however, felt as if the lifting hindered his endurance in his return bout against Ovince Saint Preux at last April’s UFC 197.
What form of Jones do you expect to return next summer?
