Yeah that's gonna fuck with his mind. Especially the 2nd fight. It was close as hell until the KO
Provided Jones was using PED's who knows how that fight would have played out if he was clean considering how close it was

All you have to do to see how much PED's help in MMA is to look at TRT Vitor vs current Vitor.
Its a damn big difference, especially in a sport so physical
Nah, DC is champ again, making champ money, has kept his sponsors, and is doing his side broadcasting thing. Jones lost his sponsors and won't be working for years. Not any way to twist DC into the real loser. I mean I'm sure Cormier would have rather won that fight but he'll get at least one more big title defense (and his legacy remains untarnished).

Yeah the guy is a consummate professional and great human being as well. Through this entire thing he's got tons of fan hate and taken his only losses in his career to a cheater.
A dude that legit doesn't deserve the shit he's been drug through
I'm not sure why people hate him.
People fear what they don't understand. They hate what they can't conquer. That's just the theory of man.

I am one of those who did for awhile and I'm not even sure why I did. Just came off as cornball to me I guess? Him doing commentary and all this garbage surrounding him with Jones has really made me respect the guy and admire what a pro he is.

I agree. Look at the Jones vs Gus fight. Jones pushed himself in that 5th round to edge out Gus when both were dead tired. No way Jones does that clean.

I think its a few things.
Jones in the cage has never been anything short of greatness. That's exciting as hell to watch and is going to earn him good will. DC didn't do himself any favors with the Anderson Fight where he took it very safe. Then you combo it with Jones being the "Redemption Story" and DC being the "Fake / Paper Champ" and people Boo him and root for Jones instead.
But that shit should be over now. DC is a great guy, an excellent fighter. Meanwhile this is what Jon Jones has given us over the last few years
His story is pretty inspiring. Lost a father at the age of seven, and then his own daughter when she was only three months. Anyone who's lost someone close to them knows how destructive grief is, yet the man persevered, competed in the Olympics, and became one of the best MMA fighters.

Jones is still the champion though like the last time he failed, right? Let's ignore reality once more.
Stupid.

And Jones lost the Brock fight.
Let haters pretend the title is vacant in his next title defense. Who cares.

I don't see how Jones still has a defense force on this being a "mistake".
DC has been tested for the last 12 straight years under USADA and never failed a test. Jones has failed multiple time in the last 3. The dude is dopeing

At least he is consistent...

I honestly hope at the very least he finds a way to get his personal life straight. He's got kids and shit. I wouldn't wish the life of an addict father on them.
Yeah, that would have been millions between show money and the PPV points. Between this lost fight, other past lost fights, and losing his Nike sponsorship, the dude has gutted his earning potential.
I believe he could lose up to 40% of his purse from the DC fight now as well? He's fucked.
"You think someone would do such a thing? Go on the internet and tell lies?"
Breh, you got popped multiple times.
He swore on his kids...cmon man don't do that. Jones is such trash.

I believe him.
We know he somehow took a steroid, we just don't know how he did.
Maybe someone close to him steered him wrong somehow.

He ain't getting another opportunity to be stripped of anything until at least 2020, hopefully much longer

I too believe the guy who fucked up just fine all by himself the previous 5 times had help to fuck up this 6th time

I mean... fuck no. The guy's been an addict before. You can't trust an addict or former addict when they swear on their family.

Lol, this is like PR from like 2002 or something, nobody buys that shit anymore if they ever did.

What if Greg Jackson gave him steroids but told him they were cocaine?

He was just at one of those parties, where people pass around steroids.
