Well, Chael knows how to fail a test or three...
Put the man in front of a mic.
Him and Jones at UFC 183.
I can confirm this...or at least the guy I'm working with doesn't think so and, well, he'd probably know
He will never be blacklisted from the sport. Dana White has already released a statement of support. He's one of their biggest stars (UFC fans love to hate him, and his latest PPV is drawing 750k plus), and it would make no sense from a business standpoint to get rid of him.
And who cares? Unlike steroids, I doubt doing coke at some parties was giving him any tangible performance benefits.
Gustaffson got soundly beat 3-2, and you can easily make the argument that he lost 4-1. Do yourself a favor and watch the match muted.

These two statements together are funny.
But, yeah, of course not shit is going to happen to him over this. No inside info needed, just common sense.

We don't know the full story.. Just because he has entered rehab, doesn't necessarily mean Jones is an addict or continual substance abuser.
haha
who just openly admits to snitching? i guess when you got the eye poke of doom in your arsenal you don't give a fuck but damn.

And that matters why? If I went into my job and was randomly tested and failed for cocaine, do you think I'd still have a job?
Obviously, he knew there was an issue.....
What the fuck is wrong with you people?
No, unless you're one of a handful of people that can do your job in the world.

Jon Jones is not an employee of the UFC and was not tested by his employer.

The difference here is that this test didn't occur while he was "working."
And goin into Rehab, for people in the public eye, isn't always because they're at a point where they need it.. but as a PR move to show the public that they're doing something about it.
Even when it came down to logistics, simple things like cutting weight twice in three weeks, Cerrone said he barely considered (or cared) about any potential ramifications.
"I don't have an answer for you on that one," Cerrone replied, chuckling again. "[That's] probably damaging, for sure. But so is cocaine and alcohol, so I think this is a little less."

ALRIGHT ALRIGHT SETTLE DOWN RONDA FUCK
I bet he does a line and then without a hint of irony yells "YEEHAW"

Exactly.
Yeah, but you aren't the P4P #1, future GOAT, and I doubt you have made your company millions and millions of dollars. You're more replaceable than Jones.

I always though coke was completely out of your sytem after a day or two. You'd pretty much have to be an addict to get caught using that drug.

For sure. Cerrone's spare time activities include wakeboarding and bullriding. During the post fight press conference, the motherfucker was chewing tobacco and using an empty Budweiser bottle as a spittle.
If he wasn't snorting coke off the asses of groupies during the after party, I would be sorely disappointed.

I have more of a problem of him calling himself a patron saint for getting his kids xmas presents and bragging about it than him doing coke.

He was randomly tested for drugs so it might have been something he was doing the night before while banging some groupies.

Jones should snitch on teammates. Frank Mir and Overeem look suspect.
If its true its very sad. Children look up to sport figures. No one ask them to but they do. Hard drug or not it has been proven that Cocaine does do damage to a person body. It can cause brain damage. If its not band it should.Kids and even adults look at Jones and say " If he can do it and he's a fit athlete then I can do it and I'll be fine" That's where an addiction begins IMO.

Would have a point except the UFC and every other sport is littered with alcohol sponsorships and ads.
What do you think about celebrities drinking Hennessy, Patron, Ciroc and the likes on ads, instagram etc? Not considering the legality of course.

You won't find much better stories in sports. A kid who got in trouble in his teens turned his life around through MMA.
Or maybe he should a crack head in his late 20s while representing a multi million dollar corporation.
I'm fairly sure my nephew will be fine going through 2nd grade without snorting cocaine. Besides, he can't even afford it.

ITT I've had my suspicion confirmed that average person has no clue what the effects of coke are and how bad it actually is for you.

MMA isn't cycling though. I could potentially see how a bump before a fight could help focus someone though.

While reading Bones Jones's statement, I was struck by the strangeness of him apologizing to his fiance because it seems to me that he's been engaged to her for a very long time. So I did a little bit of research and ballerswives.com has an article dated March 10, 2011 in which they offer a very cursory bio of this fiancee, along with this quote:
So if ballerswives.com is correct, and given their longstanding history of accuracy, Bones Jones has been "engaged" for at least four years. Do you think this woman actually believes that Bones Jones, who accepts fellatio from drunk young ladies, and openly gives his numbers to waitresses in the presence of a journalist, is going to actually marry her?

the gustafsson rematch is that much further away.

Doesn't sound like he'll ever be faithful. But if he stuck with her this long, why wouldn't he marry her at some point?

From this thread, it seems as if absolutely no one gives a shit. So who can tell anymore.

LOL!
Just like how when I was hired, a completely different company did a drug test on me. Brilliant excuse....And I don't give a damn about your "posts" in the MMA thread. That's idiotic.

I guess a better question is why hasn't he married her already? They have three children together, and from my understanding of the Christian faith, of which Bones Jones is a devout follower of, having children out of wedlock is frowned upon.

maybe he doesn't want to pay child support lol
He's been with her since high school. He's 27 now.
