Twitter Reacts To Jon Jones' 15-Month USADA Suspension And Possible UFC 230 Return

Jon Jones has been cleared to return to the UFC Octagon on October 28 after an independent arbitrator handed him a 15-month suspension following a positive drug test last July.

For the full story of Jones’ case – SEE HERE

With Jones now elligible to return at the end of October, rumours of a possible showdown with Alexander Gustafsson are doing the rounds and suffice to say there’s been no shortage of reactions from the MMA community.

Here’s the pick of the bunch:

No shade to JJ but no one is surprised by this arbitrary decision , USADA is steadily losing respect in the fight community to the point of questioning why they even exist ? https://t.co/AhVmwBvBEr

I told Dana White the obvious assumption everyone is making is Jon Jones will headline MSG on 11/3. He replied, “not true.”

They're all on steroids?
How do you deter a repeat drug user? Dont test him when suspended. Dont give him the 4yr or 2yr suspensions. Instead gift him a 15month deal expiring a week before one of the biggest shows in #NewYork #MoneyTalks @ufc @usantidoping @UFC_CA @dc_mma https://t.co/FXlZhqVLQs
