Romero's case was different. He didn't get that DUI, he didn't scratch that 151 card, he didn't get flagged for cocaine, he didn't almost kill a pregnant woman. Jones had too many chances and was on very thin ice. Even if it was a tainted supplement, he is still at fault.
+themanwithnoname0123 ii wouldnt say "cheating" hes never failed a pest for peds before and theres a strong chance it was a tainted supplement but you have to remember hes been tested alot threw out his career and this is his first positive test...im not arguing with you its just i thinks hes earned the right to be innocent until proven guilty

i get what ur saying but i mean it's still happening and there's a possibility that him and his team were not thorough enough to notice something in his supplements. its his sample and his name so he's doing the right thing for now by apologizing
+Alex reza exactly. it is a good PR move, and probably suggested by his manager. I feel for the man. I am starting to belive he is innocent. I would have never called it... anyone but Jon.
1. He's a champion, he wants to be the best, not just a guy with 10 million 2. He can make a 100 million, and this stops that from happening. 3. He's invested months of training and effort into this fight, all of that just got flushed down the toilet, on top of that if he gets a 2 year suspension, then he can kiss his chance at glory goodbye.
+RVM Coates i dont think its onnions...he went back to make up his mind to brake down or not...thats what i think ...with all the respect when will he lern...its will be a big lost for the fans 1st than for the UFC!his ok with money no doubt...If he really feels bad ..i kind feel for him tho he deserves it all of this...q
He's as disingenuous as it comes but in this case the crying may be genuine. He knows his career is over and he'll be spending the next few decades working at Wal-Mart.
His crying is true..when your legacy is in the fences because you may have just popped out for peds and when you may get a ban from fighting for a long time and lose so much money from such a huge event like ufc 200..yes its legit crying..
Athletes need to be very careful with what they ingest. My girlfriend is a professional athlete and gets tested for PED's. I have very high levels of testosterone and she had regularly been ingesting my sperm for a little over a month before being tested. This ended up elevating her testosterone levels and caused her to fail a test. True story.
+Thizzy Marley No in fact I'm not a Conor mc Gregor fan, I support Jon Jones cos he's relatable, he makes mistakes just like all of us, not only dat he is one of the best fighter in the history of UFC
I took a communications class in college and we did a lot about body language. One day we watched footage of murderers denying what they did in interrogations and the most common way investigators know if someones lying is that when someone is falsely accused of something extremely damming that they didn't do, they get mad not sad... also the fact that he's apologizing for something he supposedly didn't do doesn't help either.
Greatest athlete ever in UFC history, the emotion is real, sports play such a huge role in our lives, imagine being in the athletes shoes and being on the rise to have everything stripped away from you.. Absolutely this is real, and no one is to blame but him for it but I respect his talent, and I think he'll go down as either one of the greatest or just another statistic...
he could've been taking supplements that were tainted with steroids, similar to what happened to chad mendes recently. the hate wagon of the internet is so vile. you kids who comment are pathetic
Logic would tell you, you really have no clue what are in these unregulated supplements. It has been well documented that they have mislead the general public and even your average consumer about the contents within. Not saying that is the case, but don't trust these companies.
Poor guy, you could really tell he's dealing with a lot. Imagine feeling like that and having all these people ask you these questions while you're sitting there on a stage.
I might be reading too much into it, but given how smart Chael is, I wonder if he believes that Jon is innocent and is implying it by the way he structured his question; - He begins with a reminder on Jon's incomparable talent (reason to not need to cheat) - He commends Jon's courage for facing the media immediately after receiving the news (wouldn't a cheater not do any press or answer any questions for at least a day to plan out his next moves/statements, instead of freestyling excuses in front of the press?) - He then sets Jon up with a double bind implying innocence. (Jon answers optimally with "both", although either answer would've sufficed) I think Jon is innocent here and this might be another Romero type of situation. Either way, whether you like Jon or not, society needs to stop judging before all the facts come out. Due process and the presumption of innocence are practically dead these days and it ruins lives.
Thank you. Whether you believe it or not. Jones doesn't need anything for performance enhancement. Like they said. He passed every single test before this one last month. Just sucks that they weren't careful enough to really check out if supplements contain any violations. I believe Jon no matter who hates him, he's a all time great. Wish the best for him in his life. My favorite fighter and was very disappointed but I can't judge him.
+Nathaniel Chong-gum just cause you pass drug test doesn't mean your not taking drugs lance arm strong passed every single test before he retired they never caught him
+eduardo Terrazas yeah I understand he obviously was caught under a performance enhancement substance but it's unfortunate that he never thought this would happen and it sucks this fight couldn't happen. I believe he didn't intentionally take this cause he doesn't need it but overall it just happened that he obtained that substance and it is how it is.
+Nathaniel Chong-gum Dude EVERYONE IS ON STEROIDS! He knew intentionally what he's taking and he does need it if you don't dope you won't cope he would get murderered with out steroids just like every other fighter In ufc because every fighter is on some PED even Cormier is on something Forsure he was in the olympics lol I don't know man people are just so far from the truth it's crazy how you could say he doesn't need it but I understand I used to think the majority of athletes were clean and only scumbag cheaters cheat but than I find out the truth it's not even cheating if literally 100% of fighters are on it but That's just what you gotta do you want to be in the ufc you better find a good doctor and get some good gear because everyone else does and most these guys been taking gas since there college wrestling days and Jon jones has 2 brothers in the nfl and if you think you can make it in the nfl without gear it's over
+eduardo Terrazas gear is necessary to survive not getting hurt or even killed in the nfl. Whether or not they use drugs jones creativity in his skill for fighting is way different from almost everyone in the UFC which is why I say he doesn't need it whether or not he used it he fights smarter than most and tactical. Which is why he is considered the goat.
If people don't think professional athletes know exactly what they're taking, it's because those people are uninformed outsiders. I know and train with mma guys and pro bodybuilders... they ALL know EXACTLY what's being put in their bodies. The idea that Jon Jones - multimillionaire/celebrity/champion - doesn't know what he's taking is ludicrous.
It's naive to think otherwise. To plays devils advocate some legal over the counter supplements have been known to be tampered with illegal substances to boost their effectiveness.
True... but I'd hope a millionaire with managers/agents and nutritionists would know better. If you were Jon Jones, would you be taking "proprietary blend" supplements that could be tainted? One month prior to the biggest fight of your life? Knowing about the increased PED testing? I bet you wouldn't. Unless it's something you've been doing for a while. I've also seen some pictures recently that look like Jon has been injecting "something" into his stomach, probably HGH or insulin. The only reason why I'm so confident when I say "professional athletes know what they're taking," is because I've trained with and become friends with mma guys and bodybuilders. I live in Vegas and I've trained at Wanderlei's and Extreme Couture. My friend is a strength and conditioning coach for Wand Fight Team. If you want to see a pro fighter squirm... ask him if he's ever taken a banned substance.
I was just playing devils advocate, specifically in regards to what had happened with Yoel. I had heard that he got popped from a supplement and USADA actually went and bought some samples themselves and found them contaminated. Thought Jon might deserve the benefit of doubt until proven otherwise.
Dont wanna say it but hes right. Everybody is using some roids or peds at a certain level. In football, basketball, baseball, soccer, running, cycling... At a certain level of competetion there all on roids.
Just cause he failed a drug test doesn't mean he is using PEDs, it could a supplement he is taking that makes it comeback positive and thats why they're testing the sample B.
Anyone thats a true MMA fan knows, that competition is what keeps fighters going. And anyone will know that a 2 year suspension away from doing what you love tears you apart, knowing what you take so close and put so much time in is now 2 year away. You can tell this is genuine and out of his character. When one of the press said "they were speaking of a 2 year suspension" he legitimately looked like his damn life was taken away. Jones is an athlete and a damn great one, every has mistakes. And this dude deserves the damn credibility.. He never lost and this isn't a loss either.
I feel very skeptical about how genuine he was being. it seemed like he had to muster those tears. and he was a bit of a diva when he asked that lady for a tissue. he digs his own grave. hard to feel bad for him
Ron Av I love when people go to Coke with Jon because it's funny he's admitted it and it makes him human, when people go after the steroids it's so much more objective and debatable than people think
He's apologizing because even if he didn't take a PED he still didn't properly manage the supplements he was taking and as a result a fight that many people were looking forward to is now canceled.
I'm questioning why he's sad, and not outraged? A normal reaction, if you had not taken drugs (purposely), would be anger and frustration. If it was me I would be angry at this conference and claiming my innocence.
I'm not blaming him, I just don't think that's a normal reaction for anyone when wrongfully accused of something you didn't do. try to place yourself in his shoes. He says he has never taken drugs, and he's not that sort of guy. He prides himself on being clean. is crying and being speechless the reaction you would have? I doubt it.
As much as I despise Jones, his UFC/MMA career isn't over. He's only 28 and will be 30 when his ban is up. There are guys in the UFC who are competing in their mid-to-late 30s. Let's not forget that Jones is arguably the greatest talent in the history of MMA; he's not just any ordinary fighter. Again, this is coming from someone who hates him.
As you said Jon, at the end of the day you're a fighter, even if you seem broken, you're just being upset. Keep fighting mate. You're not the only one, most people are 'fighting' their own kind of fight.
Excerpts from his new book: 'Jon Jones' Guide to Getting Out of Trouble' a New York Times Best Seller 1: People are susceptible to coercive suggestion. So whenever you get caught doing something bad just continually say things like "I'm really optimistic", "Some good will come of this." In this way you convince others that the bad thing you did is really a good thing! 2: Got caught doing something bad? Just blame it all on God! Say things like "God has a plan", "God has a purpose." In this way it's not your fault anymore, it's God's fault!
well wtf do you think strenght training does? it makes u bigger obviously, why would PED have to be involved, ive done strenght training myself and gained 40 pounds within 1 year mostly muscles cause i kept a good diet and ate alot
G.N.S Yeah you're right. I just dont see how people can be happy about seeing others in pain though. Its like people have forgotten simple basic morality. It just sickens me.
I literally believe that because he did coke and smokes weeds . That's why people think he purposely took these PED . I doubt Jon took them on purposely stuff like this happens to athletics all the damn time.... But Jon has a terrible reputation so these are the results
'All the damn time' - doesnt happen that often in the UFC... I dont know if he purposely took them because every fighter will deny taking them. Maybe he did take then accidentally and when we find out what PED was taken then that could help us figure out if he did take them knowingly or not.
20:33 Did Jon not understand the question? How could it be both? He didn't take it? Or he didn't know it was on the banned list? So, he didn't know it was on the banned list so he doesn't remember taking it? Either way, Malki Kawa got a knot in his chest. Was he worried Jon would say the wrong thing? Or was he worried Jon would say something stupid.
So now there is discussion of him possibly testing positive for two banned substances? Apparently, Dana White spoke about it on "The Herd" show so It's hard to understand why someone would not contact USADA and ask them questions about ANY supplement before they take it including those that they have been taking for years.
Lowell My question was referring to the denial of ingesting PED's. I'm not sure if he's lying or not. He seems surprised that that there was something in his system, but it sounds like he takes a lot of supplements, so it's really hard to tell. Also, a lot of athletes taking PED's will willfully deny, so there's that.
ActronJimmy Ah, okay. Until we find out the exact drug for which he tested positive, I don't know for certain if Jones is being honest. Testing positive for cocaine or elevated levels of testosterone, for example, is unforgivable. I really wish the guy sitting next to Jones had divulged that information because he said he knows what Jones tested positive for.
Lowell They said that it has to be a PED because cocaine, heroin, etc and/or prescription stims wouldn't be a violation. So it's definitely a PED, just not sure what PED. We should find out soon enough.
the reporters kept asking over and over and over what the sample was and his manger kept saying not at this time. reporters need to open there ears and quit asking the same question over and over again.
at Cruz weight class though it is very close i make Cruz just no1 over DJ both have beaten just about everyone in there divisions now a rematch would be brilliant
+John Williams Mighty Mouse is better now than when they first fought and MM walks around at 141 pounds(source: his own mouth on the JRE), while I'm pretty sure Cruz walks around at close to 160. It's amazing that MM did as well as he did. That's like Cruz fighting GSP or at least some Featherweight like Conor or Aldo.
Damn how could neither man or woman sitting up there with Jon not hug or pat his back when they saw him super emotional and breaking down as reporters smothered him with questions. I would have tried to comfort him somehow instead of just sit and stare at the man completely crying is heart out especially this time after all the constant crap Jones has been through
Francois Roos I know it's two years later but he chose to because he wanted to tell people he was innocent, most guys who are caught who actually did it stay out of the lime light
Im a DC fan but I'm pulling for you Jon. I think you're an amazing talent and this isn't the end. keep you're head in the game and we'll see the best DC and Jon Bones Jones face off ever in the future. God bless.
I believe Jones indeed, didn't know what he was taking. I don't believe he's a cheater, but him getting caught this way does fits his careless, reckless behavior. Took strength to speak on this situation, hope it works out for him somehow.
+Thizzy Marley god damn you comment on everyone's post that supports jon in the slightest. Quit acting like you know everything and quit being such a hater you poor bitter man
"It's kind of therapeutic being up here". The road will be long and the temptations will only mount from here. Jon has a shot to overcome a mountain (self-imposed or otherwise). I wish him the best. But damn, poor DC. Glad to see him handle this devastating blow with class and refraining from assuming guilt on Jones and refusing to use the moment to pile on.

I'd rather see DC vs Chuck Liddell.
+Sigismund Schlomo Freud ahahahahahhahahahha that was so funny
He has to drop to heavyweight first
Romero's case was different. He didn't get that DUI, he didn't scratch that 151 card, he didn't get flagged for cocaine, he didn't almost kill a pregnant woman. Jones had too many chances and was on very thin ice. Even if it was a tainted supplement, he is still at fault.
You’re a hater and you’re page sucks
Facts man im scared to see whats going to happen with ufc 200 first nate vs connor now this smh
It's a shame. He made fun of d. C for crying post fight 182 n now he's in his shoes. I feel bad for em both don't want to see anyone in this position
theres a difference jones made dc cry and jones made himself cry
Jones just makes people cry...
In other words DC cried because he worked his hardest an lost, Jones cried because now we know he is a cheating fraud.
+themanwithnoname0123 ii wouldnt say "cheating" hes never failed a pest for peds before and theres a strong chance it was a tainted supplement but you have to remember hes been tested alot threw out his career and this is his first positive test...im not arguing with you its just i thinks hes earned the right to be innocent until proven guilty

If they deny it why is there an apology?
i get what ur saying but i mean it's still happening and there's a possibility that him and his team were not thorough enough to notice something in his supplements. its his sample and his name so he's doing the right thing for now by apologizing
I'm pretty sure the apology is for the fans that didn't get to see the fight
because the fight isn't happening
+Alex reza exactly. it is a good PR move, and probably suggested by his manager. I feel for the man. I am starting to belive he is innocent. I would have never called it... anyone but Jon.
right ?
So will Dana rip Jon for having a pity party? His kids will see this!!!
el oh el
anybody notice that John start crying after he come back? with this guy it's all fake!
that's what he want make it look like. his net worth is 10 million, what you need cry for?
you people, did you notice the fake Mars moon landing. Hey I hear its really a government set up.
his trainer told him "go cry on the press conference get some fans!"
1. He's a champion, he wants to be the best, not just a guy with 10 million
2. He can make a 100 million, and this stops that from happening.
3. He's invested months of training and effort into this fight, all of that just got flushed down the toilet, on top of that if he gets a 2 year suspension, then he can kiss his chance at glory goodbye.

Is Jon really playing the victim act again?
yes he is
Yes, that's what egomaniacs and addicts do.
are u kidding me hes not steroids supplements often have weird PED in them
+Gerry Mackenzie we will see at his hearing
Yeah hes not a real man
Mystic DC said it.. Jones will never change.
"You think ima sit here and let you disappoint me again Jon?"- Everyone
You want to feel bad for the guy, he's crying and all but idk if it's genuine.
He lost more money in a few moments than I will make in my lifetime. The crying is genuine for sure but he is still the same bone head.
He's as disingenuous as it comes but in this case the crying may be genuine. He knows his career is over and he'll be spending the next few decades working at Wal-Mart.
He's a fighter not an actor
I don't feel bad for him. He's a moron, no other way of saying it.
His crying is true..when your legacy is in the fences because you may have just popped out for peds and when you may get a ban from fighting for a long time and lose so much money from such a huge event like ufc 200..yes its legit crying..

Why do USADA take so long this was taken on 16th June the close timing makes this a whole lot worse.
They test it over and over again to be sure. It should have been sooner but it does take awhile.
right? i was so hyped for this match up
Sometimes it takes time for the chemicals to detect whatever sample they took, piss or blood or whatever
but the B sample was all done and dusted in 24hrs ?
+Glenn T they probably only ran the initial test, not all of the others that they run when it's detected.

say what? what are you on about. he's my favourite fighter in the ufc and im sick of his nonsense. the most talented but also the most idiotic.
Not just his fan's, everybody wanted to see this fight. he not only slapped us, he elbowed us from the top rope!
he could've been taking supplements that were tainted with steroids, similar to what happened to chad mendes recently. the hate wagon of the internet is so vile. you kids who comment are pathetic
Everyone blames it on tainted supplements... Sometimes it may be true... But logic dictates that most of the time its not.
nathan scott "he could've" learn to read kid, stay in school. don't do drugs
And I agree that he could have, I was just pointing out how unlikely it was.
Logic would tell you, you really have no clue what are in these unregulated supplements. It has been well documented that they have mislead the general public and even your average consumer about the contents within.
Not saying that is the case, but don't trust these companies.
I just sent this same comment
UFC should have a supplement system for its fighters so they won't go around buying contaminated products.
Poor guy, you could really tell he's dealing with a lot. Imagine feeling like that and having all these people ask you these questions while you're sitting there on a stage.

Any proof? No? Then shut up noob.

+Sangerino any proof he isn't?
Dont wanna say it but hes right. Everybody is using some roids or peds at a certain level. In football, basketball, baseball, soccer, running, cycling... At a certain level of competetion there all on roids.
Just cause he failed a drug test doesn't mean he is using PEDs, it could a supplement he is taking that makes it comeback positive and thats why they're testing the sample B.
Everyone knows he took steroids, the marks on his abs ain't lying.

And anyone will know that a 2 year suspension away from doing what you love tears you apart, knowing what you take so close and put so much time in is now 2 year away.

Jones is an athlete and a damn great one, every has mistakes. And this dude deserves the damn credibility.. He never lost and this isn't a loss either.
i was thinking the exact same thing : he cant be acting his demeanor, his feelings...impossible
Good job guys disliking this video totally affects Jon not SBN
what a nutfuck thing to say, DISLIKE!
lol
dislikes realistically hurt no one. People dont click off the video if they see dislikes. You cant see the dislike ratio before the video either.
youtube channels benefit from likes and dislikes
haha.
I feel very skeptical about how genuine he was being. it seemed like he had to muster those tears. and he was a bit of a diva when he asked that lady for a tissue. he digs his own grave. hard to feel bad for him
what are you talking about, you could clearly see he was struggling to talk, that my friend isnt acting, that is real tears he's trying to hold back
Cokehead u still there?
Ron Av I love when people go to Coke with Jon because it's funny he's admitted it and it makes him human, when people go after the steroids it's so much more objective and debatable than people think
"i'm a fighter".heartbreaking.the greatest of all time
so if you didn't do it why apologize? As a black man I'm losing faith in you Jon
cause the fight got cancelled..
He's apologizing because even if he didn't take a PED he still didn't properly manage the supplements he was taking and as a result a fight that many people were looking forward to is now canceled.
Man its so hard to see Jon like this, I could never imagine him falling this far.
That smirk at the beginning is the true Jone.
Jon jones should have walk into the press with brittney spears "ops i did it again"
I'm questioning why he's sad, and not outraged? A normal reaction, if you had not taken drugs (purposely), would be anger and frustration. If it was me I would be angry at this conference and claiming my innocence.
Glad everybody isn't you, cant blame a man for having a different approach to things than you
I'm not blaming him, I just don't think that's a normal reaction for anyone when wrongfully accused of something you didn't do.
try to place yourself in his shoes. He says he has never taken drugs, and he's not that sort of guy. He prides himself on being clean.
is crying and being speechless the reaction you would have? I doubt it.
+hasseb Sure am; it'd be the same if someone accused me of cheating (in a relationship).
everybody is different.
The Eyes, Chico, They Never Lie!
Stay strong, bro... Greetz from Holland, Rotterdam
5:00 jones running away from his problems like always
Still beat D.C tho
As much as I despise Jones, his UFC/MMA career isn't over. He's only 28 and will be 30 when his ban is up. There are guys in the UFC who are competing in their mid-to-late 30s. Let's not forget that Jones is arguably the greatest talent in the history of MMA; he's not just any ordinary fighter. Again, this is coming from someone who hates him.
That crying face is gonna power a million gifs and memes... the internet, oh you, be nice now.
Jordan crying face is about to get replaced by Jon jones crying face
Snapchat will turn it into a filter
WoW... Jones crying to u is the equivelant to Michael crying? Get a life & a real sport to follow dude...
the crying MJ meme shall not be dethroned
As you said Jon, at the end of the day you're a fighter, even if you seem broken, you're just being upset. Keep fighting mate. You're not the only one, most people are 'fighting' their own kind of fight.
Who's back here in 2017?
"Every year is my fookin year" - USADA
for some reason he looks guilty to me.
all black people look guilty yo you.
Because hes black and has rectangular eyes.
20:17 chael was so kind yet so savage 😂💀
When I die, I would like Jon Jones to lower me into the grave, so that he can let me down one last time.
Excerpts from his new book: 'Jon Jones' Guide to Getting Out of Trouble' a New York Times Best Seller
1: People are susceptible to coercive suggestion. So whenever you get caught doing something bad just continually say things like "I'm really optimistic", "Some good will come of this." In this way you convince others that the bad thing you did is really a good thing!
2: Got caught doing something bad? Just blame it all on God! Say things like "God has a plan", "God has a purpose." In this way it's not your fault anymore, it's God's fault!
You can see the regret in his eyes. He knows he used the PEDs.
well wtf do you think strenght training does? it makes u bigger obviously, why would PED have to be involved, ive done strenght training myself and gained 40 pounds within 1 year mostly muscles cause i kept a good diet and ate alot
Sad to how many ppl get pleasure out of watching another man down...GOAT
its sad, it shows how sick some mma fans are.
+Armand Hawes not only mma fans but people in general...
G.N.S Yeah you're right. I just dont see how people can be happy about seeing others in pain though. Its like people have forgotten simple basic morality. It just sickens me.
+Armand Hawes makes them feel less shitty about themselves
G.N.S Yea i thats what I think it boils down to.
in the words of Nate Diaz "everybody is on steroids"
I literally believe that because he did coke and smokes weeds . That's why people think he purposely took these PED .
I doubt Jon took them on purposely stuff like this happens to athletics all the damn time....
But Jon has a terrible reputation so these are the results
'All the damn time' - doesnt happen that often in the UFC... I dont know if he purposely took them because every fighter will deny taking them. Maybe he did take then accidentally and when we find out what PED was taken then that could help us figure out if he did take them knowingly or not.
It doesn't happen often in the UFC? Are you smoking meth? The UFC was built on PEDS and many of the best have been tested positive for PEDS.
***** They don't wash their mixing machine? Ugh...no. They intentionally choose not to disclose what is really in these products.
He got two banned substances and USADA gives two years for PED use which Dana said is what he might get.
Malki, control your boy!
malki loves cocaine too
+YoutubSUCKZ and drag racing
Dc wasnt shy to show he was emotional,,Jon is a coward and runs off ,,doesnt act as a falsely acused either.
the Jones lovers in here are very similar to him it seems
20:33 Did Jon not understand the question? How could it be both? He didn't take it? Or he didn't know it was on the banned list? So, he didn't know it was on the banned list so he doesn't remember taking it? Either way, Malki Kawa got a knot in his chest. Was he worried Jon would say the wrong thing? Or was he worried Jon would say something stupid.
Who's here before UFC 232?
Christian Wendt stfu
Just call OSP to fight DC, and let Jon Jones join Bellator.. See ya!
I just wanna know who's been fooled by his crocodile tears?
There comes a point in life when apologies do not do much at all! Actions, actions are what matters at the end of the day.
shows strength for a man to cry..This could get him banned for 2 years or more
I didnt say jon ..im just saying it in general "shows strength for a man to cry" but i know what you mean tho.
He tested for 2 substances, so there's a possibility of 4 years
Aditya Jhanwar indeed
+AbsoluteMMA101 he doesn't have to be in the UFC to fight. he could go elsewhere and continue fighting until his suspension is over.
rapinbatches he's still under contract
WTF am I still seeing sympathy for this criminal? Lock this child up already.
20:30 Is that Chael? Sounds like Chael.
100%
So now there is discussion of him possibly testing positive for two banned substances? Apparently, Dana White spoke about it on "The Herd" show so It's hard to understand why someone would not contact USADA and ask them questions about ANY supplement before they take it including those that they have been taking for years.
Anyone think he's lying???
There are clues when he speaks that support your claim.
What do you think he's lying about? Can you be precise?
Lowell My question was referring to the denial of ingesting PED's. I'm not sure if he's lying or not. He seems surprised that that there was something in his system, but it sounds like he takes a lot of supplements, so it's really hard to tell. Also, a lot of athletes taking PED's will willfully deny, so there's that.
ActronJimmy Ah, okay. Until we find out the exact drug for which he tested positive, I don't know for certain if Jones is being honest. Testing positive for cocaine or elevated levels of testosterone, for example, is unforgivable. I really wish the guy sitting next to Jones had divulged that information because he said he knows what Jones tested positive for.
Lowell They said that it has to be a PED because cocaine, heroin, etc and/or prescription stims wouldn't be a violation. So it's definitely a PED, just not sure what PED. We should find out soon enough.
That was a brutal press conference!
*Jon crying* Reporter- "How do you feel right now?"
So cringe-worthy!
the reporters kept asking over and over and over what the sample was and his manger kept saying not at this time. reporters need to open there ears and quit asking the same question over and over again.
Dominick Cruz is now the best PFP fighter in the world.
Mighty Mouse is the best P4P
+EpicXskillzHD Cruz beat him.
at Cruz weight class though it is very close i make Cruz just no1 over DJ both have beaten just about everyone in there divisions now a rematch would be brilliant
+John Williams Mighty Mouse is better now than when they first fought and MM walks around at 141 pounds(source: his own mouth on the JRE), while I'm pretty sure Cruz walks around at close to 160. It's amazing that MM did as well as he did. That's like Cruz fighting GSP or at least some Featherweight like Conor or Aldo.
According to UFC.com, it's Mighty Mouse.
"I'm sure you all know who I am" - No clue, lady.
2 years for john jones 😕that was realy stupide... and all this he is responsable
Here's a question, how come sample A takes 3-4 weeks to test, and sample B can be tested overnight?
Why would you not name the substance he allegedly got popped for and why not name the supplements that he is taking?
Absolutely. Good point. The obvious reason is because he knows he's been caught cheating.
cause he can't even pronounce it
He is sponsored by GAT supplements and one of the ingredients is testagen which is banned but idk
Damn how could neither man or woman sitting up there with Jon not hug or pat his back when they saw him super emotional and breaking down as reporters smothered him with questions. I would have tried to comfort him somehow instead of just sit and stare at the man completely crying is heart out especially this time after all the constant crap Jones has been through
The UFC needs to release Jon Jones. Enough is enough. Get him out.
When Jon Jones nutritionist said he needed juice to make his muscles big, he meant Kale Juice, not Donkey Juice....
damn the dude is clearly emotional why are they forcing him to go through this??
Francois Roos cause he is a cheating looser
Francois Roos I know it's two years later but he chose to because he wanted to tell people he was innocent, most guys who are caught who actually did it stay out of the lime light
these reporters always ask questions. THAT YOU ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER TO!!! geezus lol
lets hope the b sample is clean then he may have a chance fighting again
Odds are very slim.
+Sangerino yup
I'm hoping for that too but the way Jon acted in the presser it's as if he knows he messed up.
It was positive. RIP. Unless he can prove the supplements were contaminated he's screwed
it was positive
Im a DC fan but I'm pulling for you Jon. I think you're an amazing talent and this isn't the end. keep you're head in the game and we'll see the best DC and Jon Bones Jones face off ever in the future. God bless.
GAT supplements?
yer maybe pre workout?
Well I for one can't wait for the (probably) 20 minute International Fight Week Focus series by Esther Lin.
I believe Jones indeed, didn't know what he was taking. I don't believe he's a cheater, but him getting caught this way does fits his careless, reckless behavior. Took strength to speak on this situation, hope it works out for him somehow.
+Thizzy Marley god damn you comment on everyone's post that supports jon in the slightest. Quit acting like you know everything and quit being such a hater you poor bitter man
agree, plus the fact he doesn't need peds to win so why risk a moment like this in the 1st place
I also agree. There is some kind of bad vibes about this sudden decision.
"You wanna fight me?Fight these tears!" Dmx
still the greatest fighter UFC's ever had.
ACosmicFuckYou no
"It's kind of therapeutic being up here". The road will be long and the temptations will only mount from here. Jon has a shot to overcome a mountain (self-imposed or otherwise). I wish him the best.
But damn, poor DC. Glad to see him handle this devastating blow with class and refraining from assuming guilt on Jones and refusing to use the moment to pile on.
People believe this stuff?
Seems like he being genuine

ufc 151 cancelled and damaged ufc 200 .Thank you very much jon jones
i hope he is not cheating and wish him all the best
im a fight fan , i just really want to see Jon Jones fight again, hes up there for the all time best
It's funny how everyone earlier were booing DC. And now they hating on Jones. It's still not proved that he took any PEDs. Feel bad for both of them.

I am done with Jones. He will never change.
Damn this sucks
