    Daniel Cormier didn’t have to wait long to get a chance to share his opinion on the Jon Jones verdict. Appearing in his role as an analyst on UFC Tonight, Cormier was immediately asked by co-host Kenny Florian to discuss the news regarding Jones receiving a 15-month suspension from the USADA on Wednesday for a failed drug test stemming from a sample taken in July of last year. Cormier and Jones have a storied rivalry, including two championship bouts that both ended with Jones’s hand being raised (their second encounter at UFC 214 was overturned to a no-contest as a result of Jones’s positive test, leading to Cormier retaining his title), but he didn’t sound enthusiastic about having to answer questions concerning Jones yet again. In the time since their last fight, Cormier recorded a successful defense of the UFC light heavyweight championship in January, then went on to win the heavyweight title from Stipe Miocic the following July. To him, that’s all that needs to be talked about. “I’m the UFC double champion,” Cormier said. “I have bosses in the back and I’m talking about this guy because I have to. I’ve moved past that. I went about my business. I went and won another title. This guy, I guess now his suspension’s up. So we’ll see what happens.” Asked if there was any chance of Cormier taking on Jones a third time, he didn’t dismiss the idea, but made it clear that his focus is on an impending heavyweight title defense against former UFC champion and WWE star Brock Lesnar. “I think people get excited, people get excited about the prospect of us fighting again, but I’ve got a fight with Brock Lesnar,” Cormier said. “Why would I look back? Why would I look back to Jones now when I’ve got a fight? “Obviously, as a competitor I want to fight the guy. He’s beaten me twice. But I’ve got a fight. Why go back? This is a bigger fight. I’ve got a bigger fight with Brock Lesnar. Why should I go back?” Arbitrators ruled that Jones had unknowingly taken a tainted supplement, which was also part of the defense that Jones’s team employed when he tested positive for a banned substance in July 2016. Cormier did not outright question the verdict nor the veracity of Jones’s testimony, but he offered a glib response in evaluating USADA’s decision-making. “Again, it is what it is. Here’s the deal, when it comes to USADA, they can’t come to my house anymore at 6 a.m,” Cormier said. “What’s the point? They’ve been to my house 15 times, enough. “USADA, don’t come to my house anymore. You don’t need to. You don’t need to come. I’m not gonna fail a test, I’m not gonna make any mistakes. I’m not gonna have to sit up there and go, ‘I’m serious this time, guys. I promise I wasn’t really trying to cheat.’ It’s never gonna happen with me. 70 times, 70 times since I started wrestling internationally and I have never made a mistake. It’s not that hard. So even me having to sit here and do this again shows that guys are ridiculous.” See the UFC Tonight segment below: Following USADA's official ruling on Jon Jones, @dc_mma speaks on the possibility of DC vs Jones 3. pic.twitter.com/MVQSOY83dg — FOX Sports: UFC (@UFCONFOX) September 20, 2018 Afficher l’article complet

    Gallery Photos: Best of Daniel Cormier view 52 images It didn’t take long for dual-UFC champ Daniel Cormier to offer an opinion on Jon Jones’ 15-month suspension, which was announced today by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA). Cormier (21-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC), who was Jones’ (22-1 MMA, opponent at UFC 214 in July 2017 when “Bones” flunked his drug test, hosted tonight’s episode of “UFC Tonight” on FS1, which aired just minutes after it was announced Jones had reached an arbitration decision with USADA that will allow him to return as of Oct. 28. Related Jon Jones releases statement after USADA suspension: 'Comeback season begins now' Twitter reacts to Jon Jones' USADA suspension, possible UFC 230 return For starters, Cormier gave his instant reaction to the situation and noted that he was only talking about Jones because it’s part of his television duties (via Twitter): Following USADA's official ruling on Jon Jones, @dc_mma speaks on the possibility of DC vs Jones 3. pic.twitter.com/MVQSOY83dg — FOX Sports: UFC (@UFCONFOX) September 20, 2018 “I’m the UFC double champion,” Cormier said. “I have bosses in the back and I’m talking about this guy because I have too. I’ve moved past that guy. I went about my business. I went and won another title. Now this guy’s suspension is up, so we’ll see what happens.” Cormier’s co-host Kenny Florian then asked Cormier if he would be interested in a third matchup with his longtime rival now that it’s a realistic possibility. “DC” didn’t show much interested in a trilogy and pointed to the fact he has a matchup with Brock Lesnar tentatively lined up for early next year. Related Jon Jones says Daniel Cormier 'too fast' for Brock Lesnar, picks UFC champ to retain title “I think people get excited, people get excited about the prospect of us fighting again, but I’ve got a fight with Brock Lesnar. Why would I look back? Why would I look back to Jones now when I’ve got a fight? Obviously as a competitor I want to fight the guy whose beat me twice, but I’ve got a fight. Why go back? I’ve got a bigger fight with Brock Lesnar, why should I go back?” Like many others within the MMA community, Cormier questioned the circumstances around Jones’ suspension considering the fact he’s a multi-time offender. Other fighters have received sterner punishments for less under USADA, and in closing Cormier had a pointed message for the UFC’s doping partner. “Here’s the deal: When it comes to USADA, they can’t come to my house anymore at 6 a.m,” Cormier said. “What’s the point? They’ve been to my house 15 times. USADA, don’t come to my house anymore. You don’t need too. You don’t need to come. I’m not going to fail a test, I’m not going to make any mistakes, I’m not going to have to sit up there and go, ‘I’m serious this time, guys.

    Jon Jones is back. On Wednesday, it was reported by MMA Fighting that the former UFC light heavyweight champion had been given a 15-month suspension for his second failed drug test, which came from a sample collected in July of last year. That means Jones will be eligible to compete again on Oct. 28. Jones has long maintained his innocence and he took to social media shortly after the verdict became public to declare his comeback intentions. It’s difficult to express myself at this moment but I can definitely say my heart is filled with gratitude and appreciation. I want to thank all of you who have stood by me during the toughest stretch of my life. It has meant the world to me and always will. But now is the time to shift the focus front and center to the road ahead. Greatness is what I’m chasing and the path to reclaiming my throne is now officially open. Comeback Season begins now. When the term of Jones’s suspension is officially over in October, he will have been out of competition since UFC 214. There, the 31-year-old defeated Daniel Cormier via third-round head kick KO to reclaim the light heavyweight championship that he had previously vacated after he was arrested for his involvement in a hit-and-run in April 2015. However, Jones’s UFC 214 triumph and title win would later be stricken from the record when he tested positive for turinabol shortly afterward. It was the second failed drug test of Jones’s career, following an incident in July 2016 when he was flagged just days prior to UFC 200. He was scheduled to face Cormier in the main event of that show, but was forced to withdraw as a result of his positive test. For that infraction, Jones received a one-year suspension from the USADA. No indication has been given as to when Jones will actually be booked to fight again, so it remains to be seen when “comeback season” will officially begin. Afficher l’article complet

    Jon Jones could soon be seen fighting in the Octagon.

    Jon Jones has released a statement on his suspension announcement after reaching arbitration with the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA). Jones (22-1 MMA, 16-1 UFC), the former UFC light heavyweight champion, failed a drug test in July 2017 around the time of his UFC 214 fight with Daniel Cormier. He’s been dealing with the issue for more than a year, but today it was announced he reached an agreement with USADA and is eligible to return on Oct. 28. Not long after the decision was announced, Jones published a statement on social media expressing his gratitude to his supports and excitement to get back in the cage to regain UFC gold (via <a href=" It’s difficult to express myself at this moment but I can definitely say my heart is filled with gratitude and appreciation.

    Former UFC champ Jon Jones finally had his future unveiled today when it was announced he’d agreed to a 15-month suspension with the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) after going through arbitration. Jones (22-1 MMA, 16-1 UFC) failed a drug test around the time of his UFC 214 bout with Daniel Cormier in July 2017. It was his second incident involving a doping violation, but “Bones” managed to find a way to get less time than many expected and is cleared to fight Oct. 28, which is just days before UFC 230 in New York City on Nov. 3. The timing of the announcement caused much speculation within the MMA community about Jones’ situation.

    Jon Jones is eligible to come back to the UFC, and sooner than many expected. The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency on Wednesday night announced the former UFC light heavyweight champion has received a 15-month suspension for his second anti-doping offense, clearing the way for a potential octagon return at UFC 230. Jones, 31, faced up to a four-year term when he tested positive for turinabol after his rematch against current champ Daniel Cormier at UFC 214. The California State Athletic Commission subsequently revoked his license and issued a hefty fine, leading the UFC to strip him of the title he won via knockout. But the commission did not suspend him, leaving the issue to the UFC’s anti-doping partner. USADA’s decision is an unquestionably favorable outcome for the embattled former champion, who was given a one-year suspension after testing positive for multiple performance enhancers in connection with a canceled title unifier against Cormier at UFC 200 in July 2016. In its announcement, USADA said it imposed the 15-month suspension after an evidentiary hearing with an independent arbitrator on September 15. Even before the hearing, though, USADA said the suspension length was reduced by 30 months “based on Jones’ delivery of substantial assistance.” “The independent arbitrator found that Jon Jones was not intentionally cheating in this case, and while we thought 18 months was the appropriate sanction given the other circumstances of the case, we respect the arbitrator’s decision and believe that justice was served,” USADA CEO Travis T. Tygart said in a statement. Jones’ suspension is retroactive to July 28, 2017, the date his positive sample was collected, making him eligible on Oct. 28. His eligibility falls just five days prior to UFC 230, which takes place Nov. 3 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Jones has been heavily rumored to be in consideration as a headliner for the show, which lacks a main event. For more on UFC 230, check out the UFC Rumors section of the site. Voir l'article complet

    Jon Jones might get the chance to headline a huge card in his home state after all. The former UFC light heavyweight champion — and one of the greatest to ever step in the Octagon — was given a 15-month suspension in his USADA case by an arbitrator, following his failed drug test for a steroid metabolite, multiple sources told MMA Fighting on Wednesday. The suspension is retroactive to when the sample was collected July 28, 2017 and Jones will be eligible to fight again Oct. 28. An official announcement from USADA with a full arbitrator decision is expected Wednesday night. The arbitrator’s decision means Jones would be eligible to fight at UFC 230 on Nov. 3 at New York’s Madison Square Garden, a card that is currently without a main event. Jones is a New York native. Jones tested positive for Turinabol in relation to his UFC 214 title fight with Daniel Cormier in July 2017. Jones won that fight by third-round knockout, but the result was overturned to a no contest by the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) following the positive drug test. In February, Jones had his MMA license revoked by CSAC and he was fined $205,000. CSAC executive officer Andy Foster said at the hearing he would honor the suspension length in the USADA case. Jones, 31, was facing a four-year USADA suspension as a second-time offender of the UFC’s anti-doping policy. “Bones” failed an out-of-competition drug test for two anti-estrogen agents in 2016, knocking him out of a main-event fight with Cormier at UFC 200. Jones was given a one-year suspension by an arbitration panel in that case. Before the two failed drug tests and assortment of outside-the-cage issues have kept him away from the Octagon during a sizable chunk of his prime, Jones was considered the greatest MMA fighter of all time. He held the UFC light heavyweight title from 2011 to 2016 and never lost in competition. Jones had his title stripped following a felony hit-and-run arrest. Jones (22-1, 1 NC) has still not truly lost in earnest inside the cage. His only defeat came against Matt Hamill in 2009 due to disqualification. Afficher l’article complet

    In 2011, Quinton Jackson said he would retire by age 35. Injuries, training and young talent would push him out, he said. In June, Jackson (37-13 MMA, 4-2 BMMA) turned 40. He’s one week away from his 51st professional MMA fight in the co-headliner of Bellator 206. Obviously, things haven’t gone according to plan for “Rampage.” He’s still trudging along, which is why he can’t fault veterans Chuck Liddell (21-8) and Tito Ortiz (19-12-1) for coming back to the cage one more time. Ortiz and Liddell’s ersatz rubber match, set for Nov. 24 on pay-per-view under Golden Boy Promotions, has drawn a healthy dose of criticism from MMA fans and pundits. It’s also drawn additional drug testing scrutiny. But you won’t hear Jackson bash the fight. “A lot of fans criticize fighters as we get older, and I say this is what we know, and this is the sport we love,” Jackson told reporters during a conference call for his fourth fight against Wanderlei Silva on Sept. 29. “We get older, and we still want to participate in it. I personally don’t see anything wrong with older fighters getting out there and fighting.” If anything, Jackson sees the matchup as the best possible option for two aging fighters looking for glory – and hopefully a big paycheck. “It’s better to fight another older fighter instead of a younger guy, because that can be dangerous,” Jackson said. “But I’ve got nothing against Tito or Chuck. I’m cool with both of them; I respect both of them. I trained with Tito over the years. I fought Chuck twice, and I know Tito wants to beat Chuck, and I think that’s the reason for them fighting a third time. “I just hope it’s a good fight. I hope both of them are safe, because both of those guys are older than me, and at their age, I know I’d probably be doing other things like fishing. But those guys, they love the sport, and more power to them.” Jackson’s fight next Saturday could signal a curtain call for Silva, who’s aiming to enter politics in his native Brazil. Jackson’s future plans are unknown. For more on Bellator 206, check out the MMA Rumors section of the site. Voir l'article complet
