Jon Jones is doing the media tour ahead of his comeback fight in December at UFC 232 against Alexander Gustafsson. One of the best MMA fighters of all-time hasn’t fought since July 2017, when a failed test for steroids took a win over Daniel Cormier away from him.
Jones followed up his ridiculous comments to Max Kellerman about USADA, by admitting he still drinks and smokes pot. Not exactly a great thing to hear from a guy who battled substance abuse issues prior to failing tests for steroids.

It’s not a big deal, until it’s a big deal. Let’s hope Jones can keep it together long enough to make his return in December. Then we’ll go from there.
