Jon Jones Granted Temporary License by CSAC, Cleared to Fight at UFC 232

The path has been cleared for Jon Jones to make his Octagon return at UFC 232.

The California State Athletic Commission on Tuesday voted unanimously to grant the former UFC light heavyweight champion a temporary license. Jones had his license revoked in February for failing a drug test at UFC 214. He was also fined $205,000, which he paid on Tuesday.

At the previous hearing earlier this year, CSAC Executive Officer Andy Foster said the commission would honor whatever sanctions USADA handed to Jones. That turned out to be a reduced 15-month suspension, which ended on Oct.
