Nevada State Athletic Commission re-licenses Jon Jones for UFC 235 following hearing

Jon Jones can go back to fighting in Nevada. The NSAC (Nevada State Athletic Commission) put the UFC champion through an extended hearing, including statements and questioning of multiple people involved in the drug testing process, and the result ended up in line with California’s decision making — when the state granted Jones a license to compete at UFC 232 back in December.

Jones had been set to face Alexander Gustafsson for the light heavyweight title in Las Vegas on December 29th, before concerns over Turinabol metabolites found in his out-of-competition drug testing cycle cause the NSAC to stop Jones from competing in the state.
