Wait, What? Could We Actually See Jon Jones Back in the Octagon in 2018?

It’s been a minute since MMA fans heard anything of substance from Jon Jones, but the former UFC light heavyweight champion’s manager struck an optimistic tone this week.

With Jones’ hearing before the California State Athletic Commission to adjudicate his second positive performance-enhancing drugs test set for February 27, Malki Kawa said this week he’s certain Jones will fight in the UFC again before the end of this year.

Or, at least, almost certain.

“I got to assume that by the end of March, for a fact, we will get this resolved and get an idea of what it’s looking like," Kawa told Luke Thomas on SiriusXM radio.
