Just a random thought, but DC is probably my favorite person in the UFC. It's bullshit he had to deal with that doped up jackass in his biggest fights. DC is a legitimate good guy, a phenomenal athelete, and a good commentator. He deserves more love than he gets. It's a shame he's lost those fights as well and had Jones essentially be a bad part of his UFC career as far as their feud and fights are concerned He's def a good ambassador for UFC and should be given more respect than he's been given. You hope athletes and champions conduct themselves like he has and Mighty Mouse as well.

Imagine if Jon Jones wasn't as good of a fighter. Would this whole ordeal be avoided or is Jones this big of a draw that appealing this case just had to be done?

Has Jones even really been that big of a draw money wise? I mean sure, he's in the upper tier but it's not like he's Conor, Brock, GSP or Ronda.

Well this doesn't speak to consistency wise but Jon Jones is not apart of the top 20 selling PPV events as far as a headliner is concerned thesportsdaily.com/mma-manifesto/top-selling-ufc-ppvs-of-all-time/

I didn't even hear about the part where he had his manager take the anti doping standards. Honestly if this were any other sport he'd be banned for at least 4 years. Hes taking cheating to a new level

I believe Jones' average PPV is around 500k which is better then the UFC average. He's a needle mover, but not on the level of a Conor or a Brock. Also, mark me down as someone who feels bad for DC. I've been a fan of his since he first got to StrikeForce, and he seems like a genuinely likeable dude. And he's fantastic on commentary with Rogan, and great as a talking head in the analyst booth

In the end he did this all to himself and has no one else to blame. However, in saying that I guess you can fling some blame Dana as well for enabling him his first few times he got in trouble as far as the alcohol/drugs and stuff is concerned

This dude last fought in what 2016 Nov 12, 2016 for UFC 205 Connor is not stepping into the UFC for "change" after big day for boxing so I still find this hard to believe he's getting back in the ring for anything less than a ransom

Speaking of people being in Bellator way after their time is up, Coker dug up Roger Huerta from somewhere to face Bendo in three weeks.
