Jon Jones has once again reminded the world why he’s considered the best mixed martial fighter in the history of the sport. After not having a single fight in more than three years, Jones walked into the octagon at UFC 285 on Saturday night and took care of the business against Ciryl Gane in the first round to take home UFC’s heavyweight title.

The fight against Gane was Jones’ heavyweight debut, but he sure didn’t seem like he was breaking new ground. He immediately started using his new size to put pressure on Gane and managed to get him in a guillotine. And just like that, the fight was over after two minutes and four seconds.

“I’m so excited,” Jones said after the fight. “I’ve been working for this for a long time. A lot of people thought I wasn’t coming back. I was reading that all the time. But I was faithful to the goal and faithful to the mission.”

Jones will now get some time to enjoy his heavyweight belt, but there will soon be other coming for it. Even before Jones versus Gane fight, the UFC boss Dana White said that whoever wins it would have to defend it against former champion and UFC legend Stipe Miocic.

Jon Jones has been the undisputed UFC Lightheavyweight champion for almost a decade. He won his first belt at UFC 128 in 2011 and never lost it in a fight. Jones vacated the title in 2020 in order to make a move to heavyweight. After Gane fight, Jones now has a 27-1 record and is on an 18-win streak.

United States Anti-Doping Agency spokesperson confirmed on Tuesday that the B Sample of UFC’s light heavyweight champion Jon Jones came back positive. Drug test occurred on July 28 in Anaheim, California prior to UFC 214. On the event, Jones reclaimed the title. After it was reported in August that the A sample contained anabolic steroid called Turinabol, Jones hoped that the B sample will clear him out. However, B sample rarely provides different results than the A sample.

“Mr. Jones ‘B’ sample has confirmed the ‘A’ sample findings. Importantly — as previously stated — due process should occur before drawing any conclusions about this matter.” – the USADA’s spokesperson said.

Jones denied taking the substance and his team is currently investigating how the substance entered his system. Jones received support from some of his teammates, including Frank Lester who wrote on his social media account the following: “This is a set up, straight up, no athlete would test clean his entire fight camp, and then randomly take some cheap f—king oral steroid between weigh-ins and fight night knowing he would be tested once he got done fighting. This is a straight set up. They are trying to ruin this kids life.”

Because Jones’ B sample came positive, the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) took his win over Daniel Cormier at UFC 214 and turned it to no-contest. UFC still didn’t make a decision to strip the title of light heavyweight champion from Jones, but that should be expected soon. Since this is a second time Jones has been tested positive for banned substances, he could face a maximum of 4 years suspension. Last year, he was positive for Letrozole and Clomiphene, which caused him to pull out from UFC 200, and get 1-year suspension while being stripped of his title. Jones claimed that these substances came from a sexual enhancement pill.
