Dana White targets early 2019 for Jon Jones return

Jon Jones will be eligible to compete again on Oct. 28, but Dana White claims that the controversial former UFC champion will likely return to action early next year.

On Wednesday, it was revealed that Jones received a 15-month suspension from USADA, the UFC’s anti-doping policy, for his failed drug test from a sample collected July 28, 2017.

There has been ample speculation regarding the possibility of Jones headlining UFC 230 at Madison Square Garden on Nov. 3, but the UFC president’s latest comments have thrown water on that idea.

“Beginning of next year,” White told ESPN’s ‘Get Up’ show when asked about Jones’ return.

“He’s been off for awhile. I think he’s a little heavy right now and he needs to start cutting weight and getting back into shape and we should see him early next year.”

White also discussed how Jones ended up receiving a shortened suspension for the offense.

“[USADA] had a third party independent investigator come in and investigate. They investigated and what they believe it was was contaminated supplements which is a huge problem right now. You have very few companies that actually make these products and they are putting bad things through the same silos as they are putting the good things through and yeah it’s contaminated supplements.”

Call of Duty WW2

Call of Duty WW2 Call of Duty : WWII pre-review Many of us are old enough to remember a time when the idea of a first-person shooter set during World War II seemed overdone to the point of parody. The first three Call of Duty releases took place during World War II, breaking from the tradition with 2007’s Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare . Call of Duty: WWII , developer Sledghammer Games’ second full release in the franchise, brings us back to that historic conflict as the series begins to eat its own tail on modern hardware. Or maybe this could be seen as a sort of reboot. Call of Duty: WWII packs in the same ridiculous amount of things to do as past games in the series with a full single-player campaign, many options for multiplayer including the asymmetrical War game mode , the new Headquarters social hub and of cours...
