Jon Jones Reaches Settlement With NSAC – Can Fight Again in July

Jon Jones has settled with the NSAC in regard to his drug test failure at UFC 200. MMAjunkie has confirmed that the settlement will see Jones suspended for a year, the same amount of time ordered by the USADA. This will ensure that Jones is eligible to return to fight in July, as the order is retroactive to July 6th which was the date of the results from the out-of-competition test was revealed.

NSAC officials have yet to announce their ruling and declined to comment. In settling the case — in which Jones claimed his positive test was caused by a tainted sexual enhancement pill — Jones avoids a potential two-year suspension.
