He should be, no reason a title holder should ever fail a drug test!!!I doubt Bones is stripped of the title. In fact, in a world where people are most interested in tmz scandals, this is probably good for him in the long run.
But cocaine is not on the banned substance list when out of competition. The ufc will stand behind him unless there is major backlash from the mainstream (read: ESPN) media because he makes them money (more now) and they're a business.
The problem with that is that any PR team can turn Jon into the sympathetic, victim, addict, disease-riddled human being here. When you're taking PEDs in sport, you're a vile cheater. When you're an addict, you deserve treatment/help/another chance.
Whether you agree with that is up to everyone reading, but that's the current world we live in.
The crazy fact is that he failed December 4. I imagine his camp and the ufc knew, for a month. He finished his camp and fought. They wait until 3 days after the fight and release the story. He doesn't care about his treatment. The ufc doesn't care about his treatment. His team doesn't care. This is all for show.

There is no such thing as bad publicity. The UFC will spin this as a tale of redemption and rehabilitation when in fact it was probably just a small habit that involved some late night partying. They would never strip the P4P most dominant title holder for a failed drug test. Suspension from the commission, maybe. Really a non issue in terms of his next fight that will be 3+ months from now.

No because he seems to have a destructive personality , and we saw a lot of big stars destroy there career because of that. Of course most of those are not in the fight business so they can come back 5 to 10 year later and refocused their life and make a late run in their particular domain. like Robert downey jr. But for an athlete , you only have a small window and if you fu** it up. its over, like Tyson ,Paulo fihlo ect.... they could have add a way better carrer then they add, but their destructive personality changed that.
