MMA Fighting reports that the Attorney General of Nevada is looking into whether it will investigate the possibility that UFC light heavyweight champ lied under oath while testifying before the Nevada State Athletic Commission this past September.
Based on the commission review of the incident including Jones’ testimony, he was fined $50,000 and given 40 hours community service in the Las Vegas area.
While testifying about the media day brawl with Daniel Cormier in August, Jones indicated that he had lost Nike as a sponsor due to the brawl. However, Jones backed off of this statement during a conference call during UFC 182 fight week.
Jones then tried to re-explain his comments from the call (via MMA Fighting):
“I had like thousands of dollars of credit left on my Nike account that I never got to spend,” Jones said. “I had several months of monthly revenue money that I never got to receive. … So I lost several thousand dollars because of that fight, so technically that fight was the reason for thousands of dollars being out of my bank that I couldn’t receive. So technically, they have nothing to come back on me for.”
Payout Perspective:
We wrote about the issue of the possibility of Jones’ punishment due to not stating the truth under oath here. Jones’ explanation about his own comments does not negate what he told the commission. Essentially, his re-explanation equates to having store credit but not being able to use it. He also claims that he had unpaid “revenue” that he never received. This is vague and it’s not clear if this was related to his credit. Thus, this would not be the same as losing a sponsorship as a result of the media day brawl.

Another poor article from Junkie. The expert claims the commission doesn’t understand what they are doing. I have spent very little time looking into PE’s and the testing and I know everything they talked about. The reason the commission didn’t do a CIR test id because Jones met their requirements. I am willing to bet many of the top fighters T/E ratio’s are the same. Of course Jones is using something as they all are. But he is meeting the requirments. Their allowance is 6-1 for a reason. If they were going to scrutinize anyone who was above 1-1 then they would hae their hands full and there would be no fighters not suspended.
MMAPayout should request each fighters test. IF they had to release this test then they should have to release everyones. Then we could see how many fighters Testosterones looks suspect. Just out of curiosity. It wouldn’t be 100% because some segments of the population are naturally higher then 1-1. But it still be interesting to see how many are in the 1-1 ball park and how many isn’t.
BTW, I don’t care who is using what. I think they should have basic tests like they do as a deterrent and punish those who get careless and get caught. Which is what they do. Bending over backwards to make something clean when clean doesn’t mean “better” is pointless and counter productive. Especially in an age when the benefits of usage are far out weighing the negatives.
Sal smells like turds and vomit.
If you’re not on a ped you aren’t going to make it far in professional sports especially where relatively large sums of money are at stake.
