It was always going to get a reaction.
Just minutes after USADA announced they would be giving Jon Jones a fifteen month suspension after his second drugs test failure, numerous UFC fighters took to their social media to voice their disapproval and skepticism of USADA’s deliberation.

You ever hear people say “MMA is fake” or “UFC is fixed”? This Jon Jones shit is what they mean, it’s not the outcomes but the idea of “sport” itself that is fixed. Money rules all. What a fucking joke

No shade to JJ but no one is surprised by this arbitrary decision , USADA is steadily losing respect in the fight community to the point of questioning why they even exist 🤨 https://t.co/AhVmwBvBEr

They’re all on steroids🙄
How do you deter a repeat drug user? Dont test him when suspended. Dont give him the 4yr or 2yr suspensions. Instead gift him a 15month deal expiring a week before one of the biggest shows in #NewYork #MoneyTalks @ufc @usantidoping @UFC_CA @dc_mma https://t.co/FXlZhqVLQs— Arjan Singh Bhullar (@TheOneASB) September 20, 2018
