I think he will always be remembered from the stunning performances he&#8217;s put on. [&#8230;] Yes, outside of the Octagon he&#8217;s made some very bad decisions and unfortunately this is one that isn&#8217;t go away for a long time. I think he&#8217;s looking at a four-year suspension and it&#8217;s fair to say there&#8217;s no smoke without fire. This isn&#8217;t his first time. I guess we&#8217;re going to see how this thing unfolds, but it&#8217;s not looking good.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Malki-Kawa-Jon-Jones.png\" alt=\"Malki Kawa Jon Jones\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-245762 size-full\" width=\"730\" height=\"380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Malki-Kawa-Jon-Jones.png 730w, https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Malki-Kawa-Jon-Jones-300x156.png 300w, https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Malki-Kawa-Jon-Jones-585x305.png 585w, https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Malki-Kawa-Jon-Jones-390x203.png 390w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I believe [he should be banned permanently], I believe so.

Until we get more test results and answers to many questions though, he remains innocent until proven guilty. The last time a lifetime ban was on the table was Nick Diaz for marijuana metabolites. His sentence was then reduced to a five-year ban and a hefty fine, until finally it was changed to just 18 months. So, there&#8217;s hope even the stiffest of punishments can be absolved.<\/p>\n<p><em>This article first appeared on\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\">BJPenn.com<\/a>\u00a0on 9\/12\/2017.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After many twists and turns, the Jon Jones saga still is far from ending.
