Jon Jones Granted Temporary License by CSAC to Compete at UFC 232

According to MMA Fighting, Jon Jones was granted a temporary license to fight Tuesday at a meeting of the CSAC and will fight Alexander Gustafsson at UFC 232. His license was previously revoked by the CSAC in a February commission meeting, at which he was also fined $205,000. At that previous meeting, CSAC executive officer Andy Foster said that California would honor USADA’s resolution to the case, which turned out to be a 15-month suspension following arbitration.

Jones’ license is temporary contingent on him putting together a community service plan with the CSAC, after which his license will be fully reinstated. Commissioner Martha Shen-Urquidez proposed that Jones enroll himself for 3-4 months of additional drug testing with the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA). CSAC will pay for the additional VADA testing if Jones agrees to submit to it.
