5 of the most controversial suspensions in UFC history

#1 Jon Jones

Jon Jones became one of the sport's greatest disappointments.

Just like Anderson Silva, former light heavyweight champion Jon Jones was widely considered as the Greatest at one point in his career. But in one fell swoop through several misdemeanours, "Bones" has suddenly become one of the sport's greatest disappointments.

Jones is no stranger to UFC suspensions. In 2015, he was first slapped with an indefinite suspension and stripped of his title after being involved in a hit-and-run incident in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The same thing happened a year later at UFC 200 in July 2016, when he also tested positive for clomiphene like Lesnar. For that, he was given a yearlong suspension.

But these instances seem to be a norm for Jones, as he once again failed a drug test for an unspecified "banned substance" for his UFC 214 title rematch against Daniel Cormier. No suspension has been imposed, but it was reported that Jones may be facing a four-year ban for his repeated PED-related offences.

Many feel that the 30-year-old Jones may have already ruined his own career, and things can only look worse for him if he indeed gets slapped with the four-year suspension.
