NSAC executive director Bob Bennett confirmed to ESPN.com on Tuesday that Jones, 27, tested positive for benzoylecgonine, a metabolite of cocaine. Jones informed the NSAC that he had admitted himself into a drug treatment center.[/quote] [quote=Jones in 2009]“I’ve always been a person who tries to do the right thing in life, for the most part,” said Jones. “I’m no angel, but I was always the kid who snitched on the kids who had pot. I don’t want to offend the pot smokers out there, but I was kind of just a snitch. I was just down for people doing the right thing. My parents kind of raised me to be a good guy. I’ve always been down for the good side, I guess.”[/quote]
Fuck, I was really looking forward to the fight.

Apparently they did this test on December 4th, a few days after he got back from Brazil, almost a month before the fight. So he didn't go into the cage like Mike Tyson.
Well that sucks as it's only in your system for a few days.. but serves him right the little snitch.

I couldn't even see this fight because my DVR fucked up during the prelims and I wasn't able to even pause it and then the channel kept changing on its own and then the UI froze.
