TUF: The Smashes lightweight winner

YES

I believe so. I believe fighters should be suspended for a period of time. Nick Diaz was suspended for marijuana and I don’t think Jon Jones is any different, to be honest. The guy must have a problem if he’s going to be taking it during fight camp, or any time at all. I think they should be punished the way Nick Diaz was punished and that’s it, plain and simple.

Paddy Holohan

Irish UFC flyweight contender

NO

To be honest, it’s none of my business what fighters do in between (fights). What my view is on what should happen to fighters that get caught, and what should happen with Jon Jones, is that’s his own business. He still went out there and performed really, really well, so imagine what he could do if he wasn’t doing anything like that. I wish him the best and hope he doesn’t (do it again) because that’s a nasty bit of s**t, but that’s his business and I wish him the best.

What you had to say on the matter...

YES

@FightersOnly less of a ban for non-performance enhancing drugs but still a ban if mma wants to be considered a credible sport

@Russclub1

NO

@FightersOnly no,peds aren’t punished severely enough,lets start proper bans there first.

@Grimlatic
