Headlines can be misleading, but this one is anything but. Questions arise to the how, when, and where, but the results are true...Jon Jones passed a polygraph test in essence stating he unknowingly took banned substances. If this were true, it could recover his self image in the public eye immensely.

---

The test itself was conducted in Jon's hometown of Albequereuq, but oddly enough this was done on his terms and by his own decision...neither USADA nor any mixed martial arts commissioner requested the test. Jones is seeking redemption, and at this point it is clearer than ever.

Jones is not only the greatest light heavyweight of all time, he is arguably the greatest fighter of all time. On paper, Jon is unblemished when it comes to the Octagon. The man obviously misses the cage, as he is a master craftsman, and there aren't many other suitable jobs for a man with his skills.

---

With Daniel Cormier as the current reigning champion, Jon most likely wants to relinquish his belt more than ever. UFC 220 is a card with immense implications in both the heavyweight, and light heavyweight divisions. With Jon Jones in the mix, that would make 2018 a very interesting place for the UFC.

For now, only fans can speculate as to the reason for Jon taking the test, and for him wanting to publish the results immediately. They will most likely have no bearing upon his ban from the UFC, but it could reduce the tarnish on his legacy if more results end up getting released.

There is always an immense lack of clarity when it comes to performance enhancers. The sport is filled with users, and there is a double standard for both fans and athletes as "don't ask don't tell" seems to be the story in all facets of sport and drug users. We can only hope for clarity at this point regarding one of the best fighters of all time.
