Staggering news hit the mixed martial arts world on Tuesday when word broke that UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones had tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs in a USADA test before his third-round knockout victory over Daniel Cormier at UFC 214.

The July 29 bout in Anaheim, Calif., was itself Jones’ return from a previous USADA suspension, which was just one in a long string of problems the massively talented but troubled fighter has been through.

Needless to say, the fight world had opinions on the latest news:
