Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones, one of the sport's biggest stars, will step in front of the California State Athletic Commission this week, for his failed drug test back in July.

It's been seven months since Jones, 30, submitted the failed test -- and there have been very few details or updates released to the public since.

Jones (22-1) is widely considered to be the greatest talent in mixed martial arts history, and the sport is eager to receive answers on his future.

Here's what you need to know ahead of Jones' date with the commission.

When and where does the hearing take place?

The CSAC meeting is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, in Anaheim. Jones is expected to attend in person.

What are the details of Jones' case again?

On July 28, one day before Jones knocked out Daniel Cormier to reclaim the UFC's 205-pound championship, he submitted a sample to the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) that tested positive for turinabol, an anabolic steroid.

The results of that test were not available before the Cormier bout took place. CSAC has since changed the result to a no-contest, and the UFC reinstated Cormier as its light heavyweight champion.

Jones' representatives have adamantly stated he did not intentionally cheat but have not yet offered a public explanation for how the substance got into Jones' system. His defense team includes renowned sports and anti-doping attorney Howard Jacobs.

In addition to the failed test, Jones passed three tests in July, administered on July 6, 7, and 29. The July 29 sample was not tested for turinabol, however.

This is the second failed test of Jones' career. He served a one-year suspension in 2016, after testing positive for anti-estrogen agents. Jones claimed that failed test was caused by a sexual enhancement pill. An independent arbitrator ruled Jones was "not a drug cheat" but still acted recklessly.

What punishment is Jones facing?

It's important to note that Jones faces sanctions from two agencies: CSAC and USADA. And there is no guarantee those punishments will match.

On Tuesday, he will face a potential fine and license revocation in the state of California. Under CSAC regulations, Jones' fine could be as high as 40 percent of his purse at UFC 214, which was disclosed at $500,000.

If the commission revokes Jones' license, he would not be eligible to re-apply in California until one year has passed from the date of revocation.

CSAC executive officer Andy Foster, along with legal counsel, will suggest formal sanctions to commission members to vote on.

Regardless of what happens on Tuesday, Jones' case will still need resolution with USADA as well. At this time, it is unclear whether Jones will enter arbitration with USADA. Under USADA's regulations, he faces a maximum punishment of four years of ineligibility.

What is Jones' possible defense?

That's a big question, which will presumably be answered on Tuesday.

On the surface, there is circumstantial evidence to support Jones' claim he did not intentionally cheat. The particular steroid he tested positive for, coupled with the time frame it was found in his system, do not suggest a sophisticated anti-doping effort, according to several experts.

Still, Jones' defense will likely need to account for the substance in his system somehow, in order to eliminate (or reduce) any potential fine or license revocation.
