I'm the loving scumbag rooting for tj cause his fights were always fun and action packed, but if he loses then he'll never ever live down being exposed as a hack fraud who needed to cheat to win

My feeling is that they know TJ is still elite and they can probably get a good half dozen championship level fights out of him still. Maybe even get a cejudo rematch at some point.

I'm going to have to be devil's advocate here. His improvement from TUF to the Cody fights was pretty meteoric and it's clear he put the work in. I don't think he's a fraud per se but yeah, taking EPO is a total bitch move.

Go for the chaos option: TJ beats Sandhagen then tests positive again.

I think the really negative perception of TJ is really interesting because it's only because he was honest and fessed up to it. If he pretended it was a tainted supplement and then just shut up about it like everyone else does no one would give a poo poo. Like who cares that Andre Ewell on this card tested positive for a PED recently? Who cares that Yair Rodriguez has repeatedly avoided being tested? Who cares, or even knows, that Sean O'Malley recently tested positive for PEDs? Amanda Ribas? Marvin Vettori? Walt Harris? Neil Magny? Mairbek Taisumov? Some of it is that TJ is a very high profile fighter obviously, but I think it's mostly because he admitted to it.

I think it’s because EPO isn’t the type of thing that could have been a tainted supplement or dick pill etc. There’s no question at all that he knew he was cheating.

Wow I didn't realize O'Malley has tested positive twice for Ostarine although the second time was thought to be residual it still resulted in another 6 months suspension on top of the year he had already served.

But when it comes to Jones, Novitsky goes on a media tour explaining how picograms work and it's not Jones fault. And Dana doesn't have any pull with usada?

Ah, I didn't know that, so that probably explains TJ's reaction, but I meant I find people's reaction to him interesting. Tons of people online calling him a filthy drug cheat, but you rarely hear that stuff about even other high profile fighters who've tested positive like Sean O'Malley or Brian Ortega or whoever.

So maybe people really do buy the tainted supplement excuse, or maybe it's a personality thing and people just really dislike TJ, because to be fair Jones gets a lot of poo poo too.
