Jon Jones Hearing For Steroid Punishment (LIVE STREAM)

Jon Jones Hearing for Steroid Punishment

LIVE STREAM

Jon Jones is about to find out if he'll be SUSPENDED from fighting in the state of California over a failed UFC 214 steroid test.

He's about to face the California Athletic Commission ... and we're livestreaming the whole thing. 

TMZ Sports broke the news ... Jones tested positive for the anabolic steroid Turinabol in a test administered in July -- the day before he beat Daniel Cormier in Anaheim to reclaim the UFC light heavyweight championship.

Of course, Jones was stripped of his title -- and now he's facing up to $200,000 in fines (40% of his fight purse) and a possible suspension from the CAC. 

If the CAC suspends Jones' license, he can't reapply until one year has passed from the date of revocation. 

Jones is also facing punishment from another agency -- USADA -- which could hit him with a possible 4-year suspension.  Jones is expected to meet with USADA later this year. There's no guarantee USADA's punishment will match the CAC punishment. 

The complication for Jones ... this is his 2nd offense. He tested positive for 2 banned substances prior to UFC 200 in Las Vegas in 2016 ... resulting in a 1-year suspension from USADA and the Nevada State Athletic Commission. .

The CAC meeting is set to being at 10 AM PT ... with Jones' hearing 5th on the agenda.
