Opinions have ranged across the board ever since it was revealed that Jon Jones tested positive for cocaine in early December. There are many people condemning the UFC light heavyweight champion and many people supporting him. Perhaps the most scrutinized party involved in the whole situation, however, is the Nevada Athletic Commission.

He, in fact, condemns the commission. In a video he released on Friday, Silva said to Jones, “You will step out of this and use this as a lesson for many people who have the same problem.” Shortly after voicing his support for Jones, Silva blasted the Nevada Athletic Commission, who recently issued him a ban from the sport for having avoided a random drug test.
