I was blessed with the chance to be a blessing to my brother Scooby and gifted him my Escalade today.

In a recent appearance on the Russian podcast called Hustle Show, Nurmagomedov discussed Jones' controversial past, involving performance -enhancing drugs.

''As an athlete, [Jones] reached greatness. He has no equal but there will always be questions about doping, whether he was caught or not. And yes, he was caught. That’s a fact. I mean, he’s like 38 now. He’s been gone for a while. Let’s be honest. How many fights has he had in the past five years? One or two in five years. He’s been done for a while...His prime was clearly behind him. His prime is long past.''
