Let's not forget the fact that Ultimate Fighting Championship ( UFC ) fighters have ceaseless drug tests prior the fight and afterward,especially Jones who has never failed drug test on his last 20 fights which make totally sense, and demystify possible connection between Jones use of performance-enhancing drugs (PED).

Joshua Johnson Joshua Johnson was an African-American painter who lived in the Baltimore area. Johnson, often viewed as the first African-American to make a living out of painting in the United States, is well-known for his professional paintings. He was a self-taught painter who worked during the 19th centuries. I thought that focusing on Joshua Johnson, is more interesting because often when the matter of artists in American art history comes up, the focus tends to be on White Americans than on the American artists of color. Joshua Johnson’s paintings were not popular until the year 1939, when they were discovered by art historians, who believed that thirteen portraits were painted by Joshua Johnson.
