Coach Greg Jackson believes Jon Jones would have beaten Daniel Cormier at UFC 197

A lot went into the return of former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Light Heavyweight champion Jon Jones at UFC 197.

The prestigious 205-pound king had to rebuild his life outside of the cage, reshape a body that can withstand more powerful foe, and accept a change in opponent just three weeks out. Not to mention the fill-in himself, Ovince Saint Preux, who stepped up to challenge the best pound-for-pound fighter on the planet.

Having won by unanimous decision, Jones' victory at UFC 197 should be the only thing that matters.
