Jon Jones accepted Ovince Saint Preux fight to 'make things right for UFC 151'

The world around Jon Jones is never dull. That fact is more true than ever on the heels of a whirlwind week that saw Jones jailed for yet another run-in with the law, released with new restrictions on his probation, then immediately faced with a short-notice opponent swap following the injury withdrawal of UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier.

The result of all that commotion? Jones will instead fight Ovince Saint Preux at UFC 197 on April 23 for the interim UFC light heavyweight title, although even that decision did not come easy.
