Jon Jones explains why he flipped Daniel Cormier the bird post-UFC 197: 'I was just being a jerk'

After his unanimous decision victory over Ovince Saint Preux at UFC at UFC 197 in Las Vegas, Nevada (see it again here), it didn't take long for Jon Jones to add yet more fuel to the fire in his bitter rivalry with Daniel Cormier; as "Bones" took the time to give "DC" -- who was on ringside commentating duties -- the middle finger salute.

So why did "Bones" Do it? To hear him explain in on the FOX Sports 1 post-fight show, he was simply covering his end in case Cormier was too harsh on him during the fight.
