Jon Jones returns to action Saturday night in a battle for the interim light heavyweight championship in a battle against Ovince Saint Preux in the headline bout for UFC 197.
Jones (21-1) was once the king of the light heavyweight division, having defended his title an impressive eight times before he was stripped of the championship in April 2015.
He returns against Saint Preux, a fighter with excellent quickness and explosive punching power. The idea was that Jones would fight Daniel Cormier upon his return, but Cormier suffered a knee injury in early April and Saint Preux got the call to step in.
