Jon Jones spent his 25 minutes with Ovince St. Preux knocking off the rust from a 15-month layoff that was the result of his own doing.
Jones laid claim to the interim Ultimate Fighting Championship light heavyweight title with a unanimous decision over St. Preux in the UFC 197 main event on Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. “Bones” pitched a shutout on all three scorecards: 50-44, 50-45 and 50-45. Jones has won 13 fights in a row since being disqualified against Matt Hamill at “The Ultimate Fighter 10” Finale in December 2009.
