"Daddy" might be coming home.
Jon Jones had big plans for 2016. He was going to return to the UFC after an almost year long exile, fight Daniel Cormier, and reclaim his UFC light heavyweight championship. Unfortunately for him, things didn't work out like that. First, Cormier withdrew from their scheduled fight at UFC 197 and he was forced to face Ovince Saint Preux in an interim title fight, which he won by unanimous decision. Then, just a few days before his rematch with Cormier at UFC 200, Jones was flagged by USADA for a potential anti-doping violation and removed from the card.
