It might not have been a vintage performance for Jon Jones, but the former light heavyweight king had more than enough to dispose of Ovince St. Preux on Saturday night.
Shaking off ring rust for much of the bout, Jones cruised to a unanimous decision triumph over St. Preux in the UFC 197 headliner at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. With the win, “Bones” claimed interim 205-pound gold and set up a title rematch with Daniel Cormier later this year.
While Jones wasn’t on top of his game, Demetrious Johnson was never better.
