Relationship with UFC mended, Jon Jones wants to be 'more of a company guy'

LOS ANGELES -- Jon Jones wants to keep his battling within the Octagon.

For years, Jones and the UFC have had a tenuous relationship, dating back to when Jones wouldn't fight a short-notice opponent at UFC 151 in 2012. The card had to be cancelled and UFC president Dana White went on a media conference call to essentially bury Jones and his coach Greg Jackson.

Jones said Tuesday at a UFC 200 media lunch, though, that his relationship with the UFC is mended and he wants to be more of a "company guy" in the future.
