UFC 197 in Tweets: Pros react to Jon Jones vs. Ovince St-Preux, Demetrious Johnson vs. Henry Cejudo

Jon Jones returned to the UFC Octagon Saturday at UFC 197 in Las Vegas.

While his main event showdown against late-replacement Ovince St-Preux was ultimately underwhelming – ending via decision – the simple fact that "Bones" found his way back to the cage is enough to excite most fans, fighters, and media members across the globe.

In addition to Jones' return, UFC flyweight champ Demetrious Johnson strengthened his case for the number-one pound-for-pound spot in the world, taking out Olympic gold medalist Henry Cejudo in just one round with a vicious flurry of knees and elbows.

Here's what their peers had to say about all the action Saturday evening:
