UFC 197: Jones wins in return

It is time, finally. Jon Jones is ready to get back into the octagon for his first bout since January 2015 against up-and-comer Ovince Saint Preux at UFC 197 in Las Vegas.

Jones was one of the longest reigning UFC champions in the organization's history, coming up just short of Anderson Silva's record for most title defenses. Now, Jones has a chance to regain the belt he never lost -- as it was stripped from him following a hit-and-run accident in New Mexico in 2015.

Also on the card is another long reigning UFC champion in flyweight Demetrious Johnson, who will be challenged by Henry Cejudo.
