He’s back.
Jon Jones returned at UFC 197 in dominant fashion against Ovince Saint Preux. The lopsided decision victory netted him the interim UFC light heavyweight championship, but that is a consolation prize to just being back inside the cage.
It was an impressive showing, but another champion was even more dominant in the co-main event.
Demetrious Johnson made quick work of Olympic gold medalist Henry Cejudo with a first-round TKO to retain the flyweight belt. Johnson continues to be the shining example of what high-level MMA is all about, and he is staking his claim as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world.
There was plenty of other action in Las Vegas on Saturday night, and the winners and losers will be seeking matchups following the show. That is what we take a gander at today.
These are the matches to make for all 24 fighters who competed at UFC 197.
