Another packed weekend of MMA action is upon us. Serving up an exciting card from Las Vegas, Nevada, is The Ultimate Fighter 24 Finale. Much like the classic season that ended with Matt Serra upsetting Georges St-Pierre, this season’s TUF winner faces champion Demetrious Johnson. In case you hadn’t heard yet, that lucky man is none other than Tim Elliott. Meeting the number one pound-for-pound fighter today, Elliott would arguably grab shocker of the year with a victory.

Staying at flyweight, former title challengers Joseph Benavidez and Henry Cejudo clash in the co-main event. Welterweight mainstay Jake Ellenberger meets street fighter turned MMA beast Jorge Masvidal in an intriguing 170-pound tilt. The feature prelim bout sees Gray Maynard hoping to continue his featherweight fortune against Ryan Hall.

It looks like the long-awaited Daniel Cormier vs. Jon Jones rematch to unify the light heavyweight titles will have to wait and headline another card other than July 9’s UFC 200 from Las Vegas.

News came today that Jones will potentially be on the sidelines for six months pending an x-ray on his left foot after his one-sided decision win over Ovince Saint Preux in the main event of last Saturday’s tonight’s (Sat., April 23, 2016) UFC 197 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena, also in Las Vegas.

Jones was spotted with the injury backstage, but insisted he was perfectly fine at the event’s post-fight presser. He could be cleared by an orthopedic doctor even if his x-ray is positive; however, if it is not, Jones will be out of action until October 21, 2016.

Featuring two title fights and a number of wild bouts, UFC 197 resulted in a rather lengthy medical suspension list including St. Preux, who also received a full six-month sit for a broken left ulna. The full UFC 197 medical suspensions are as follows courtesy of MMA Fighting:

Jon Jones: Must have left foot x-rayed, if positive then requires clearance by an orthopedic doctor or no contest until 10/21
Ovince Saint Preux: Must have broken left ulna cleared by an orthopedic doctor or no contest until 10/21; minimum suspension no contest until 06/08, no contact until 05/24
Rafael Natal: Must have nasal fracture cleared by doctor or no contest until 10/21; minimum suspension no contest until 06/08, no contact until 05/24
Robert Whittaker: Must have right hand x-rayed, if positive then requires clearance by an orthopedic doctor or no contest until 10/21; minimum suspension no contest until 05/24, no contact until 05/15
Andre Fili: Must have left inferior orbital wall fracture cleared by oral, maxillofacial surgeon or ophthalmologist or no contest until 10/21; minimum suspension no contest until 06/08, no contact until 05/24
Sergio Pettis: Must have right hand x-rayed, if positive then requires clearance by an orthopedic doctor or no contest until 10/21

UFC 197 Bonuses: Demetrious Johnson, Yair Rodriguez Highlight $50,000 Winners

Peerless UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson picked up one of his most scintillating finishes in the Octagon when he finished top contender Henry Cejudo in the co-main event of last night’s (Sat., April 23, 2016) UFC 197 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, and not surprisingly, he took home one of the

Peerless UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson picked up one of his most scintillating finishes in the Octagon when he finished top contender Henry Cejudo in the co-main event of last night’s (Sat., April 23, 2016) UFC 197 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, and not surprisingly, he took home one of the card’s $50,000 “Performance of the Night” bonuses for his efforts.

It was much deserved, as was the second “Performance of the Night” bonus, which went to Mexican featherweight striking sensation Yair Rodriguez, who blasted Andre Fili with an absolutely monstrous flying roundhouse kick to score one of the most exciting knockouts in UFC history.

Finally, “Fight of the Night” went to Danny Roberts vs. Dominique Steele on the FOX Sports 1 preliminary section of the card, which Roberts won by close decision after an absolutely grueling back-and-forth affair.

Demetrious Johnson vs. Henry Cejudo Full Fight Video Highlights

Many believed that Olympic gold medalist wrestler Henry Cejudo was the man to finally give dominant UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson a run for his belt, but they soon found out that was not even close to the case when “Mighty Mouse” locked up with “The Messenger” in the co-main event of last night’s (Sat., April

Many believed that Olympic gold medalist wrestler Henry Cejudo was the man to finally give dominant UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson a run for his belt, but they soon found out that was not even close to the case when “Mighty Mouse” locked up with “The Messenger” in the co-main event of last night’s (Sat., April 23, 2016) UFC 197 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

After Cejudo got a surprisingly easy takedown early on, it was as if a light switch was turned on inside “Mighty Mouses’s” head, as he bruised and battered the challenger with a dangerous mix of elbows, knees, and some follow-up punches to absolutely demolish the previously undefeated — and cocky — challenger in less than three minutes.

it was a dominant performance that could do nothing less than cement Johnson as the world’s best pound-for-pound fighter, as his only other legitimate threat — new interim champ Jon Jones — did not look nearly as impressive in his comeback victory in the bout directly following “Mighty Mouse’s” latest dominant win.

It could easily be argued that “Mighty Mouse” has cleaned out his entire division as he approaches Anderson Silva’s record for most consecutive title defenses, and it’s a a serious question to ask when considering whom he will face next.

But last night was about basking in the glory of one of his finest-ever wins, so watch the full fight video highlights of Johnson’s dominant;y jaw-dropping win right here:
