Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones makes his highly-anticipated return to the Octagon on Saturday night at UFC 197. Jones will be facing late replacement Ovince Saint Preux for the interim light heavyweight title.
Initially, Jones was scheduled to face current champion Daniel Cormier for the title, which was stripped from Jones last year after multiple incidents outside of the cage. Unfortunately, Cormier suffered an injury and the UFC had to go with a different plan.
In the co-main event, longtime flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson defends his belt against Henry Cejudo.
Also on the main card is former lightweight champion Anthony Pettis and the always exciting Yair Rodriguez, who is looking to establish himself as the next big thing in the featherweight division.
For those unable to watch the pay-per-view on your television, there are live streaming options available through the UFC on YouTube and UFC.tv.
