Betcoin Sports Present UFC 197 - Jones vs. Saint PreuxJon "Bones" Jones returns to the Octagon this Saturday night in the main event of UFC 197 against Ovince Saint Preux in Las Vegas, Nevada.Considered by many to be the best pound-for-pound fighter in the UFC, Jon "Bones" Jones is a perfect 12-0 over his last 12 fights. Jones returns to the Octagon this Saturday night in the main event of UFC 197 against Ovince Saint Preux in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Jones is a -600 favorite over Saint Preux in the main event at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. Jones (21-1 as a professional) dealt with some legal issues outside of the cage in 2015, but the former UFC Light Heavyweight champion hopes to put all of that behind him with a strong performance in UFC 197.
This fight was originally scheduled to be a rematch against Daniel Cormier, but Cormier had to pull out of the fight with an injury.
Saint Preux (19-7) steps in to replace Cormier and could provide an interesting challenge for Jones. Saint Preux is an explosive striker and a quick counter attacker, creating a potential threat should Jones show any rust in his return to action.
But if Jones can weather the early storm and find his rhythm, he should be able to fend off the upset, which would pay +400.
