Perhaps the only story in MMA more intriguing than the ongoing UFC vs Conor McGregor power struggle is the redemption of a former champion. The fact that Jones was never bested for his title, rather stripped due to his own actions, only increases the tension. UFC 197 served as part one of Jones' redemption story as he turned in a workmanlike performance against OSP, rarely ceding control of the fight but also taking care not to venture too far outside his own comfort zone. Part two will come at UFC 200 where he faces the reigning champ, Daniel Cormier.
