The UFC 197 takes place Saturday night from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, headlined by Jon Jones' return to UFC competition after a 15 month hiatus due to a hit and run arrest in New Mexico. Jones was scheduled to return against UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier but Cormier had to pull out due to injury and Jones will now face Ovince St. Preux in what UFC has made an interim title bout. In the co-main event, dominant UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson defends his title against undefeated Olympic gold medalist Henry Cejudo.
It was Kevin Lee edged out a unanimous decision win over Efrain Escudero. It wasn't as impressive of a win as the sizeable favorite Lee likely hoped for. Marcos Rogerio de Lima dominated Clint Hester and finished Hester with an arm triangle submission in the first round. De Lima was in control from beginning to end and Hester could find himself cut by the UFC after his third straight loss. Finally, Walt Harris picked up his first UFC victory with a first round TKO over promotional newcomer Cody East. The stoppage from the referee came at a strange time but East was badly hurt.
