UFC 197 will only take place next Saturday (23), but the schedule of events scheduled for the week of fights began this Wednesday (20), in Las Vegas (USA), the stage for the card that will be headlined by the fight for interim light heavyweight belt between Jon Jones e Ovince St Preux.

The UFC 197 open training sessions were held in the lobby of the MGM Grand Garden, the casino and hotel that will host the event. In front of hundreds of fans, Jon Jones, Ovince St Preux, Demetrious Johnson e Henry Cejudo, stars of fight night, showed off their skills and gave a little demonstration of what's to come when they enter the octagon.

PUBLICITY:

One of the highlights of the event was the participation of the former light heavyweight champion Jon Jones, who returns to fight after being stripped of his title due to extra-octagon problems and remaining out of action for more than a year. Jones was greatly celebrated by the public present and gave smiling photos and autographs to fans.
