VIDEO: Jon Jones asks for new UFC 197 opponent
Daniel Cormier's injury won't prevent Jon Jones from fighting at UFC 197 on April 23.
Jones posted a video on Instagram on Saturday asking the UFC to find him a new opponent - be it a heavyweight or light heavyweight.
"You know I'm not into taking last-minute fights," said Jones (who turned down a short-notice fight against Chael Sonnen in 2012 after original opponent Dan Henderson got hurt) before adding that he feels he owes his fans a fight after a "crazy" last year.

Jones has run afoul of the law on multiple occasions, with the most recent being a citation for drag racing that briefly landed him in jail for probation violation. Jones got out this week on the condition that he attend anger management and driver training courses.
