Jon Jones made a winning return to the UFC as he pounded out a unanimous decision win over Ovince Saint Preux. Bones Jones showed a few signs of rust in his first appearance in 15 months at UFC 197, but still swept the judges cards with scores of 50-44, 50-45 and 50-45 to claim the interim light-heavyweight belt.The 28-year-old New York fighter, who has suffered just one defeat by disqualification, had been stripped of the full title. Saint Preux only landed 58 strikes in comparison to 131 for Jones, who landed a crisp spinning kick in the second round, while the Tennessee man was taking a string of elbows in the fourth when the bell halted the onslaught. Saint Preux withstood a punishing assault in the fourth round Despite his wide points win, Jones felt he produced a tentative performance after a long lay-off.I was watching, imagining, anticipating techniques - knowing when techniques would have landed, but just not going for it, he told ESPN.But rival Daniel Cormier, who was working as a TV analyst, gave Jones more credit for his convincing victory.He said: Even when youre not feeling your best, most guys cant win a fight 50-44.Jon still won 50-44 even though he did not have his best performance. I was impressed with him in that sense. Also See: No McGregor at UFC 200 Do you like McGregor?

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Arizona coach Bruce Arians was candid as usual when he was asked what would have happened had the Cardinals lost at home to the San Francisco 49ers.Its over, he said.But the Cardinals escaped with a 23-20 victory on Sunday, Chandler Catanzaro kicking a 34-yard field goal as time expired to win it.At 4-4-1, Arizona can still make a push toward a playoff berth, but the going will be tough.The Cardinals play five of their remaining seven games on the road, beginning with a trip to Minnesota on Sunday.Cant even think about five out of seven, Arians said at his Monday news conference. If we just think about them one at a time, well be fine. This is a great new stadium (at Minnesota). Very, very loud, so well have our hands full.Larry Fitzgerald was having an MRI on his sore knee but Arians said that was just a precaution.Arians said Fitzgerald and outside linebacker Alex Okafor (calf) have a chance to practice Wednesday or Thursday.As for the possibility of Fitzgerald sitting out Sundays game, I would be shocked if he misses a game at home, Arians said.Fitzgerald was born in Minnesota and grew up there.He caught 12 passes for 133 yards against the 49ers, his first 100-yard game this season and 42nd of his career.I wish I could have done it with less targets (18), Fitzgerald said after the game. You give me 18 targets in 2006, I might have had 200 yards.It was the first time in his long career that the 33-year-old receiver had double digit catches in consecutive games. Fitzgerald caught 10 passes in Arizonas previous game, a loss at Carolina.He acknowledged he was hurting, but hes long been accustomed to playing with pain.You dont play 13 years without it, Fitzgerald said. Its football. Youre going to get banged up. Its just part of it. Theres a difference between being hurt and being injured. A lot of guys are hurting.Fitzgerald has missed six games in his 13 NFL seasons.Theres a chance the Cardinals will have do-everything defensive back Tyrann Mathieu back this week. Mathieu injured his shoulder against Carolina and sat out Sundays win.Well just see how he is, Arians said.dddddddddddd His strengths back. Its good. So hell be cleared to go and I want to see him practice and see how he looks.If he does come back, it might be without the knee brace that has slowed him this season. Mathieu was without the brace when he was running during a portion of a practice last week that was open to the media.Its about the time we had talked about the brace leaving, so Im not sure, Arians said. Again, thats going to be up to him.Arians said he hasnt decided who the team will lift from the injured list. NFL rules allow a team to bring one player back from the disabled list. Running back Chris Johnson and safety Tyvon Branch are the leading candidates. Both would be eligible to practice this week but couldnt play until the Dec. 4 home game against Washington.The Cardinals were rooting hard for New England on Sunday night but the Patriots came up just short in a loss to Seattle. The Seahawks remain two games up on Arizona in the NFC West. The Cardinals best shot at a playoff berth might be as a wild card. They are just behind a number of teams in those standings, including the Vikings, who are 5-4 but have lost four in a row.Arizonas running game was shut down for the second consecutive game. The 49ers (1-8) entered the game ranked last in the NFL in run defense but held Arizona to 80 yards in 23 plays. David Johnson gained just 55 yards in 19 carries.Arians did not place the blame on John Wetzel in his first start at left tackle after replacing Jared Veldheer, who is out for the season with a torn triceps. Arians said he thought Wetzel played a really solid game.He was not so kind to the rest of the offensive line.They kicked our butt, Arians said. They had safeties down in there. They did a couple of different stunts we hadnt practiced. A different front, but nothing we havent seen all year. We just didnt block very well.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
