Watch: Ranking Jon Jones' Most Brutal UFC Finishes

As if you needed any help getting excited for the return of Jon Jones.

The former light heavyweight champion and pound-for-pound kingpin begins the in-cage portion of his redemption tour Saturday when he faces what appears to be an in-over-his-head opponent, Ovince Saint Preux at UFC 197.

With his well-publicized suspension costing Jones more than a year of his prime, it's probably fair to say he's eager to get back to fighting. Fans are eager, too. And as we get set for Saturday, it makes sense that we might while away that time by looking back on his UFC high points to date.

In fact, let us rank the top five of his nine finishes in the UFC. We will rank them based on the skill and viciousness of each maneuver, the stakes of the fight and the quality of opponent. And you know what else? We'll even include some video as circumstances permit. Should those circumstances fail to cooperate, you can always head over to UFC Fight Pass, the UFC's pay subscription service, to check out full fight video.
