It shouldn't come as a surprise, but the main event of UFC 192, a light heavyweight title fight between Daniel Cormier and Alexander Gustafsson, caught the attention of a certain former light heavyweight champion by the name of Jon Jones. Ol' Jonny Bones took to Instagram to post two videos with his thoughts on the bout.
Naturally, because this is Jones, both of them have since been deleted. But this is also the Internet, where nothing is ever truly deleted.
One of the posts featured Jones saying "I think I miss it...I don't know," while pacing about his house. The other was a video of Jones silently nodding, accompanied with text that read "You showed some heart tonight DC," as MMA Fighting's Marc Raimondi captured. Again, both of the posts have been deleted, but one of them has since been preserved on Twitter:
He's back.... @JonnyBones posted this on Instagram and deleted it But you know @MMAHistoryToday got you covered http://pic.twitter.com/EodJL0xXZp

While the two videos combined for just 15 seconds, they still say a great deal, most importantly that Jones seems to be looking to make a comeback. That is not a massive shock, of course, but there was a fair bit of talk from his manager, Malki Kawa, that Jones may not come back.
While there's an off chance the UFC would make him take a tune-up fight against someone like Ryan Bader or Anthony "Rumble" Johnson, a compelling rematch with Cormier likely awaits. The two faced off earlier this year at UFC 182 following a contentious buildup which included a massive brawl at a press conference and many, many more tense moments. While the blood wouldn't be as bad for a rematch, it would still be an incredibly compelling match.
So what do you want to see next for Jones, MMA fans? Should he have the opportunity to retake his belt, or should he have to work his way back to the top?
