Ovince “OSP” St. Preux (24-14 MMA, 12-9 UFC)
Lightheavyweight (205lbs): 12-8(UFC), Interim Light heavyweight Title Challenger
Heavyweight (265lbs): 0-1 (UFC)
Ovince St. Preux has been a long time member of the UFC’s light heavyweight division, producing lots of interesting fights and finishes. St. Preux reached the peak of his light heavyweight career in 2016 when he fought against Jon Jones for the UFC Interim Light Heavyweight Championship. St. Preux has some wins over some good guys at 205lbs. like Mauricio Rua, Corey Anderson and Yushin Okami. However, after going 2-3 between February of 2018 and September of 2019, ‘OSP’ decided it was time to change it up. Earlier this year St. Preux fought Ben Rothwell, weighing in at 240.5lbs. for the bout.
Ovince ultimately would lose a split decision to his opponent the next night but he showed that he could hang in there an athletic big man in one of the largest guys that the heavyweight division has to offer. UFC Vegas 7 will be take two for OSP’s experiment at heavyweight.
