One day after it was reported light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier would be forced out of his highly anticipated rematch against Jon Jones at UFC 197 with a leg injury, it was announced Ovince St. Preux (pictured) will serve as substitute on just three weeks’ notice to fight the most decorated 205-pounder in UFC history.
St. Preux has won three of his past four fights, most recently posting a unanimous decision victory over Rafael Cavalcante in February. This is by far the toughest test of OSP’s career, but best believe he was well compensated by the UFC for stepping up at the 11th hour.
