Ovince Saint Preux challenges UFC heavyweights since guys in his division are 'scared' to fight him

After taking out Rafael Cavalcante at UFC Fight Night 82 last month (recap here), "OSP" was hoping to get back into the Octagon sooner, rather than later. A wish that didn't come true for the talented light heavyweight, as he was put on hold by Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) matchmakers.

But as he recently told MMA Fighting, most of the 205-pound field is actually "scared" to fight him, which is why Joe Silva hasn't hit him up for a new fight. As a result, Saint Preux is looking for fights elsewhere, particularly the heavyweight division.
