Ovince Saint Preux reacts to fresh landscape at 205, Jon Jones’ future at heavyweight

Ovince Saint Preux has already had the chance to share the octagon with Jon Jones.

Now that the former, longtime light heavyweight champion has vacated his title, 205 is now a bit more compelling than it has been in the last several years.

“OSP” will look to take a step forward in the light heavyweight rankings when he faces Alonzo Menifield Saturday night in the co-main event of UFC Vegas 9.

After spending 25-minutes with Jones over four years ago at UFC 197 - over 10 of those with a broken arm - Saint Preux believes Jones’ style could make things interesting in the heavyweight division.
