In a battle between Strikeforce light heavyweights, Ovince Saint Preux and Rafael Cavalcante will square off on the undercard of UFC 196 in February.
Former Strikeforce light heavyweights Ovince Saint Preux and Rafael Cavalcante are set to battle at UFC 196 on February in Las Vegas, Nevada. UFC officials confirmed the news on Wednesday. Both men are coming off 3rd round stoppage losses, although Feijao is on a losing skid.
Saint Preux (18-7) is ranked #6 in the UFC's top 15 at 205 lbs, but his quest for a title shot was halted by Glover Teixeira, who submitted him with a rear-naked choke in the main event of UFC Fight Night in Nashville back in August.
