A battle between light heavyweight contenders is now set for UFC 235, when Ovince St. Preux meets Misha Cirkunov in Las Vegas.
The Ultimate Fighting Championship announced Thursday that St. Preux (23-12) will face Cirkunov (14-1) at the T-Mobile Arena on March 2.
Former UFC light heavyweight title challenger St. Preux has had a tumultuous UFC career to date. Prior to his most recent loss, by decision to Dominick Reyes, St. Preux became the first man to finish Tyson Pedro back at UFC Fight Night 132.
