Former UFC light heavyweight champion Mauricio Rua is returning to the Octagon for the first time since 2020.
According to Ag Fight’s report, ‘Shogun’ is set to rematch the man who knocked him out in only 34 seconds, back in 2014: Ovince Saint Preux. Per the same post, the pair is scheduled to meet at UFC 274.
In his last outing, Rua (27-12-1) got TKO’d by Paul Craig when he submitted to ground strikes, back in November 2020. The defeat happened after the 40-year-old scored a split decision win in a trilogy fight against Antonio Rogerio Nogueira and after fighting the aforementioned Craig to a split draw.
