After competing at 205 pounds throughout the majority of his career, Ovince Saint Preux thought it was high time to move up a weight class. On the UFC’s Wednesday show in Jacksonville, the 37-year-old fighter was given veteran Ben Rothwell as his first assignment at heavyweight.
What was the high point of the fight?
Saint Preux did a good job holding off Rothwell, who kept pushing forward. He effectively made his of his kicks to ward off his opponent, and even landed a right hook late in the second round that dropped “Big Ben.”
But Rothwell’s size and weight advantage was evident.
