Ovince Saint Preux may be competing at heavyweight for his co-main event outing against Tanner Boser at UFC Vegas 30 on Saturday, but he is not staying in the division for too long.
Saint Preux usually competes at light heavyweight, having found enough success to get a number of impressive wins — and an interim title shot opportunity — during his tenure in the UFC. However, the light heavyweight staple decided to move up in weight last year for a chance to compete at heavyweight. His introduction was not as warm as expected though and he was beaten by Ben Rothwell via split decision at UFC on ESPN+ 29 in May.
