Ahead of what was to be his 22nd UFC light heavyweight appearance, Ovince Saint Preux has experienced a dubious career first.
“OSP” weighed in at 207.5 pounds for his UFC Vegas 16 co-main event meeting with Jamahal Hill, 1.5 pounds over the light heavyweight limit. The 37-year-old had previously never come in heavy for a UFC bout.
Saint Preux will forfeit 20 percent of his purse to Hill (who weighed in successfully at 205.5 pounds) and the bout will proceed at a catchweight.
All other fighters successfully made weight, including middleweight headliners Jack Hermansson (185.5) and Marvin Vettori (186).
