UFC’s light heavyweight division will see Kennedy Nzechukwu take on Ovince Saint Preux in an upcoming bout scheduled for March 16 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Sources with knowledge of the situation recently reported the matchup, although the official announcement from the promotion is pending.
Nzechukwu (12-4 MMA, 6-4 UFC) looks to rebound from a quick TKO loss to Dustin Jacoby in August. Before the setback, Nzechukwu had a successful run with three consecutive finishes against Karl Roberson, Ion Cutelaba, and Devin Clark.
Saint Preux (26-17 MMA, 14-12 UFC), a long-serving UFC light heavyweight, joined the promotion in April 2013 after the Strikeforce merger. In his most recent bout in February 2023, Saint Preux suffered a 49-second TKO loss to Philipe Lins and faced a six-month USADA suspension due to a tainted supplement.
The fight between Nzechukwu and Saint Preux adds to an already exciting UFC Fight Night lineup for March 16, featuring notable matchups like Tai Tuivasa vs. Marcin Tybura, Thiago Moises vs. Brad Riddell, and more.
Fans anticipate an action-packed light heavyweight showdown between Nzechukwu and Saint Preux, with official confirmation from the Ultimate Fighting Championship expected in the near future.
