Ovince St.
Preux will meet Jamahal
Hill in a light heavyweight scrap at an Ultimate Fighting
Championship event on Dec. 5.
Multiple outlets confirmed the pairing following an initial report
from
Cageside Press. The card takes place at the UFC Apex in Las
Vegas and is headlined by a middleweight showdown between Darren Till
and Jack
Hermansson.
After a brief foray at heavyweight, which resulted in a loss to
Ben
Rothwell at UFC Fight Night 171, St. Preux returned to 205
pounds at UFC Fight Night 176, where he knocked out Alonzo
Menifield in the second round on Sept. 5. “OSP” is 15-10 over
the course of his tenure with the Las Vegas-based promotion.
A competitor on Season 3 of Dana White’s Contender Series, Hill is
unbeaten in eight professional outings thus far. However, a
first-round TKO of Klidson
Abreu at UFC on ESPN 9 was overturned to a no contest after
Hill tested positive for marijuana. He debuted in the Octagon with
a unanimous verdict over Darko
Stosic.
