LAS VEGAS – Ovince Saint Preux is one of the most senior (both in age and experience) fighters on the UFC roster, but Saturday proved he still has more left in the tank. On the UFC Fight Night 239 main card, Saint Preux (27-17 MMA, 14-12 UFC ) thrilled with a three-round slugfest against Kennedy Nzechukwu (12-5 MMA, 6-5 UFC ), whom he defeated by split decision. The fight as a whole, but particularly the third round, saw the two men stand in the pocket and go blow-for-blow. Saint Preux’s boxing and aggression proved to be the difference, as two of the three judges sided with him. “Man, to be honest again, I knew he don’t have that one (punch) knockout power,” Saint Preux told MMA Junkie and other reporters at a post-fight news conference
