Ovince Saint Preux plans to appeal UFC loss to Tanner Boser, says referee turned the tide

Ovince Saint Preux is hoping his TKO loss to Tanner Boser this past weekend at UFC Vegas 30 will be changed to a no contest.

Saint Preux was stopped in the second round by Boser after the Canadian landed a big knee followed by a barrage of punches to get the win. Just before that sequence took place Boser appeared to grab the fence whilst getting back to his feet, which prompted referee Jason Herzog to touch Saint Preux’s back as Boser got back to his feet.

“I felt the ref put his hand on my back, which is only done to pause the action or call a finish,” Saint Preux told MMA Fighting.
