Ovince Saint Preux wasn’t compensated after COVID-19 removal, but happy with quick rebooking at UFC Vegas 9

After being removed from the UFC on ESPN 15 co-main event with Alonzo Menifield due to a positive COVID-19 test, Ovince Saint Preux has entered this fight week in good sprits.

“OSP” faces Menifield this Saturday night at UFC Vegas 9 at the UFC APEX in a light heavyweight matchup. Saint Preux’s removal came as a surprise since it happened just before the event was about to begin. Both fighters successfully made weight and faced off, but it’s an uncertain time due to the ongoing global pandemic.

“Probably three hours before the card got started is when I found out,” Saint Preux told MMA Fighting while appearing on What the Heck.
