It looks like Ovince St. Preux won’t be competing at UFC 282 after all.
The former interim light heavyweight title challenger has been removed from Saturday’s card after Antonio Trocoli, St. Preux’s third prospective opponent, withdrew as a result of visa issues. MMAFighting.com was first to report Trocoli’s exit from the event, while MMAjunkie.com confirmed that the promotion was unable to find a fourth replacement for “OSP.”
UFC 282 will proceed with 13 bouts. That card takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and is headlined by a light heavyweight championship clash between Jan Blachowicz and Magomed Ankalaev.
