One-time interim UFC light heavyweight title challenger Ovince St. Preux returned to the Octagon at UFC Vegas 69 to do battle with Brazilian Philipe Lins inside The APEX. Both fighters entered the bout with a win in their last appearance after dropping back-to-back bouts. Only one of them could leave Las Vegas with a second straight victory on Saturday night.
Lins opened things up with a straight left that connected cleanly and sent OSP immediately reeling. Lins already smelling blood in the water was in hot pursuit of OSP, unloading strikes as St. Preux attempted to circle away while against the fence. Lins landed another stiff left that dropped OSP. Pouncing on his opponent, Lins was able to deliver ground-and-pound strikes forcing the referee to step in and call for the stoppage less than a minute into the very first round.
Official Result: Philipe Lins def. Ovince St. Preux via KO at 0:49 of Round 1

Last night’s (Sat., October 6, 2018) UFC 229 is in the books from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. From knockouts to come-from-behind wins, the night lived up to lofty expectations. With so many heart-stopping moments and unexpected fiascos, it’s inevitably going to result in a mix of water cooler talk on Monday morning.
From Conor McGregor tapping out again, to the unbelievable comeback and heart of Derrick Lewis, to the unfortunate brawl after the awaited main event, UFC 229 was just one hell of a night.
Here are LowkickMMA’s eight biggest takeaways from the absolutely out-of-control UFC 229.
Khabib Should Be Arrested And/Or Stripped
By all accounts, UFC 229 was the biggest and most-watched fight card in company history. Yet Khabib Nurmagomedov decided to act a fool.
It’s a shame that such a masterful performance will be marred in controversy. But unfortunately that’s the situation with Khabib, and the sport of MMA finds itself in. What was he thinking as he scaled the cage and dove at Dillon Danis?
UFC President Dana White was noticeably subdued during the post-fight press conference when he explained that he doesn’t know what the future holds for the unbeaten champion. Several media members asked White if Khabib would be stripped of his lightweight title.
White chose his words carefully while addressing Khabib but did reveal that the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) is going to most likely slam the Dagestani for this actions on Saturday night.
Making matters worse for Khabib, Nevada’s governor was in attendance for UFC 229. Per White, the governor went running for his life when the brawl broke out. The governor oversees the athletic commission. That can’t bode well for the Dagestani.
UFC 229: Conor vs. Khabib is one of the most anticipated fight cards of the year. With five fights added to the event the rest of the card is starting to come together.
The UFC has officially booked the following five fights for UFC 229 (per Las Vegas Review Journal):
