Ovince St. Preux vs. Marcos Rogerio De Lima Full Fight Video Highlights

Barely a year removed from his interim title shot against legendary former champ Jon Jones, Ovince St. Preux had his back against the wall following three straight losses heading into his bout with Marcos Rogerio de Lima at last night’s UFC Fight Night 108 from his adopted home state of Tennessee. The pressure was compounded by

The pressure was compounded by the fact that de Lima missed weight by a whopping four pounds, raising questions as to if he actually had trouble making weight or just wanted to have the biggest size advantage possible for the bout.

In the end it didn’t matter, however, because after some heavy body kicks from his foe in the first round, St. Preux settled into a groove in the second frame to batter and bloody a grounded de Lima. The Brazilian slugger then chose to hold on to a headlock from bottom half guard, a decision we’ve seen one of St. Preux’s adversaries pay for dear in a previous bout. Not surprisingly, the hometown favorite locked on his patented Von Flue choke to get the win and some loud chants of “OSP” to go with it.

Watch the highlights of his pivotal comeback win:

UFC Fighter Receives Massive Fine For Missing Weight AGAIN

Another day, another UFC fighter misses weight. That was the case at today’s (Fri., April 21, 2017) UFC Fight Night 108 early weigh-ins, where light heavyweight Marcos Rogerio de Lima weighed in at 210 pounds – a whopping four pounds over the light heavyweight non-title limit – for his bout versus Ovince St. Preux tomorrow night

Another day, another UFC fighter misses weight.

That was the case at today’s (Fri., April 21, 2017) UFC Fight Night 108 early weigh-ins, where light heavyweight Marcos Rogerio de Lima weighed in at 210 pounds – a whopping four pounds over the light heavyweight non-title limit – for his bout versus Ovince St. Preux tomorrow night from Nashville, Tennessee.

It wasn’t the first time that Lima has been off on the scale, as he missed weight by 3.5 pounds before his win over Jeremy Kimball at January’s UFC on FOX 23, prompting his employers to fine him 30 percent of his purse, 10 percent more than the customary 20 percent. According to a report from MMA Fighting, the UFC has the authority to increase the amount of a fighter’s fine if they so choose:

“Athletes that miss weight are subject to a penalty of their purse at the discretion of the promotion and the state athletic commission. As this was Lima’s second consecutive weight management issue, the penalty was increased to 30 percent, which was agreed to by all parties involved. Each penalty is reviewed and handled on a case-by-case basis.”

St. Preux came in on point at 206 pounds, and the bout will go on as a catchweight bout, but it’s important to note that “OSP” will come into the fight with at least something of a minor disadvantage in a fight he badly needs to win after dropping three straight bouts in the octagon.

The UFC’s problems with weight cutting and their new earlier time continue, although it’s far from guaranteed de Lima would have been able to drop another four pounds before this evening’s ceremonial weigh-ins anyway.

Does the punishment fit the crime for de Lima? Does he desevre even more of a fine?

Check Out Jon Jones’ Latest Callout Of Daniel Cormier

Not surprisingly, interim light heavyweight champion Jon Jones is ramping up the trash talk on arch rival Daniel Cormier heading into their long-awaited rematch in the main bout of July 9’s UFC 200 from Las Vegas, Nevada. After Jones beat Cormier by decision at January 2015’s UFC 182, he was unceremoniously stripped of the title

The post Check Out Jon Jones’ Latest Callout Of Daniel Cormier appeared first on LowKick MMA.

After Jones beat Cormier by decision at January 2015’s UFC 182, he was unceremoniously stripped of the title after he agreed to a plea deal on felony hit-and-run charges that left a 25-year-old pregnant woman with a broken arm in his second home of Albuquerque, New Mexico. A path was opened for Cormier to win the vacant title, and he did by beating Anthony Johnson at UFC 187.

The two were supposed to settle their differences at last month’s UFC 197, but a leg injury to ‘DC’ forced Ovince Saint Preux to fill in for Cormier, and he lost a one-sided decision to the ultra-talented icon.

When UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor was pulled from his main event rematch with Nate Diaz at UFC 200, Jones vs. Cormier 2 became the new main event for the summer blockbuster even though Jones had a potential six-month medical suspension and Cormier’s health was still a question mark.

But for now, the two bitter enemies are set to collide once again and finally settle their rivalry, so Jones got on Instagram to blast his No. 1 counterpart with a jab at their now-infamous brawl at the UFC 178 media day in 2014, and also at Cormier’s supposed wrestling advantage based on their first bout. Check it out:

Man #UFC200 can’t come soon enough #champion2016????

Earlier today (Wed., April 27, 2016) the UFC confirmed that interim light heavyweight champion Jon Jones would take on arch rival champion Daniel Cormier in the main event of July 9’s blockbuster UFC 200 during a MMA-themed segment of “Good Morning America.”

The booking of the impromptu main event, which was a necessity when Conor McGregor was unceremoniously removed from his rematch with Nate Diaz after refusing to make the promotional rounds, hardly came as a surprise, as it was leaked when a photo of the main event poster surfaced online.

While it’s no doubt a serviceable, if not spectacular, headlining bout for the stacked spectacular from Las Vegas’ all-new T-Mobile Arena, yet the awaited rematch, which has been predicted to take place ever since Jones outlasted Cormier by decision at UFC 182 last year, is far from guaranteed to happen.

After all, Jones just returned to defeat Ovince Saint Preux in a somewhat lackluster return bout at last weekend’s (April 23, 2016) UFC 197 following a yearlong battle with legal trouble, which he’s far from out of the woods with after violating his probation. That obviously adds a ton of uncertainty, and Cormier’s leg injury that forced him out of UFC 197 is another concern that has apparently been alleviated (at least for now).

Add that to the potential six-month medical suspension that Jones received for an injured foot in his win over Saint Preux (which the UFC is clearly banking he’ll be healed from by July), and you have a bout wrought with uncertainty with two-and-a-half months still ticking down.

What do you think? Will Jones vs. Cormier actually happen at UFC 200?

It looks like the long-awaited Daniel Cormier vs. Jon Jones rematch to unify the light heavyweight titles will have to wait and headline another card other than July 9’s UFC 200 from Las Vegas.

News came today that Jones will potentially be on the sidelines for six months pending an x-ray on his left foot after his one-sided decision win over Ovince Saint Preux in the main event of last Saturday’s tonight’s (Sat., April 23, 2016) UFC 197 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena, also in Las Vegas.

Jones was spotted with the injury backstage, but insisted he was perfectly fine at the event’s post-fight presser. He could be cleared by an orthopedic doctor even if his x-ray is positive; however, if it is not, Jones will be out of action until October 21, 2016.
