Ovince St Preux is a Haitian-American mixed martial artist,[1] who competes in the light heavyweight division for Strikeforce. Ovince trains at the KNOXVILLE MARTIAL ARTS ACADEMY, 'KMAA', in Knoxville TN.
Early life
Ovince was a star wrestler in high school and played defensive end/linebacker at the University of Tennessee. He played for the Vols from 2001-2004. After graduating in 2004 with a degree in Sociology, he became heavily involved in MMA and began to train in kickboxing and grappling.[2]
Mixed martial arts career
Ovince's professional MMA debut came at VFC 1 - Vengeance Fighting Championship against Rodney Wallace, which he lost by decision. In his second MMA match, he suffered another decision loss. His next match came against Robert Turner which he won by a brutal head kick at XFC 7 - School of Hard Knox. St. Preux was a runner-up for Inside MMA's Submission of The Year for 2009 with a calf slicer against Ombey Mobley, but his submission was beaten for the award by Toby Imada's reverse triangle.
Strikeforce
In June 2010, Ovince signed a multi-fight deal with Strikeforce.[3] His debut match came against Chris Hawk at Strikeforce - Nashville, which he won due to TKO (punches) in the first round.
After knocking out UFC veteran Jason Day in eight seconds outside the Strikeforce organization, he returned to fight Antwain Britt in his second Strikeforce fight on a ShoMMA Strikeforce Challengers event. He won by unanimous decision.[4]
Ovince returned to action less than a month after his win over Britt to fight UFC and Strikeforce veteran Benji Radach on the main card of Strikeforce: St. Louis.[5] St. Preux defeated Radach via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-26, 30-25).
St. Preux competed in his third Strikeforce fight in less than seven weeks and faced Abongo Humphrey on January 7, 2011 at Strikeforce Challengers: Woodley vs. Saffiedine.[6] He won the fight via unanimous decision.
