Knoxville’s own Ovince Saint Preux (19-10) is fighting Saturday night at UFC Fight Night at Bridgestone Arena in a light heavyweight bout vs. Marcos Rogerio De Lima. You can watch the action, starting on FS2, at 6:30pm with the main card on FS1.

We talked about Ovince’s change in dedication to the sport, his motivations, his weight difference leading up to this fight, critics who think he should train in a big national camp, his KMAA teammates who compete for Valor Fights, what he thinks about getting caught-up in the Daniel Cormier/Jon Jones/Jimi Manuwa three-way verbal war where he gets mentioned often, his friend from Knoxville Scott Holtzman fighting on the card and much more!

Here’s my conversation with the former University of Tennessee football player turned UFC fighter, Ovince Saint Preux!
