At UFC 282, on December 11 at the popular T-Mobile Arena, middleweights American Ovince Saint Preux and Brazilian Antonio Trocoli will meet in one of the early prelim card events. The bout is planned to start at 02:00 UK time. Veteran Ovince St. Preux will face the organization’s debutant Antonio Trocoli. It should be noted that the Haitian native has already had two opponents in the tournament.
Even a little-known debutant will be able to deal with the current version of Ovince St. Preux. We have to face it – the Haitian’s best years are long behind him. He is unlikely to be able to compete on equal terms with a younger and hungrier opponent. It is more likely that Trokoli will be capable of outclassing the veteran, both in the stand-up and parterre.
Ovince “OSP” St-Preux has 42 pro fights under his belt (26 wins, 16 losses). The fighter representing the United States is 39 years old and has a brown belt in the ranks. His last fight was against Mauricio Rua, who he defeated by a split decision. But on the whole, “OSP” can’t boast the stability anymore – four wins in the last 10 fights. Ovince has completely lost his knack for holding his punches and has also become too slow and predictable.
He stands out with certain skills in the stand-up and is also a threat on the cover. But lately, He has won over Nikita Krylov, Mauricio Rua, Marcos Rogerio De Lima, Yushin Okami, Corey Anderson, Alonzo Menifield, and many others. Interestingly enough, he is the only one who has been able to land 3 shoulder choke holds in the UFC. Ranked 27th in the lightweight division of the world.
Antonio “Malvado” Trocoli is a 31-year-old Brazilian fighter, from El Salvador. UFC debutant Antonio Trokoli has got himself the chance of a lifetime. Having competed for all the way in second-rate promotions, the fighter has signed with the world’s leading league on short notice. “Malvado” has 12 wins and three losses to his credit and is 31 years old. The level of opposition has had a very weak career, so he is a real dark horse in this confrontation.
Possesses excellent jiu-jitsu skills, so succeeds mainly by winning by submissions.
In 2021, a local promotion (which he co-founded) in Rio Diaz, “Malvado” won the first round by rear-neck choke and on short notice accepts Alexander Gustafson’s replacement (Phillip Lins was his replacement).
