Ovince St. Preux, a former UT linebacker, is now a MMA fighter and posted his 7th straight win tonight with a dominant performance against Abongo Humphrey.

He is 10-4 overall and a very great prospect

I'm not a UT fan but I found a few vids of him on youtube. First thing I noticed is that unlike a lot of former football players he doesn't go out and try to overwhelm his opponent with his athleticism, which nearly alway turns out bad anyway. He seems to have a good wrestling base and decent developing striking skills and very good cardio for a former footballer (most blow up in the first round).

Biggest things I see that he needs are a good grappling coach and a good boxing coach. He doesn't have much of a bottom game and I think he could develop one with some decent coaching. He also reaches too much on his punches, again, something a good coach could correct easily.

Overall a pretty good prospect in my opinion.

I believe he was at the Witten camp several years ago. I am a UT fan I probably have his autograph some where in my stack of stuff. He didn't play alot as I remember. Good for him.

He was 6-0 in 2010. He gassed last night, and still won, but dude's been fighting an insane amount here lately. Very good prospect imo as well.

I remember him. I knew he did this too. He never did much on the field and is having much more success with the MMA stuff.

Didnt he fight about a year or so ago in kind of a midlevel MMA event near here? Maybe Knoxville or Cincy or something on the undercard?

[Biggin]

He fought on the Strikeforce: Nashville (second biggest MMA company, only behind the UFC) undercard last year, maybe thats waht you are talking about

[1inStripes]

Maybe so. It seems like he was talked about on here then.
