Ovince St. Preux has jumped up to twelfth in the light heavyweight rankings on UFC.com, and while you might not recognize all the names he has defeated, you have to recognize the skill he's been displaying of late with his submission game. Earlier in his career, the Haitain-American fighter unleashed a calf slicer in a submission victory. In his last fight prior to UFC 174, he pulled off a rarely seen Von Flue choke. Last night, he broke Ryan Jimmo's arm while working on a Kimura. St. Preux is starting to look like a serious threat, dangerous on the mat, and with a solid stand up game as well. Which is important - he's not as one-dimensional as someone like Rousimar Palhares, who you know will go straight for your leg, but he's still going to try to get you to tap. St. Preux needs to face someone in the Top 10 next,
