Ovince Saint Preux

“I'm a different type of fighter, period.”

“I work at things I'm not good at.”

“My goal is to never be the same fighter I was the last time out.”

“I would have to say the best finish of my career, the top-two finishes is either Shogun and - I'm a give three. Shogun, Madison Square Garden with Corey Anderson, and Saitama Super Arena with Yushin Okami.”

“I always say 'I never quit football; football quit me.'”

“Ryan Bader is a household name. He was 'The Ultimate Fighter' champ.”

“The state of Tennessee is where I started off my MMA career.”

“I think the biggest change in my game is also the biggest distraction in my game. Me constantly trying to slow down things instead of being automatic. My earlier fights I didn't care.”

“Shogun has been in the game since before I ever thought anything about fighting.”

“People change, fighters change and styles change over time.”

“Fighting in front of your home crowd - not too many people get to do that often. So every time you do that, you want to capitalize on the situation.”

“With me, you don't know what I'm going to go for or when I'm going to go for them.”

“Usually I get in there, start exchanging punches and guys realize 'this dude hits hard,' or, 'he's too strong,' or 'he moves a little too fast for this weight class.' That's when you start to put that doubt into their mind and when I know it's my fight now.”

“My strength makes my technique better.”

“My coaches do a good job of reinventing me every time.”

“Eventually, my thing is at the end of the day anyone who beats me I'll end up wanting that rematch.”

“You look at me, and I'm a pretty good fighter.”

“I've taken fights on two weeks' notice.”

“I can hold my own with the best of them.”

“Every fight to me is the most important fight.”
