Ovince Saint Preux

“If opportunity presented itself, I'll jump back up to heavyweight too, but 205 is my home, it's always been my home, and I'm feeling good at 205.”

“Every time someone looks at me, they look like 'what's going to happen next.'”

“I just want to make everybody back home proud.”

“Even with the heavyweight division and dabbling with all that, I can definitely do it again. I would do it again. It's crazy too, my first fight bumping up to heavyweight, I fought the most durable heavyweight pretty much in UFC history, and I think I did exceptionally well with him.”

“I tried out and I didn't get in. If I made it, I probably would have been 'The Ultimate Fighter' season winner but I'm not complaining. Things happen for a reason.”

“I pick up pretty quickly on pretty much everything.”

“I always do well in front of the home crowd. There's no pressure at all - you get fueled off that.”

“I'm naturally a 205 pounder, and as long as I stick to my diet and do everything well, I have an easy cut and I usually have a great fight.”

“The thing about me is that I'm super explosive and I can take you to the ground super quickly.”

“If I doubt myself in any which way, I already lost the fight before I got there.”

“As people, you can only push yourself to a certain. You're going to push yourself to the max. That's why you need a personal trainer, you need someone to push you.”

“With combat sports, a lot of it has to do with mental. You get people like Floyd Mayweather, Conor McGregor. Conor McGregor, he gets in your head before the fight even happens. By the time the fight happens, he doesn't worry about anything.”

“When I fought Volkan Oezdemir, I was supposed to fight Jan Blachowicz and that ended up changing two weeks before the fight. I've had a lot of things happen to me and I just roll with the punches.”

“I compare myself to a lot of guys, but I just don't realize how much bigger I am than these other guys.”

“Dominick Reyes is a southpaw and a counter fighter.”

“It's not that the heavyweight division is weak, it's not by any means. You look at a guy like Francis Ngannou, he touches you and he's going to bury you - not put you to sleep, but bury you.”

“It's hard to start doing something without having a name and it's easier to start something having a name. You can get more of a push for it.”

“I'm a guy of presentation. If you give it to me, I'm gonna take it. I might stick my head out there just to see what happens, but if it's there, I'm gonna take it.”

“When I fought Cummins my timing was perfect.”

“Every time I get a chance to help my parents out, I help them.”
