Saint Preux made his UFC debut in 2013, knocking out Gian Villante with a technical decision in Newark and submitting Cody Donovan with first-round punches in Boston. His collegiate football athleticism, southpaw kicking power, and striking entries are reflected in an 80 Boxing and 80 Wrestling rating.
Saint Preux authored finishes across 2014 and 2015, submitting Nikita Krylov with a Von Flue choke in Louisville, knocking out former champion Mauricio Rua in 34 seconds in Uberlandia, Brazil, and knocking out Patrick Cummins with an uppercut in Newark. His power punching anchors his 83 Boxing and 82 Wrestling.
In 2016, Saint Preux stepped up on short notice to battle Jon Jones across five rounds for the interim light heavyweight title at UFC 197. In 2017 he submitted Marcos Rogerio de Lima and Yushin Okami with Von Flue chokes, then knocked out Corey Anderson with a third-round walk-off head kick at UFC 217.
