UFC On ESPN 19 Hermansson vs Vettori
Saint Preux has some impressive staying power, if nothing else. The guy’s been a fixture of the division since 2013, and every time it looks like he’s finally done.
he pulls a Von Flue or brutal knockout out of nowhere to stay in the running.
He’ll need another miracle here, as Hill, the rare Light Heavyweight with comparable dimensions to “OSP”, is the faster, smoother, and above all busier striker.
He landed more significant strikes in the second round of his win over Darko Stosic than Saint Preux has in any fight since his 2017 split decision loss to Volkan Oezdemir.
Saint Preux’s anemic output simply won’t work here when he doesn’t have a significant length advantage to exploit.
he needs a one-punch finish to win this on the feet, and he doesn’t throw enough to make that feasible against a kickboxer of this caliber.
