Ovince Saint Preux (18-6 MMA) was last seen in action at April’s UFC on FOX 15 event, where he scored a first-round KO victory over Patrick Cummins. Prior to that, “OSP” was coming off another first-round finish over former UFC champion Mauricio “Shogun” Rua in November of 2014. Since joining the UFC ranks in April of 2013, “OSP” has gone an impressive 6-1, with his lone loss coming to Ryan Bader via decision.

Meanwhile, former UFC title challenger Glover Teixeira (22-4 MMA) will be looking to get back on track when he faces Saint Preux later this summer. Teixeira has suffered back-to-back losses in his most recent efforts, dropping decisions to Jon Jones and Phil Davis respectively. Prior to the setbacks, Glover had put together an amazing 20-fight win streak, which included 5 victories under the UFC banner.

UFC Fight Night 74 takes place August 8 live from Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. The main card airs on FOX Sports 1 following the prelims which are expected to air on UFC Fight Pass.
