Round 1: Michal Oleksiejczuk took the fight to Ovince Saint Preux from the get-go. Michal kept getting into the pocket and tagging Saint Preux on multiple occasions in the first minute.

He then rocked Saint Preux with a big right, before cutting the reach advantage of his opponent and landing left-hand shots. Saint Preux did attempt a takedown but Michal put up a solid defence to stuff it.

Michal mixed it up with punches to the body and the head. He connected with a lead overhand and kept going back to the lefts. He connected with a few 1-2s and continued to go forward, a tactic OSP certainly didn't like. OSP attempted a head kick to end the round.

Round 2: OSP began with kicks to keep Michal at bay, however, Michal kept pushing forward to connect the lead left. They clinched for sometime before breaking up as OSP checked with a hook.

OSP, though, realized his mistakes from the first round and tried to maintain distance. He used some body kicks but also ate a few shots in the process.

Michal went for a wild left-hand shot, OSP ducked and took him down in half guard. He pushed him against the cage and then wrapped Michal's arm around his neck and put on the pressure with his shoulder to tighten the Von Flue choke.

Michal had nowhere to go and tapped as a result.

Result: Ovince Saint Preux def. Michal Oleksiejczuk via submission (Von Flue choke) (2:14, Round 2)

Saint Preux has done it again! The former Light Heavyweight title contender notched up his fourth Von Flue finish - the most in UFC history, and as a result, snapped a 2-fight losing streak.
