Three Fights Added To UFC Fight Night Singapore, Including OSP
A trio of bouts are now set for the UFC Fight Night Singapore card as #8 Ovince St. Preux faces #12 Tyson Pedro, Jake Matthews faces Shinsho Anzai and Matt Schnell faces Naoki Inoue.
St. Preux (22-11-0) has won three of his last four under the UFC banner, but is coming off of a loss to Ilir Latifi at UFC On Fox 28. St. Preux has previously challenged for the UFC Interim Light Heavyweight Title, losing to then champion Jon Jones at UFC 197.
Pedro (7-1-0) has won three of four fights during his UFC tenure, with those wins coming over Khalil Rountree, Paul Craig and Saparbek Safarov. Pedro has earned seven wins as a professional MMA fighter, with all of those victories coming in the opening round.
Matthews (13-3-0) enters the contest in the midst of a two fight winning streak, defeating the duo of Bojan Velickovic and Li Jingliang. Matthews has seen his last three fights go the distance and it has been almost two years since the fighter got a finish.
Anzai (10-2-0) comes into the fight riding a two bout winning streak, last defeating Luke Jumeau at UFC Fight Night Japan. Anzai has seen just three of his professional MMA bouts go to a decision and the fighter has walked away victorious each time.
Schnell (10-4-0) is looking to build on the momentum of his first UFC win, which came over Marco Beltran at UFC 216. Schnell has also suffered two defeats thus far in UFC competition and both of those losses came by way of KO/TKO.
Inoue (11-0-0) has already earned one victory in the UFC, with that win coming over Carls John De Tomas at UFC Fight Night Singapore 2017. Inoue has fought a total of eleven times as a professional MMA fighter and only one of his bouts have gone past the second round.
UFC Fight Night Singapore takes place on Saturday, June 23 from the Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore with Donald Cerrone and Leon Edwards headlining. Fightful is providing live coverage of the event, while broadcast plans have yet to be announced.
