Matched up with Nzechukwu
Saint Preux will fight Kennedy Nzechukwu at UFC Vegas 88 on March 16, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
March's bout will mark Saint Preux's first fight back from his six-month suspension that came after he tested positive for a banned substance. The 40-year-old light heavyweight hasn't won a fight since 2022 and his extended absence puts him at risk of displaying rust during his return.

Suspended for six months
Saint Preux has been suspended for six months by USADA after testing positive for a banned substance, according to Aaron Bronsteter of TSN.ca.
ANALYSIS
Saint Preux tested positive on two separate urine tests. Fortunately for him, both were ruled as a single violation because he was not notified of the first sample when giving his second tainted supplement. Presuming the first violation is when his suspension begins, Saint Preux will not be able to schedule a fight until Dec. 17. Regardless of when the light heavyweight will return, it is not in 2023.

No-shows loss in Vegas
Saint Preux lost to Philipe Lins via KO (punches) at 0:49 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Saint Preux has been trending in the wrong direction for several years, but this was the first time he truly looked like he didn't belong inside the Octagon. OSP got cracked with a left hand in the early going and was never able to recover. He found himself up against the fence and either couldn't, or wouldn't, return fire. Lins continued teeing off until referee Mark Smith had finally seen enough. Sporting a 2-4 record in his past half-dozen bouts dating back to May 2020, OSP's time in the UFC appears to just about be up.
