Tonight Ovince St-Preux stepped up on short notice and delivered a devastating knockout to former champion Mauricio Rua. Then Twitter exploded with praise for the winner and respect for the legendary ‘Shogun’:
Saint Preux landed a left hook as Shogun was coming in, dropping him. Then he pounced. Unbelievable. TKO.

It breaks my heart but that is probably it for Shogun. Such a legend.

Maybe should've taken Joe Rogan more seriously when [he said] that Ovince Saint Preux was a destroyer.
