Saint Preux outlasts 'Feijao' for decision win
Ovince Saint Preux fought through a foot injury to defeat Rafael Cavalcante at UFC Fight Night 82 on Saturday.
A misplaced kick seemed to hinder "OSP" for the majority of the first round, though there was almost no attempt to capitalize on it by a listless "Feijao."

Even as it became apparent that Saint Preux was having issues planting his foot, Feijao remained overly cautious, giving his opponent plenty of time to recover. Saint Preux dropped Feijao in the first round, and ended each period in top position.
The two fighters showed little of the skills that made them standouts in the now-defunct Strikeforce promotion, with Saint Preux content to sit in Feijao's guard, and Feijao content to do absolutely nothing.
Feijao failed to make an impression in his first fight in 18 months, and he hasn't recorded a win since November 2013.
Saint Preux bounces back from a loss to Glover Teixeira last August.
