With Thiago Silva in jail and cut from the UFC, Ovince St. Preux was in need of a new opponent as he had been scheduled to face off against the Brazilian on the UFC 171 undercard. Nikita Krylov asked for the fight on Twitter and got his wish as the UFC just announced that Krylov/OSP is official for that card.
Krylov is coming off a head kick KO of Walt Harris at the last UFC on Fox.
