It took Philipe Lins less than a minute to finish Ovince Saint Preux with strikes Saturday at UFC Fight Night 219 . The light heavyweight bout was part of the event’s prelims at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and consisted almost exclusively of Lins (16-5 MMA, 2-2 UFC) chasing Saint Preux (26-17 MMA, 14-12 UFC) down. Lins poured it on until referee Mark Smith stepped in just 49 seconds into Round 1 after a left hook dropped “OSP.” LINS WASTED NO TIME #UFCVEGAS69 pic.twitter.com/eP70pywysY — ESPN MMA (@espnmma) February 18, 2023 Lins, 37, was the 2018 PFL heavyweight champion but has found his most success in the UFC at light heavyweight. The win Saturday extends his streak to two, also including a unanimous decision victory over Marcin Prachnio in April.
