In the main event at UFC Fight Night 56, Ovince Saint Preux shocked the world when he knocked out Mauricio “Shogun” Rua just 34-seconds into the very first round.
Fabio Maldonado accepts Ovince Saint Preux’s challenge
Following the knockout victory, Saint Preux again shocked the MMA world. Rankings wise you would think he would be calling out someone in the top-10, but instead he decided to call out Anthony Perosh and Fabio Maldonado.
Just minutes after the call-out, Maldonado took to twitter to accept the challenge.
I never ran from a challenge. I thought you’d ask for someone better ranked than me. Challenge accepted @003_OSP @ufc pic.twitter.com/VxSFUienAQ
