Good evening , I wanted to make a proper announcement.
I am not currently with the UFC as a fighter. I am a free agent. Thank you
@danawhite
@Mickmaynard2
@seanshelby
and staff. I am also no longer represented by First Round Management as an athlete. Thank you.
God bless you all!
Much respect you sir
@marcgoddard_uk
! Thank you I love what I get to do. Came to fight left of my shield. God bless you and I appreciate your message. I hope to see you soon ๐ช๐ฟ Definitely Huge congrats on a such game shot
@Newmansa94
way to fight.
Even though the result didnโt go his way (and a huge congratulations to Joaquin Buckley for the truly spectacular) I must say
@kingimpa
attitude, spirit & conduct is an absolute joy to be around. Any man can learn a positive thing or two from you. What a man! ๐๐ฝ
Haha why say sorry! Iโm excited for him to return. I pray he does well. That knockout became a blessing in disguise. Iโm looking forward to Claiming my Victory with my team and I want him to get his!
Itโs fighting and I failed that night. Iโll continue to Claim Victories. โค๏ธโ๐ฅ
Not a trash talker. I respect you
@khaosOXwilliams
you are an excellent fighter. I asked for the winner of the fight before you and Semelsberger even fought. Congrats again! I am asking to fight you. If youโre healthy before summer is over or in the future. Iโd be Honored.
I accept. Once Iโm cleared Iโd be honored. ๐๐ฟ cleared in December. Possibly back in January/February at the latest. Anybody willing to fight Iโll be ready to go. I appreciate the support.
Oh no thatโs not what Iโm saying. Just currently not on the roster. Down the road Iโll get to do what Brandon Moreno did. God willing. My focus is to become get better, dominate fights, claim victories, become champion and live a full beautiful. That honors God and my family. โค๏ธ
Ovince Saint Preux will not be competing at this weekend's UFC 282 card after his opponent Antonio Trocoli withdrew from the event per UFC.
Trocoli was the 3rd opponent OSP was scheduled to face on the card following the prior withdrawals of Philipe Lins & Alexander Gustafsson.
Respectfully I choose to call out fighters coming off victories. Calling out a man who loses is disrespectful to me. I would gladly accept either opponent, but I want to respect somebodies time to mentally, physically, and spiritually recover after a loss. Honored to fight either
Thank you I receive it in Jesus Name. Learning and working. December 9th Iโll be cleared and ready to work. God bless you. Moving forward. There is nothing like fighting and doing what I love. Enjoying this path God has me on. I appreciate you ๐ช๐ฟโค๏ธ
If they want this fight Iโm fine with fighting you
@kingimpa
but donโt play the nice guy card because you are clearly try to jump steps here.
Either way, if
@ufc
wants it now here you get it but like I told you be careful what you wish for
@Mickmaynard2
@AliAbdelaziz00
Letโs Ride.
@MarvinVettori
I understand how it is having fights get turned down. Much respect. Letโs meet September 19. Iโm here to fights here to do what I love. Letโs get this fight. God bless you. Iโm here in Vegas. Letโs do it. We can fight this weekend too.

Appreciate you getting back to me. ๐๐ฟ
Blessed! The support has been incredible. Thank you ready for December to get here! Back to drilling, (no contact) , and watching film. Going to keep refining. All Glory to God. 55 days until I am cleared and allowed to accept a fight. Man I love what I get to do.โค๏ธ

@kingimpa
Impaโs post-fight behavior has resonated with fans.
Heโs TRIPLED his audience on Instagram โ growing from 11.6k followers to 36.4k since the fight.
This validates that fans connect with a fighters personality as much as their performance.
Need to fight somebody. It would be great to fight at least 12 times a year. Stay active. Definitely donโt agree that you โcanโt get better staying activeโ look at the great Muay Thai fighters, wrestlers, boxers, and kickboxers. Shoot would love to fight 20 times a year. Fight me
I used to pray for times like this! To fight like this (
@MeekMill
Dreams and Nigtmares flow) !
@ufc
man I love fighting!
@Mickmaynard2
I promise I wonโt slide notes under your door anymore ๐ thanks for the opportunity. Letโs Ride!
Iโd be honored to fight
@NoBickal
one day. Let him develop as a fighter over all. The true challenge and honor is fighting somebody at their best. I donโt want to discredit him. Amazing wrestling pedigree and I have great respect for his MMA pursuit.
@ufc
Iโm ready to fight.
UFC should resign
@kingimpa
and put him in there with
@NoBickal
for his next DWCS fight, since leaving he dropped a controversial decision in Eagle FC *to a Russian and just KOd Jared Gooden let's really see if Bo can pass a true test๐จ๐ฉ๐
I will usually listen to worship music and go for walks. When I listen to worship music I go to another place. It helps me realize God has never failed me and never will. So what ever I thought I needed to stress over wasnโt as big as I thought. Then I Get to over come it.
Man I look forward to getting back in the Octagon. There is nothing like it. Took some time to reorganize life. Man God is good. โค๏ธ I love fighting.

,
Thank you for coming to fight. It was an honor to share the Love Octagon with you. Respect for you and your team. I look forward to training together and seeing you soon. God blessโฆ

is all-in on mixed martial arts and chasing the UFC belt, and he hopes to take another step on that journey toward the welterweight title on September 18.
#UFCVegas37
Okay Twitter friends.Iโd like to stay connected with yโall as we wait for our next bout
4 questions
1. Should I get a game console ?
2. Should I create a
@Twitch
? ( I keep getting asked if I have one)
3. To start what games should I play?
4. Who would get online with me?
Much respect to all the fighters who went out there and fought their hearts out! Blessed To be a part of this great organization

Letโs get a contract signed. itโs a new day. God bless you all ๐๐ฟ
All Glory to God! Time to work! time to Claim Victory! Ready to do what I love.
โWait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.โ

The feeling of getting my hands before a fight. โค๏ธ nothing like it. Thank you God for the opportunity to do what I love every day. Stay tuned for my YouTube Channel coming soon. I look forward to taking you along for the ride of what I love.
One of the BIGGEST: never lose hope. Itโs easy to do when stressed or after failing in a moment is to reject a feeling or going back for the fear of failing again. Every day is a new day to obsess over your passion. Find a quiet place write and speak aloud what u are blessed with
I started in accounting and saved a little money, but I stayed at my parents home. I worked early mornings at the grocery store and evenings I would bounce. As time went on I started personal training clients. Grateful for the people God has put in my life.
Just spoke with Impa Kasanganay and he revealed a few gems.
His father will be in his corner again. (Last time he was in the corner was against Buckley)
He would love to fight Khaos Williams, D-Rod or Brady
Wants to return to Fight Island
Interview coming to

Blessed to do what I love as work. Blessed to be challenged daily. Blessed with a great support system.
Looking forward to getting my hands wrapped and putting on the 4oz beauties soon. ๐๐ฟ
Iโll up it. Even when I Claim the Victory if itโs not by finish you can have the check too. Commit to a contract you sign and come to fight. Thank you

Brendan Allen get's a new opponent for

on December 4th. Roman Dolidze is out (undisclosed reasons). Chris Curtis makes a quick return to the Octagon after his UFC debut win earlier this month.
Article later.
I never thought of it! Great idea. Iโll send you something signed since you came up with the idea! I will do a giveaway after We Claim Victory on the 10th! ๐ช๐ฟ๐ด
Thank you!Looking forward to getting back in there. Thanking God to come home healthy. Going to reflect and get back in the gym Monday. Would love to train, improve, and get back there in June or July.
Looking to fight at least 5 times this year
I always knew It never defined me and Iโm so blessed realized none of the trolling or backlash matters. I am not sitting in one moment in time that really became a blessing in disguise. I love to fight and where my focus is I have no time to dwell on it. So it makes it simple๐ค
Letโs Ride! Iโm ready to go. Iโm in Vegas already and can stay for next week
@Mickmaynard2
@MarvinVettori
if you pick a date ready to work. This weekend any day.
I choose to stay discipline. I made a commitment as an amateur that by Thursday every week I am able to make weight and Claim Victory on Saturday. This is my Calling, My Passion, and My Job. I must comport myself professionally. ๐
