The UFC has announced that Ovince Saint Preux will be fighting in his hometown of Nashville, Tennessee on April 22. For UFC Fight Night 108, he will be facing Marcos Rogerio de Lima in a light heavyweight bout.

The event is a major homecoming for Saint Preux. He previously played Division I college football for the Tennessee Volunteers. Saint Preux is currently on a three-fight losing streak, and he is likely in desperate need of a victory here in order to keep his spot on the roster. De Lima last fought at UFC on FOX 23, defeating Jeremy Kimball by knockout.

The event is set for the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville in April. The main card will be broadcast live on FS1. Prelims will be shown on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass. Tickets for the event go on sale on March 3.
