Drops decision after missing weight
Peterson lost to Julian Erosa via split decision (28-29, 29-28, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
This was a tremendously fun fight in which both men battered each other from pillar to post. Unfortunately for Peterson, he lost, and to make matters worse, he forfeited 30 percent of his purse to Erosa after missing weight by three pounds on Friday morning. Peterson actually landed 104 total strikes compared to just 99 from Erosa. Peterson was the better man in Round 2, but Erosa started strong and finished strong, and that's typically enough in the eyes of the judges. Peterson will not be eligible for any post-fight bonuses because of the weight miss, so the Fight of the Night that was awarded here will end up going entirely to Erosa. The loss also snaps a brief two-fight winning streak for the 31-year-old Texan.

Misses weight by three pounds
Peterson weighed in at 149 pounds -- three pounds over the featherweight limit --in advance of his scheduled fight against Julian Erosa on Saturday, MMAFighting.com reports.
ANALYSIS
It's not the second fight in a row where Peterson has missed weight, which won't do him any favors with UFC brass. The 31-year-old was a betting underdog of approximately (+230) or greater as of Saturday morning, but now he and Erosa will have to reach an agreement in order for this bout to proceed as planned.

Set to face Erosa
Peterson is set to fight Julian Erosa on Feb. 5 in a featherweight bout, according to Marcel Dorff of MMADNA.
ANALYSIS
Peterson, who owns a 19-9 record in MMA and a 3-3 mark at the UFC level, will aim to build off the win he recorded over Chase Hooper last June -- a win that was somewhat muted by the fact that he missed weight prior to that bout. This would be Peterson's second fight since September 2019, though ,so Erosa would have an edge over him in that category.
