Remains undefeated as pro
Petrino defeated Tyson Pedro via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It was an underwhelming effort from both men, but especially from Petrino considering he entered as upwards of a -400 favorite. This fight very easily could have been tied at a round a piece, at which point Vitor was finally able to get his wrestling game going. He connected on 3-of-4 takedown attempts in Round 3 alone, good for 4:08 of control time, ensuring he would win the decision. We've seen Petrino have some big offensive outbursts in the past, so perhaps this was simply an off night for the 26-year-old Brazilian. It's impossible to argue with his 4-0 record with the UFC, in addition to a knockout win on Dana White's Contender Series, that Petrino is due a bump up in competition his next time out.

Remains perfect in UFC
Petrino defeated Modestas Bukauskas via KO (punch) at 1:03 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
ANALYSIS
The competition level he has faced to date hasn't been great, but it's impossible to argue with the results from Petrino thus far. He landed a strong takedown in Round 1 before crushing Bukauskas with a left hook early in Round 2 which dropped him and ended the fight immediately. Petrino is a massive light heavyweight with high-end power, as Bukauskas found out first hand here. Still just 26 years of age, Petrino has won each of his first three official UFC bouts, this in addition to his knockout win on Dana White's Contender Series in September 2022. There's real potential here.

Set to face Bukauskas

ANALYSIS

Now, he'll look to remain unbeaten as a professional fighter when he squares off against Bukauskas, who has also won two straight UFC fights.
