Petroski announced the pairing via social media. The UFC Fight
Night event takes place at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New
Jersey and features a women’s flyweight scrap pitting Erin
Blanchfield against Manon
Fiorot.
Petroski last appeared at UFC Fight Night 230 on Oct. 14, when he
suffered a first-round technical knockout loss against Michel
Pereira. That snapped a five-bout promotional winning streak
for the 32-year-old Renzo Gracie
Philly product.
Malkoun, meanwhile, has lost two of his last three bouts under the
UFC banner. In his lone outing of 2023, the 28-year-old Australian
suffered a disqualification defeat at UFC Fight Night 228 when he
landed an illegal elbow against Cody
Brundage 4:15 into the opening stanza of their Sept. 23
encounter.
