A light heavyweight clash has been added to
UFC Fight Night 238.

Undefeated Brazilian standout Vitor
Petrino (10-0) will take on Australian veteran Tyson Pedro
(10-4) at the UFC Fight Night event, which is set to go down at the
UFC Apex in Las Vegas on March 2. The matchup was announced by Petrino on Instagram.

Petrino earned his
Ultimate Fighting Championship contract with a technical
knockout win over Rodolfo
Bellato in an appearance on
Dana White’s Contenders Series in September 2022. The Brazilian
has since picked up three victories in the last year, including two
finishes. In his most recent outing, Petrino scored a brutal Round
2 knockout win over Modestas
Bukauskas in November.

Meanwhile, Pedro has gone 6-4 in his UFC run, which includes wins
over the likes of Paul Craig
and Khalil
Rountree Jr. The Australian fan favorite has never gone the
distance in his 10 career wins. Pedro is coming off a first-round
KO win over Anton
Turkalj at
UFC 293 in September that saw him bounce back from a decision
loss to Bukauskas.

UFC Fight Night 238 will also feature Jairzinho
Rozenstruik vs. Shamil
Gaziev at heavyweight and Muhammad
Mokaev vs. Alex Perez at
flyweight.
