Petroski recently confirmed the news via Instagram. UFC Vegas 102 —
also known as UFC Fight Night 251 — takes place at the UFC Apex in
Las Vegas and features a middleweight showdown between Jared
Cannonier and Gregory
Rodrigues.
Petroski is coming off consecutive decision triumphs over Josh Fremd
and Dylan Budka
in his last two UFC bouts. The Renzo Gracie
Philly product kicked off his promotional tenure with five straight
triumphs before dropping back-to-back fights against Michel
Pereira and Malkoun. His current winning streak improved his
overall UFC mark to 7-2.
A decorated Brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioner, Vieira has been
victorious in three of his last four Octagon appearances. Most
recently, he tapped out Armen
Petrosyan in the first frame at UFC Fight Night 236 last
February.
