Andre Petroski

USA

Second straight knockout loss
MiddleweightUFC
March 31, 2024
Petroski lost to Jacob Malkoun via TKO (strikes) at 0:39 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Atlantic City.
ANALYSIS
Well, that's a new one. With the crowd firmly behind him, Petroski was doing very well as an underdog, winning Round 1. Yet, he pushed forward for a takedown early in Round 2 and appeared to either knock himself out or hurt his neck on the attempt. Malkoun took full advantage, firing off a kick to the body which forced the immediate stoppage. It's a result Andre simply couldn't afford on the heels of a 66-second knockout loss to Michel Pereira last October. He needs a victory his next time out if he hopes to extend his time with the company.

Petroski is slated to face off against Jacob Malkoun at UFC Atlantic City on Mar. 30, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.

Lasts 66 seconds in Vegas

Petroski lost to Michel Pereira via TKO (punches) at 1:06 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Stepping in for Marc-Andre Barriault on short notice, it's the first career UFC defeat for Petroski. A noted grappler that struggled at times in prolonged striking exchanges, he never even got to attempt a takedown attempt in this fight because Pereira dropped him with one massive right hand and closed the show with some follow-up shots. Now 5-1 with the company, a late-notice loss for Andre isn't all that concerning, but he will need a rebound performance his next time out.
Set to face Pereira

Petroski will fight Michel Pereira at UFC Vegas 81 on Oct. 14 after Marc-Andre Barriault (undisclosed) was ruled out, according to Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Petroski owns a 5-0 record in UFC, but he'll put that perfect run to a test, considering he has a little more than one week to prepare for this bout. Petroski's last fight happened on Aug. 20, when he defeated Gerald Meerschaert via split decision (29-28, 29-28, 28-29) at UFC 292 in Boston.
Improves to 5-0 in UFC
MiddleweightUFC
August 20, 2023
Petroski defeated Gerald Meerschaert via split decision (29-28, 29-28, 28-29) at UFC 292 on Saturday in Boston.
ANALYSIS
It was a close opening frame that saw only 24 combined significant strikes landed, but Petroski's victory likely came down to two of the three judges seeing Round 1 in his favor. Round 2 was clearly Petroski's, as he landed a knockdown and nearly put Meerschaert away. As is typically the knock on Petroski, he tends to fade late in fights, and that was again the case here. Meerschaert landed 42 significant strikes to Petroski's 15 in the final frame, in addition to earning a takedown and 1:54 of control time in the round. It didn't matter, as Petroski had seemingly locked things up before that point. He's now 5-0 in the UFC, but the cardio issues will be worth watching as the competition level undoubtedly begins to rise.
Taking on Meerschaert

June 2, 2023
Petroski will take on Gerald Meerschaert in a middleweight duel at UFC 292 on Aug. 19 in Boston, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports Friday.
ANALYSIS
Petroski escaped his last UFC fight with a victory, topping Wellington Turman via unanimous decision back in November. UFC 292 will be his first UFC contest since, although has fought in two grappling matches since. His opponent Meerschaert is coming off two consecutive losses to Joe Pyfer, one in a UFC bout and the other grappling match.
