Andre Petroski

ANALYSIS
Petroski will look to improve his win streak to four against Shahbazyan, who is also 1-0 in 2025. In Petroski's case, his streak includes wins over Josh Fremd, Dylan Budka and Rodolfo Vieira.

ANALYSIS
Full marks to Petroski and his team for employing a game plan that would lead to victory. Knowing full well the edge Vieira would have if he was able to get him to the mat, Andre sold out to stuff the takedown and did just that, denying 10-of-11 attempts that came his way. He spent virtually no time in a compromising position on the mat, and that allowed Petroski to do just enough on the feet to win two of the three rounds. Andre has been extremely active of late, fighting three times since last July and winning each bout via unanimous decision.

ANALYSIS
Petroski began 2024 with a loss to Jacob Malkoun (undisclosed) at UFC Atlantic City. The former has won two straight bouts since then and will now be asked to take Malkoun's place against Vieira, who has also won two consecutive fights.

ANALYSIS
It was a boring, uninspired performance, but Petroski did what he had to to emerge victorious against an opponent who missed weight by 2.5 pounds Friday morning. Andre went to his wrestling game repeatedly, landing three total takedowns for 9:20 worth of control time. He did minimal damage from top position, but Budka accomplished nothing, so the result was never in doubt. The 33-year-old Pennsylvania native has now picked up back-to-back victories on the heels of a brief two-fight losing streak.

ANALYSIS
Budka missed the middleweight limit by 2.5 pounds, resulting in Petroski fighting a heavier opponent Saturday. Either way, Petroski will look to build up a winning streak after defeating Josh Fremd not even multiple months ago.
