Grounded by Rodolfo Vieira
MiddleweightUFC
February 10, 2024
Petrosyan lost to Rodolfo Vieira via submission (arm-triangle choke) at 4:48 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
The largest and most serious concern for Petrosyan in this fight was that his quality striking skills would be completely and thoroughly negated by the submission game of Vieira. That ended up being exactly the case. Rodolfo isn't a known wrestler, but he still connected on all three of his takedown attempts. Armen looked confused and overwhelmed with Vieira on top of him, which will happen to a lot of guys. The 33-year-old Armenian has shown more good than bad during his time with the UFC, although consistency has been an issue. He's 3-2 in his first five bouts with the company.

Vieira fight now in Vegas
MiddleweightUFC
November 30, 2023
Petrosyan will compete against Rodolfo Vieira in a middleweight fight at the UFC's Feb. 10 event in Las Vegas, according to Guilherme Cruz of MMAFighting.com.
ANALYSIS
Petrosyan and Vieira got their fight re-scheduled to a Vegas card nearly three months down the line. This bodes much better for the former, who will no longer have to deal with a home-country disadvantage.
Draws Vieira in Brazil
MiddleweightUFC
September 25, 2023
Petrosyan will take on Rodolfo Vieira in a middleweight matchup at UFC Sao Paulo on November 4, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Petrosyan has won three of four fights since officially entering the UFC in 2022, and despite some solid striking performances, all four have ended up going to the judges. Statistically, he'll hold a sizable striking volume advantage, which Vieira will presumably look to negate with his wrestling. Petrosyan has been taken down multiple times in two of his three victories, and sports a takedown defense of 36 percent that leaves much to be desired. Vieira, meanwhile, averages an impressive 3.70 takedowns per 15 minutes of fight time. Petrosyan will also have a hostile crowd to deal with, fighting in his opponent's native Brazil.
Takes decision in Vegas
MiddleweightUFC
June 17, 2023
Petrosyan defeated Christian Leroy Duncan via unanimous decision (30-27, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC on ESPN 47 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It was a very workmanlike performance from Petrosyan. Entering as a +125 underdog, he kept things simple, as opposed to Duncan, who spent the entire fight throwing flashy, unorthodox shots which had very little chance of landing. The only time Armen found himself in any trouble was midway through Round 3. He got clipped a couple times and appeared to be wobbly, but he simply pushed forward for a takedown, forced Duncan to the man and cruised to the final bell. The 32-year-old Armenian has very quietly picked up victories in three of his first four UFC bouts, with the lone setback coming against highly-regarded middleweight rising star Caio Borralho.

Petrosyan was scheduled to fight Andre Petroski at UFC 288, but the matchup never happened. Instead, Superman will fight one of the company's relatively new debutants. Duncan defeated Dusko Todorovic via injury during his UFC debut back in March.
Fourth UFC bout booked
MiddleweightUFC
February 27, 2023
Petrosyan will take on Andre Petroski at UFC 288 on May 6, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Petrosyan bounced back from his first UFC loss against Caio Borralho in July with a unanimous decision victory against A.J. Dobson in October. He will hope to get to 3-1 with the promotion when he takes on Petroski in early May.
