Andre Petroski got a big win, issued a big-name callout, but it doesn’t appear he’ll get his wish.
Petroski earned a hard-fought unanimous decision win over grappling ace Rodolfo Vieira at UFC Vegas 102 on Saturday at the APEX. Following the win, Petroski halted Daniel Cormier attempting to end the post-fight interview before turning his attention to Bo Nickal for a future fight.
“I just beat the most decorated grappler in the UFC,” Petroski said. “Where is Bo Nickal? Where is he at? Where’s Bo Nickal?”
It didn’t take long for Nickal to respond, and he certainly delivered quite the comeback towards the man who just challenged him.
“I’d love to get an easy check but the fans say I can’t fight cans anymore,” Nickal said on Twitter.
Petroski has now won three straight with the victory on Saturday, which also includes unanimous decisions over Dylan Budka and Josh Fremd. Nickal has won all of his pro bouts, including a 4-0 start in the UFC. In his most recent outing, the former Penn State wrestling star picked up the biggest win of his career as he earned a unanimous decision win over Paul Craig at UFC 309 in November.
