Andre Petroski secured a unanimous decision win over Rodolfo Vieira at UFC Vegas 102 and called out Bo Nickal for a future fight, but Nickal dismissed the challenge, citing fan expectations for tougher opponents.
Andre Petroski snagged a significant victory and followed it with a bold callout. Yet, it seems his wish won’t be granted.
Petroski secured a tough unanimous decision against grappling expert Rodolfo Vieira at UFC Vegas 102. After his win, he interrupted Daniel Cormier during the post-fight chat to challenge Bo Nickal.
“I just beat the most decorated grappler in the UFC,” declared Petroski. “Where is Bo Nickal? Where’s he at? Where’s Bo Nickal?” His words hung in the air, charged with anticipation.
Nickal, quick on the draw, fired back with a sharp retort. He didn’t mince words.
“I’d love to get an easy check but the fans say I can’t fight cans anymore,” Nickal quipped on Twitter. Ouch.
With Saturday’s victory, Petroski is now on a three-fight winning streak. His recent conquests include Dylan Budka and Josh Fremd via unanimous decisions.
Meanwhile, Bo Nickal remains undefeated, boasting a 4-0 record in the UFC. His latest triumph was over Paul Craig at UFC 309 in November—a career highlight for the former Penn State wrestling standout.
The tension between these fighters crackles like static electricity. Who knows what’ll happen next?
