Petroski recently confirmed the news via Instagram. UFC Vegas 102 — also known as UFC Fight Night 251 — takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and features a middleweight showdown between Jared Cannonier and Gregory Rodrigues.
Petroski is coming off consecutive decision triumphs over Josh Fremd and Dylan Budka in his last two UFC bouts. The Renzo Gracie Philly product kicked off his promotional tenure with five straight triumphs before dropping back-to-back fights against Michel Pereira and Malkoun. His current winning streak improved his overall UFC mark to 7-2.
A decorated Brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioner, Vieira has been victorious in three of his last four Octagon appearances. Most recently, he tapped out Armen Petrosyan in the first frame at UFC Fight Night 236 last February.
