VITOR PETRINO VS TYSON PEDRO LOWDOWN
Vitor Petrino (10-0) stormed into the UFC after knocking out Rodolfo Bellato (2022) on the Contender Series. He has kept up the momentum with a perfect 2023. He outpointed Anton Turkalj, submitted Marcin Prachnio and is coming off a vintage knockout over Modestas Bukauskas.
Tyson Pedro (10-3) is also coming off fights against Turkalj and Bukauskas. He reeled off two savage knockouts before losing a unanimous decision to Bukauskas at UFC 284. He then met the Swede where he went one better than Petrino knocking him out in the first round.
VITOR PETRINO VS TYSON PEDRO PREDICTION
This is a very exciting fight between two finishers. They have two decisions between them in their combined 20 wins with both of them falling to Petrino.
Pedro is a submission artist with knockout power whereas Petrino is a knockout artist who has learnt how to grapple. It seems as if it will be a matter of time before Petrino loses his unbeaten record in this division.
However, his power has reigned supreme on the feet and his deceptive wrestling and cardio has been enough to remain dangerous deep into the fight. So, it is very hard to back against him especially considering how inconsistent Pedro is.
We are backing the Brazilian to find the chin, but the huge underdog is worth a small punt.
Prediction: Petrino via KO/TKO
Value Bet: Pedro via KO/TKO or Submission
