Petroski on the fight’s key moment
Andre Petroski vs. Hu Yaozong
“I had a mounted guillotine in the first minute, I think it was. I had that anaconda (choke) at one point. I had the back – I couldn’t finish the rear-naked (choke). It’s just such a different look out there, rolling wise, than it is in practice.”
DOMINANT on short notice! 👏@PetroskiAndre with nonstop pressure at #UFC267.

Petroski on not getting a finish
Andre Petroski vs. Hu Yaozong
“I missed a couple big opportunities to finish early. I’ve got to give myself credit – I really didn’t have much of a training camp for this. But I couldn’t say no to the opportunity. I came out and made the most of it, and I’m proud of myself for that.”
Petroski is THROWING HEAT 🔥

Petroski on what he wants next
“I’m ready. I love fighting. This is how I pay my bills. I think this is the greatest job in the world. I don’t know any other job where I can fly to Abu Dhabi on five days’ notice. It’s simple math: You fight three times a year, you make three times ‘X.’ You fight five times, you make five times ‘X.’ I don’t really save my money well. I want to fight as often as possible. If someone falls off, they know who to call.”
Up in each other’s grill 😬
Yaozong and Petroski are here to scrap.
