Andre Petroski is gunning for a Bo Nickal showdown after UFC 292

Andre Petroski started his UFC career with a five-fight winning streak and has looked phenomenal in his recent outings against Wellington Turman and Gerald Meerschaert. While he had to face some adversity towards the end of the second round in his UFC 292 fight against Gerald Meerschaert, he managed to survive and gain some experience in dealing with adversity in an actual fight.

Following this win, Petroski feels he is ready to step up in competition. While speaking to the MMA media during UFC 292 post-fight presser, Andre Petroski called out highly touted prospect and wrestling powerhouse Bo Nickal for a fight. He said:

“Bo can only run for so long, you know. There’s other guys that I want in the meantime. I want to get in the cage as often as possible. I don’t do well with long layoffs.”

You can watch Andre Pertroski make the statement from the 1:35 mark of the video below:

Petroski disagrees with Nickal’s claim of being the best midweight division wrestler and wants to prove his credentials against him. However, he is unwilling to wait for a specific opponent and is keen on returning to the cage as soon as possible. He is looking to fight again in November or December 2023.
