“The strategy was to put on a show,” Petrino said afterwards. “I wanted to knock him out as soon as possible. I’ve gotten a submission, I’ve gotten a bonus so I told my coach I wanted a knockout.”
A highly touted prospect with raw potential, Petrino didn’t swing for the fences early but instead showed off his grappling skills after the planted Bukauskas on the canvas with a massive takedown in the opening round. Petrino remained in control, although he showed good patience while setting up his offense both on the feet and on the ground.
At the start of the second round, Petrino settled into his striking arsenal as he invited Bukauskas to stand and trade with him, which was ultimately what ended the fight. The left hook from Petrino landed flush and it knocked Bukauskas stiff as he fell to the ground for the knockout.
Petrino now sports a perfect 10-0 record including three straight wins in the UFC and given enough time, he looks like a future contender in the middleweight division.
