Rodolfo Vieira Rebooked to Face Armen Petrosyan for February Card in Las Vegas

A middleweight meeting between Rodolfo Vieira and Armen Petrosyan has been rebooked for Feb. 10’s UFC Fight Night event. The news was first reported by MMA Fighting.

The middleweights were initially set to compete at UFC Fight Night 231 on Nov. 4. However, the bout failed to materialize at the last minute due to Petrosyan reportedly falling ill and subsequently withdrawing from the match.

Vieira (9-2), a jiu-jitsu phenom, has won two of his last three outings inside the Octagon. In his most recent outing in April, the Brazilian secured an impressive Round 2 arm-triangle submission against Cody Brundage.

Petrosyan (9-2), on the other hand, has managed to bounce back from his sophomore Ultimate Fighting Championship loss to Caio Borralho in July 2022 and is currently on a two-fight winning streak that saw him secure back-to-back unanimous decision wins against A.J. Dobson and Christian Leroy Duncan.

The Fight Night event on Feb. 10, set to go down at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, will be headlined by another middleweight matchup between Jack Hermansson (23-8) and Dana White’s Contender Series alum Joseph Pyfer (12-2).

Additionally, in the third middleweight bout of the evening, Gregory Rodrigues (14-5) will face divisional veteran Brad Tavares (20-8) in a three-round affair.
