A chin rating of 10 against a 27-year-old knockout artist, two weeks after both men's original opponents vanished.
This fight exists because two others died. Marcel Dorff reported on 24 October that Azamat Bekoev had withdrawn from his 31 October bout with Andre Petroski citing an anaphylactic reaction, and that Wes Schultz was off the 7 November card against Mantas Kondratavicius. Rather than send both men home, the UFC put the two leftovers together on the Las Vegas main card. Petroski gets eight extra days …
Kondratavicius (9-1) is Lithuanian, 27, and has exactly one recorded UFC appearance: a three-round decision over Antonio Trocoli at UFC London in March 2026, in a fight he was a heavy favourite to finish early. His 25.0 quality-of-victory reflects that thin sample rather than a judgement on him. Nine of his ten career fights ended inside the distance, but none of that is in the database yet.
Petroski (13-6) has lost three of his last five and been knocked out in two of them. A TUF 29 alumnus and Daniel Gracie black belt, his best UFC nights came against Rodolfo Vieira, Gerald Meerschaert and Nick Maximov, which is why his 34.2 quality-of-victory is the better of the two here. He is 35 and this is his second booking inside eight days after Bekoev's withdrawal.
Petroski's 10.0 chin rating against a man whose reputation is built on knockout power
Kondratavicius has one recorded UFC fight — every rating attached to him rests on it
Petroski's 3.50 grappling against takedown defence nobody has tested
Petroski took this on eight days' notice after Bekoev withdrew from 31 October
The eight-year age gap, and a 4.47 pressure rating pushing Petroski into range
Kondratavicius was a -750 favourite to finish Trocoli and won a decision instead — the finishing instinct the hype promises has not shown up in the UFC yet
If Petroski lands the first takedown, his submission credentials are far beyond anything Kondratavicius has had to survive
A short-notice opponent switch cuts both ways: neither man prepared for the other
