Middleweight Looks To Get Things Back On Track Against Josh Fremd At UFC Denver
As far as Andre Petroski can recall, there isn’t really a rivalry to speak of between Philadelphia, where he calls home, and Pittsburgh, the hometown of his opponent this weekend, Josh Fremd.
“I don’t think so,” he said on Tuesday afternoon when asked if there was any kind of interstate tension between the Pennsylvania sports cities. “I can’t remember the last time Pittsburgh was as good as Philadelphia in a sport; maybe since the Steelers, since Roethlisberger.
“I wouldn’t say there was a rivalry there, but I guess we could go ‘King of Pennsylvania,’” he added with a smile, suddenly latching onto the newly fabricated stakes of this weekend’s preliminary card fixture.
