Dustin Jacoby (19-9-1 MMA, 7-6-1 UFC) is looking to snap a two-fight skid while handing Vitor Petrino (11-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC) his second loss in a row. The two light heavyweights are set to clash at UFC Tampa, set for Dec. 14 at the Amalie Arena.
Jacoby called the fight with Petrino a “great match-up.”
“I think Vitor Petrino is a young, hungry, up-and-coming guy,” Jacoby told MMASucka. “I think he’s very green. He’s only had 12 professional fights. He shows in his fights that he’s still a little bit green. He’s tough, no doubt about it.
