Ultimate Fighting Championship brass puts out BOLOs for heavyweights like Thomas Petersen.
The 6-foot-1, 260-pound former Legacy Fighting Alliance titleholder will make his promotional debut opposite Jamal Pogues as part of the undercard on Feb. 3 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Petersen, who operates out of the Spartan MMA camp in his native Michigan, boasts an 8-1 record with eight finishes, seven of them by knockout or technical knockout. “The Train” has never gone the distance as a pro.
Petersen nailed down a UFC roster spot on Week 4 of Dana White’s Contender Series, where he put away “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 30 alum Chandler Cole with a keylock in the second round of their heavyweight tilt on Aug.
