“I have a long history of experience,” Petroski said. “I won my first wrestling tournament when I was four years old, so I bring to this team and these coaches a lot of knowledge and I bring a lot to this team, but yet I’m still listening to my coaches every day. Every day when John (Marquez) is yelling one up, I throw it. I listen to my coaches.”
The Philadelphia product is entering this bout with a 100% finish rate and plans to keep that rate perfect against Turman. The reason he got into mixed martial arts was to finish fights and not leave it in the hands of the judges. He’s out to make a statement and being an exciting fighter that people keep their eye on.
“I want the big fights. I want to continue to show that I am the best grappler, whether it’s Bo Nickal, (Gerald) Meerschaert or anyone. I want to fight the best guys. I want to fight the best grapplers and I want to show that, look, I’m the real deal. I really am the best here.”
