The read

Kondratavičius's power is live every time this fight is standing, and Petroski has been hurt by strikes more often than not in his losses.

If Petroski can find a takedown and grind from top position, his wrestling pedigree gives him a path late; if this stays on the feet, the Lithuanian's finishing instincts make him the more dangerous man.

This newly rebooked middleweight bout pairs a wrestling-heavy veteran on a three-fight skid against a finishing-minded Lithuanian prospect still unbeaten inside the Octagon.

Petroski's takedowns and top control have kept him competitive, but he has been stopped by strikes in five of his six career losses.

Kondratavičius has finished eight of his nine career wins, six by knockout, and is looking to make it two straight inside the cage.
