Vitor Petrino is a 28-year-old Brazilian who rebuilt himself at heavyweight after a rough stretch at 205 pounds, and the move has paid off with three straight wins. He is a rare athlete for the division, pairing eight career knockouts with real wrestling and a 79 percent takedown defense rate. Since moving up in July 2025 he has choked out Austen Lane, flattened Thomas Petersen, and outworked Steven Asplund. Spivac is a massive step up in competition and the fight that tells us whether Petrino is a legitimate contender.
