Armen Petrosyan Earns Victory In UFC Debut
3 years agoIt may not have been the way Armen Petrosyan wanted to win his first UFC appearance, but he was able to come away with a lopsided split-decision win (29-28, 28-29, 30-27) over Gregory Rodrigues on Saturday in the main-card opener. Statistically, it was not really close, with Petrosyan landing 127 significant strikes (128 total strikes) compared to Rodrigues' 61 significant strikes. Petrosyan was able to get the big strikes when needed and stayed more active to help him earn the decision win. As of right now, nothing really jumps off the page that indicates he should be a must-start every week.
