Vitor Petrino Shrugs Off UFC Ranking Drop Ahead of Steven Asplund Fight

Petrino brushed off losing his heavyweight ranking days before facing Asplund at UFC Vegas 114, insisting, “Sooner or later I’ll be back again.” The Brazilian says ditching the 205-pound cut has transformed fight week, from sleep to diet. Now 2-0 at heavyweight, Petrino is chasing a bonus and predicted, “I’m winning by knockout or submission, before the third round.”
