Halloween night at UFC Vegas 123 is about to get spooky because Azamat Bekoev and Andre Petroski are reportedly targeted for October 31 and this middleweight matchup is exactly the kind of fight that keeps you glued to your couch. Two guys who have both been through the fire lately, both hungry, both dangerous. This one has chaos written all over it. Here's the thing about Bekoev right now. The Russian out of American Top Team has gone 2 and 2 in his last four, picking up back to back KO wins over Zachary Reese and Ryan Loder before running into back to back losses against Yousri Belgaroui and Tresean Gore.
- Both fighters on losing streaks and desperately need a win
- Bekoev's knockout power vs Petroski's Renzo Gracie grappling
- Can Petroski's takedowns neutralize Bekoev's dangerous hands
If Bekoev lands early and gets Petroski hurt on the feet, or if Petroski drags this to the ground in rounds two and three, that's when things get real dangerous for whoever is on the wrong end.
That guillotine choke finish from Gore in round three had to sting. Petroski on the other hand has dropped three straight, losing to Shahbazyan on the cards, then getting stopped by Cam Rowston and Cody Brundage. Both guys are desperate for a W right now. The styles here are genuinely interesting. Bekoev is a straight up brawler who loves to put guys away with his hands, and that KO power is real.
Petroski trains out of Renzo Gracie Philly so the grappling is always there, and he showed solid control time and takedown work against Budka back in 2024. But his recent fights show he can get caught when the pressure comes. Both guys are on skids and need this win badly. Whoever bounces back first could restart their career in a big way.
