Andre Petroski will fight Mantas Kondratavičius at UFC Vegas 124 on November 7. The bout comes after Bekoev withdrew from his matchup with Petroski and Wes Schultz was removed from his fight with Kondratavičius.
Andre Petroski has a new opponent for UFC Vegas 124. He will meet Mantas Kondratavičius on November 7, after a pair of changes to the card reshaped both men's schedules.
The pairing came together because of two separate disruptions. Bekoev withdrew from his planned fight with Petroski, while Wes Schultz was removed from his scheduled bout with Kondratavičius. With both fighters left without opponents, the matchmakers put them together.
Petroski, 35, arrives at 13-6-0 and is fighting out of Renzo Gracie Philly. The American is a switch-stance fighter who stands six feet tall with a 73-inch reach. His most recent recorded fight was a second-round TKO loss to Cody Brundage on May 16, 2026. That was his third straight defeat in our records: a first-round stoppage against Cam Rowston in September 2025 and a unanimous decision loss to Edmen Shahbazyan in June 2025 came before it.
The numbers show a grappling-leaning fighter. Petroski lands 2.75 significant strikes per minute at 49 percent accuracy, and averages 3.13 takedowns and 1.2 submission attempts per 15 minutes.
Why it matters
- Petroski is looking to end a three-fight losing run, two of which ended by knockout.
- The late replacement means Kondratavičius steps into a fight that was originally built around another opponent.
- Petroski's takedown rate of 3.13 per 15 minutes gives the bout a clear grappling storyline.
Schultz, the man originally scheduled to face Kondratavičius, has been pulled from the card. The 30-year-old American is 9-4-0, and his most recent recorded fight was a first-round KO loss to Jackson McVey on August 22, 2026. Before that, he submitted Ben Johnston in the third round on May 2, 2026.
The matchup is part of the November 7 UFC Vegas 124 card. Petroski, who has competed regularly in recent years, now gets a quick turnaround back into the cage and a chance to change his recent trajectory.
