Middleweight prospect Brunno "The Hulk" Ferreira was one of the standout performers during UFC 313's preliminary card, overcoming some painful adversity to submit Armen Petrosyan in style.
Ferreira and Petrosyan were among those tasked with setting the stage for some notable names at tonight's pay-per-view event in Las Vegas, which will culminate in a light heavyweight championship clash between Alex Pereira and Magomed Ankalaev.
The Brazilian certainly did his best to build momentum heading toward the main card, but his victory didn't come easy.
That was due to a difficult first round at UFC 313 that saw "The Hulk" eat back-to-back low blows within seconds. The consecutive fouls resulted in Mark Smith taking a point from Petrosyan.
Ultimately, that scorecard blemish wasn't allowed to play a part in proceedings, as Ferreira closed the show in round two with a brutal-looking armbar that drew a quick tap from Petrosyan.
The result at UFC 313 moved Ferreira to 12-2 as a professional and marked a rebound from his defeat to Abus Magomedov last October. The Brazilian is now 4-2 across his six outings in the Octagon.
Petrosyan, meanwhile, remains winless across his past three. The Armenian has been submitted by both Rodolfo Vieira and Ferreira, results that sandwich a vicious double spinning backfist knockout to Shara Magomedov in 2024.
