Rodolfo Vieira secured a victory through Arm Triangle Choke against Armen Petrosyan, during the main card of UFC Fight Night 236…
And, in one way or another, he saw it coming before the match.
Reflecting on his win, Vieira stated:
I’m feeling great with this victory, with one more finish.
I knew that he was a high-level striker, but he had a lot of (holes) in his ground game.
I knew if I put him down, I would finish him.
Despite facing unexpected calf kicks from Petrosyan, Vieira remained focused on his strategy:
I wasn’t expecting the calf kicks. He hurt me.
I think he hit me like three or four times.
At the time, when I was fighting, I didn’t feel anything, but now I’m hurting.But it doesn’t matter.
After the kicks, I took him down, and I finished him, and that’s what matters to me.
