Vitor Petrino
Career overview
Vitor Petrino holds a professional record of 14-2-0 and fights from an orthodox stance at 6'2" and 225 pounds. The 26-year-old Brazilian operates as a balanced mixed martial artist, averaging 3.24 strikes landed per minute with 48% striking accuracy while maintaining solid defensive fundamentals at 51% strike defense.
His grappling arsenal is notable, with 2.60 takedown attempts per 15 minutes (46% accuracy) and reliable takedown defense of 79%, complemented by 0.7 submission attempts per 15 minutes that proved effective in his recent submission victory over Austen Lane in July 2025. Petrino has demonstrated finishing ability across multiple methods, most recently stopping Thomas Petersen via knockout in round three (October 2025) and decisioning Steven Asplund (March 2026), though he suffered a significant setback against Anthony Smith, who submitted him in the first round in May 2024.
His recent seven-win streak from eight fights showcases resilience and improvement, though his submission loss to Smith highlighted vulnerabilities in positional defense. Petrino's well-rounded skill set and recent form position him as a developing contender in the light heavyweight division.
