Logan Petro


Bout four: Joshua Gillespie Vs Logan Petro. The fighters started off with an even striking exchange then quickly hit the canvas. Once on the ground Petro secured a tight triangle that Gillespie defended for the rest of the round. Round two had both fighters making a good showing, but the edge in that round went to Gillespie after Petro received a point deduction for an illegal upkick. Round three had more good striking and ground work from both fighters. The round was punctuated by a spinning backfist from Petro that landed well, and he followed it nicely with a solid front kick to end the round. When the score cards were tallied and the one point deduction was factored in the bout was seen as a tie. In Colorado elimination (amateur) bouts cannot end in a tie so the judges had to award the fight to whomever they saw as the aggressor for the majority of the fight; and it was Petro that earned the win.

We are all very proud of Logan for winning his first UFC fight.
