Fight Preview
Rodolfo Vieira’s nickname is The Black Belt Hunter, which comes from the fact that he got a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu under legendary Julio Cesar Pereira, who holds a 7th-degree coral belt in BJJ. Before starting his MMA career, Vieira competed in submission grappling for years, winning the world gold medal on six occasions.
The Miami-based Brazilian fighter switched to mixed martial arts in 2017 and is 9-2 since. Unsurprisingly, eight of his nine wins happened by submission. What is surprising is that one of his two losses happened by this method. It happened in 2021 when Anthony Hernandez beat him with a guillotine choke.
Getting submitted isn’t something that should worry him much in the fight with Armen Petrosyan. The reason is that the Russian-Armenian fighter isn’t much of a grappler. Instead, his strongest weapon is striking.

Rodolfo Vieira vs. Armen Petrosyan Prediction
Which martial art is superior – BJJ or kickboxing? We may learn the answer at UFC Fight Night 236 when grappling expert Rodolfo Vieira takes on striking maestro Armen Petrosyan.
Our pick for this fight is Vieira. We’re certain he can take Petrosyan down and finish him by submission. Sure, there’s a danger that he might get KO-ed, but the fact is that he’s already fought many great strikers in the past – Chris Curtis, Dustin Stoltzfus, and others.
