Daily News | Undefeated UFC middleweight Andre Petroski takes his talents to the Cage Fury Fighting Championships on Saturday
When it comes to fight factories, the team of Daniel Gracie and Jon Marquez continue to produce some of the best professional and amateur talent repping Philadelphia.
It’s not a knock on other gyms across the city, it’s just some of the best mixed martial artists representing the city hail from this hybrid Philly gym. The team currently lays claim to four undefeated fighters in the UFC. “We can put these guys in a bare-knuckle boxing match and they’d all be ready to fight,” said Gracie, owner-operator and lead trainer at Kensington’s Daniel Gracie MMA. “We prepare all of our fighters for anything.”
There’s something to be said for that last part as Gracie-Marquez MMA will feature over 11 fighters over two nights of Cage Fury Fighting Championship MMA and grappling matches atAndre Petroski is one of those fighters who will compete in a Fury grappling exhibition Saturday night against fellow middleweight Erik Haydak. Petroski, who has a, knows CFFC well, competing on CFFC cards since he was an amateur.
Ahead of his match, Petroski explained the appeal of CFFC bouts, life as an undefeated UFC middleweight, who he wants to fight next in the UFC, and being a part of Philly fighters on the rise, and staying put in Philly camps.“It’s a good opportunity for fighters in between camps. We might only fight, if you’re lucky, three or four times a year. So there’s some downtime in between those fights. These grappling matches are perfect because it’s not as brutal on your body.
