NCAA wrestling standout Andre Petroski has had no issues getting guys down to the canvas, and he’s shown off his superior skillset with strength, explosiveness, setups, and ferocious finishing ability. He also has excellent grappling. Petroski is good at taking the back and transitioning to better and more dominant positions. He moves smoothly on top, and so far has cruised with top control. The problem is he’s is still supper green and defensively has huge gaps on the feet. Petroski is easily hit and his durability is questionable. If you can survive the early onslaught by Petroski you may be able to take over.
