Ep 223: Andre Petroski

Buckle up, folks—this one’s a banger. On this episode of The Popko Project Podcast, we sit down with UFC middleweight Andre Petroski, a straight-up savage inside the octagon and a calculated competitor who’s all about putting in the work.
Fresh off his third consecutive win, Andre talks about the fight game, the brutal weight cuts, and the strategy behind every move inside the cage. We dive into his wrestling roots, his love for competing over killing, and what it takes to be a real threat in the UFC. Plus, we get into short-notice fights, training at the highest level, and what it’s like to have Joe Rogan in your ear post-fight.
Outside the octagon, Andre’s got a whole different side—fatherhood, jet skis, volunteering at a horse farm, and a little country music for balance. But make no mistake, his sights are locked in on proving he’s the best grappler in the division, and he’s got his eyes on Bo Nickal to prove it.
This episode is a must-listen for UFC fans, fight enthusiasts, and anyone chasing greatness.
🎧 Listen now and get ready to step inside the mind of a true competitor.
