Vitor Petrino is living his best life after getting rid of weight cuts, and expects it to reflect in a better performance when he enters the octagon Saturday to face off with heavyweight Austen Lane in the main card portion of UFC Nashville.

The 27-year-old had a great start in the UFC, knocking out Rodolfo Bellato at Dana White’s Contender Series and then going 4-0 in the promotion with a pair of finishes and bonuses.
