Vitor Petrino meets Dustin Jacoby, Manel Kape meets Bruno Silva

Two additional fights have been officially announced for UFC Fight Night on December 14th at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida. Vitor Petrino meets Dustin Jacoby at light heavyweight and Manel Kape meets Bruno Silva at flyweight. The event rounds out MMA action in the Octagon for 2024.

Petrino (11-1) is fighting for the third time this year and is hoping to get back to winning ways. The 27-year-old Brazilian suffered his first career loss by submission in the opening round against Anthony Smith in May.

Dustin Jacoby (19-9-1) was knocked out in the first round by Dominick Reyes in June. Last December, the 36-year-old from Fort Morgan, Colorado dropped a unanimous decision to Alonzo Menifield.

Angola's 30-year-old Manel Kape (19-7) lost his last game in July against UD to Muhammad Mokaev. The loss ended his four-fight winning streak.

Bruno Gustavo da Silva (14-5-2, 1 NC) is looking for his fifth straight win. The 34-year-old Brazilian beat Cody Durden in the second round last time out in July.

The promotion confirmed both matchups via post on X on Tuesday.
