Russian MMA fighter Armen Petrosyan entered the United States on an O-1 visa with help from Seward Sports Visas, but he didn’t need help earning a contract with the UFC on Dana White’s Contender Series in October, 2021. 

The internationally recognized champion took on the previously undefeated Kaloyan Kolev, and ended the match with a first round knockout via a left headkick that quickly secured his victory. 

UFC president Dana White was seen at the event, clearly impressed by Petrosyan’s performance. He spoke at the post-fight conference that evening, stating that he was eager to get Petrosyan back in the ring.
