Promotion officials revealed that Phil Hawes vs. Andre Petroski is the latest addition to the card, which streams live on UFC Fight Pass on Thursday, Dec. 30 from 2300 Arena in Philadelphia.

Still, Petroski was invited to compete on the live finale, where he scored a third-round TKO win over Micheal Gillmore. A Daniel Gracie product, Petroski followed that up with a third-round submission win over Hu Yaozong at October’s UFC 267.
