Why Tresean Gore Will Win
- Last Fight: (W) Antonio Trocoli – SUB R1
- Last 5: 3-2
- Finishes: 4 (1 KO/TKO/3 SUB)
Tresean Gore has a strong chance to defeat Marco Tulio at UFC 314 thanks to his elite submission skills and ability to capitalize on his opponent’s weaknesses. Gore has shown a knack for finishing fights with guillotine chokes, securing back-to-back submission victories against Josh Fremd and Antonio Trocoli.
His explosive grappling style and ability to lock in submissions quickly make him a dangerous threat, especially against opponents who rely heavily on striking. Gore’s durability and physical strength allow him to weather early storms and turn the tide in grappling exchanges, which could be pivotal against Tulio’s knockout-heavy approach.
While Marco Tulio boasts impressive power and a nine-fight win streak, his reliance on striking leaves openings for Gore’s grappling game. Tulio has yet to face a submission specialist of Gore’s caliber in the UFC, which could prove problematic if the fight hits the mat.
Gore’s ability to close the distance, secure takedowns, and control opponents in clinch situations gives him a clear path to victory. If he can avoid Tulio’s heavy hands early and drag the fight into grappling exchanges, Gore is likely to find an opening for another submission finish, solidifying his position as a rising middleweight contender.
Why Marco Tulio Will Win
- Last Fight: (W) Ihor Potieria – KO/TKO R1
- Last 5: 5-0
- Finishes: 10 (9 KO/TKO/1 SUB)
Marco Tulio has all the tools to defeat Tresean Gore at UFC 314 thanks to his devastating striking power and relentless offensive style. Tulio boasts nine knockouts in his 13 professional wins with seven coming in the first round.
His ability to pressure opponents from the opening bell, combined with precise striking and a diverse arsenal that includes spinning kicks, makes him a dangerous force in the middleweight division. Tulio’s recent performances, including a first-round TKO of Ihor Potieria in his UFC debut, highlight his ability to finish fights quickly and decisively.
While Gore has shown promise with his submission game, Tulio’s takedown defense and forward-moving aggression could neutralize Gore’s grappling attempts. Gore’s history of durability issues—most notably his knockout loss to Cody Brundage—suggests that he may struggle against Tulio’s heavy hands and unrelenting pace.
If Tulio can keep the fight standing and avoid being dragged into Gore’s preferred grappling exchanges, he is likely to overwhelm Gore with strikes and secure another highlight-reel finish.
With momentum on his side and a proven track record of finishing fights early, Marco Tulio is well-positioned to extend his winning streak and solidify his status as a rising contender in the UFC middleweight division.
