Antonio Trocoli is poised to defeat Tresean Gore at UFC Vegas 100 this weekend, leveraging his extensive experience and grappling skills. With a record of 12-4, Trocoli has faced a variety of opponents, showcasing his ability to adapt and thrive under pressure. His previous bouts have demonstrated a solid ground game, with five of his victories coming by submission. This proficiency in grappling will be crucial against Gore, who has been out of the octagon for over two years due to injuries, potentially leaving him less prepared for the intensity of a grueling fight.
Moreover, Trocoli's reach advantage standing at 6'5″ with an 82-inch reach compared to Gore's 6'0″ and 75-inch reach will allow him to control the distance effectively.

Final Tresean Gore-Antonio Trocoli Prediction & Pick
Antonio Trocoli has a strong chance of upsetting Tresean Gore at UFC Vegas 100 this weekend. While Gore is the betting favorite, Trocoli's significant height and reach advantages could prove troublesome5. At 6'5″, Trocoli towers over the 6'0″ Gore and will likely look to utilize his length to keep Gore at bay. Trocoli's grappling skills shouldn't be overlooked either. With 5 of his 12 wins coming by submission, he poses a serious threat if the fight hits the mat. Gore has shown vulnerability to submissions in the past, which Trocoli could exploit. Additionally, Gore is coming off a two-year layoff due to injuries, which may impact his performance. Ring rust could be a factor, potentially slowing Gore's reactions and cardio. While Gore is talented, Trocoli's physical advantages and submission prowess give him a path to victory. Look for Trocoli to use his reach early before potentially securing a submission win in the later rounds.
