Tresean Gore

Picked against, on the basis that the analyst still is not sold on him -- while conceding he has been wrong about this fighter repeatedly.

A fighter the analyst reduces to a single path. The striking has power behind it and he keeps a disciplined high guard, but he tends to wait out his opponent's exchange before answering, which turns fights into an exchange of turns and costs him against anyone who can strike back with authority. The grappling is serviceable, with adequate takedowns, and one genuinely excellent tool: a tight standing guillotine that accounts for nearly every win on his record. The read is blunt -- without that specific submission he expects him to lose this fight, and to keep losing fights, because opponents now know what is coming.

better everywhere but one risk

As of 2026-03-29, a decent striker with some power and a high guard, but a passive counter-striking style: he waits for an opponent to finish their own combination before responding and does not intercept or counter in exchanges. His grappling is decent, built around a tight standing guillotine that the analyst says is essentially his only path to winning fights.

says Vieira wins 'by all intents and purposes' given his output and grappling edge, closing flatly with 'it's got to be Vieira'.

Fights behind modest power on the feet and carries a notably high guard, but his central flaw is passivity -- he tends to sit back and let an opponent punch himself out before countering, which starves his own output. His grappling grades as decent too, with reliable takedowns, and his real avenue to a win is described as the standing guillotine; it's genuinely unclear whether he can win without landing it. His career path has been slowed by repeated injuries, limiting how much tape exists on him.

Explicit naming despite the mistagged 'a' carry-through: he states that, skill for skill, Tulio is the fighter who wins most often, and confirms he is 'taking Tulio.' Real mechanism given (power/volume/dynamic striking, solid grappling with sweeps vs Gore's passive high-guard style that bleeds rounds on volume). Capped from clear because he discloses having long been 'notoriously low' on Gore right before picking against him, so the pick follows a disclosed bias.

A decent striker with power who fights off a passive, high-guard waiting style -- he lets opponents finish combinations before countering rather than intercepting, which he says costs him rounds on volume. A decent grappler with a wrestling background and a dangerous, bone-crushing guillotine-type squeeze, though the analyst doubts he will use the wrestling here.

Names Trocoli directly as his pick, saying he 'gotta go with him' because Trocoli controls range on the feet and is the better grappler if it hits the mat; no hedge on the win itself.

A power puncher with a high guard who can hurt opponents with single shots but throws too little volume and often waits for opponents to finish before countering. His grappling includes decent takedowns and an effective, tight choke squeeze on top. Still a thin pro resume (six fights) that the analyst attributes to injuries interrupting his career, which is part of why he can't back him against a longer, more complete opponent.

Says plainly 'I'm taking Josh [Fremd] here... he's probably going to win' and estimates roughly nine-in-ten; repeated 'probably' qualifiers on the win itself keep this from the top grade, but there is no real doubt expressed about the outcome.

A big, strong fighter whose only real asset, in the analyst's assessment, is power -- he has essentially nothing else going for him, throws with no volume, and visibly telegraphs when he is about to punch. His pre-UFC wins came against a combined losing record; the analyst explicitly rejects reported outside hype that called him a deserving tournament champion, saying his own read is that the competition was weak and does not support that praise.
