Rodolfo Vieira vs Tresean Gore Preview
Rodolfo Vieira is a decorated Brazilian jiu‑jitsu black belt. He has nine submission wins out of his 10 career victories. But he enters the octagon off of a loss to Andre Petroski in his last fight in February. Vieira uses raw strength to force opponents to the canvas and impose his will with submissions. His striking is functional but not refined and he has shown cardio issues when fights drag on. That has caused him to lose twice by decision since joining UFC.
Tresean Gore is a younger fighter with boxing and Muay Thai roots. He’s developing his ground gameand has two UFC wins by guillotine choke. But he is 2-3 since joining UFC and he has yet to show consistency in the promotion. The key to this fight for him will be avoiding the submission skills of Vieira and keeping this fight upright for as long as possible.

Rodolfo Vieira vs Tresean Gore Prediction
There is only one main question that will decide the outcome of this fight. That question is whether or not Vieira can get this fight to the ground and impose his will on the mat. If he can, I don’t think that Gore stands much of a chance of avoiding a submission. But if Gore can figure out a way to keep himself from being taken down and submitted, I think he has a realistic chance to win this fight as an underdog.
My prediction for this fight is for Vieira to get his opportunity on the ground and to secure a victory via submission. Gore is always capable of stealing a highlight reel stoppage win. But I just don’t see him preventing Vieira from doing what he does best in this fight. I’ll take Vieira by submission and for this fight to go under 2.5 rounds.
