Marco Tulio to win (1X2)
Tulio’s got all the tools to get it done against Gore. He brings higher volume, cleaner striking, and solid enough takedown defense to keep the fight where he wants it. On the other hand, Gore has shown a tendency to fade under pressure—most notably in the Bryan Battle fight. His striking numbers are a major concern too, with a significant negative ratio (3.00 landed vs. 5.88 absorbed per minute), which is a huge red flag at this level. Even if Gore leans on his wrestling, it’s unlikely to be enough to trouble a more complete and composed fighter like Tulio.
