Tresean Gore delivered the cleanest performance of his octagon tenure Saturday when he finished Antonio Trocoli at UFC Fight Night 247.
Gore (5-2 MMA, 2-2 UFC) needed just 83 seconds to latch on a standing guillotine choke that forced Trocoli (12-5 MMA, 0-2 UFC) to frantically tap out early in the opening round of the middleweight bout at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.

Gore, 30, was ecstatic after bringing his octagon record to .500 and becoming the first to submit Trocoli in MMA competition. He said he hopes the perception of him is changing after a rough start in the organization.
“I get black belts with that guillotine,” Gore said in his post-fight interview with Michael Bisping. “You’re all going to have to learn to respect me. One step at a time you’re going to see that I’m not just a prospect, I’m a contender.”
