Angelo is extremely confident in Azamat Bekoev, calling him a bargain at -550 and stating he should be -550,000. He notes Bekoev is well-rounded with powerful strikes and solid takedown defense, while Tresean Gore is inconsistent and has not proven himself at this level. Angelo believes Bekoev dominates everywhere and that Gore has no path to victory.
Big Brady picks Azamat Bekoev by first-round knockout. He criticizes Tresean Gore's striking defense and notes he was knocked out by Cody Brundage and out-struck by Rodolfo Vieira. He expects Bekoev to knock out Gore rather than wrestle, as Gore has good takedown defense.
Cody picks Bekoev but warns against the -650 line, noting Bekoev's cardio issues and Gore's potential to survive early rounds. He expects Bekoev to win if he gets an early KO, but considers live betting Gore.
Connor picks Bekoev confidently, emphasizing that Gore has no confidence or comfort, and panics under pressure. He notes that Bekoev's style of rushing into a tie-up and making the fight miserable will be effective, and that Bekoev is not at a size disadvantage. Gore's record and tendency to lose to anyone who pushes him make this an easy pick.
The host discusses the wide odds, noting Bekoev is a heavy favorite but unplayable due to poor value, while Gore is a tempting underdog but his recent poor performance against Vieira makes him too risky. He concludes that pre-fight betting is not viable, but he will watch for live betting opportunities.
James picks Azamat Bekoev, expecting him to rebound after a loss. He notes Bekoev's wrestling and training with Russian freestyle team, while Gore has been undisciplined and inconsistent. He predicts a decision win, but acknowledges Gore's power and weird fight outcomes make it uncertain. He believes Bekoev's takedowns and control will be the difference.
The host expects Bekoev to win, likely by decision, due to his grappling and improved striking. He notes Gore's takedown defense could make it close, but trusts Bekoev's ability to mix grappling and keep Gore defensive. He advises against betting the heavy chalk or sprinkling on Gore, preferring to pass.
Paul leans towards Bekoev but is wary of the price. He notes Bekoev's power and wrestling defense, but thinks Gore could make it competitive if he survives the first round.
The MMA Guru confidently picks Azamat Bekoev, criticizing Tresean Gore's 6-4 record and questioning why he's still in the UFC. He believes Bekoev's grappling and striking are superior and predicts a TKO finish as Gore lowers his hands after defending takedowns.
Zane picks Bekoev confidently, noting that Bekoev is a dangerous front-foot fighter with strong wrestling and ground-and-pound. He contrasts Gore, who panics and gets overwhelmed when dragged into deep water. Bekoev is more technical and well-rounded, and at 20-4 against a 5-4 fighter, the pick is clear.

View on SherdogBETTING PREVIEW | SCOUTING REPORT | ODDS: Vieira (-225); Gore (+185)
Round 1
Aiming to go on the run everyone expected out of him, Vieira (10-3, 5-3 UFC) will gladly accept a large percentage of his foe’s purse for missing weight by three and a half pounds. Unable to clock in at the middleweight cap, Gore (5-3, 2-3 UFC) may find himself at a serious disadvantage going against a lights-out grappler like “The Black Belt Hunter.” Necks may be threatened early and often in this preliminary contest, with referee Mark Smith telling them to get going as they touch ‘em up. They touch gloves despite the weight offense.
Vieira resides in the center of the Octagon jabbing the body, and Gore is warned for outstretched fingers. A jab from Vieira gets Gore’s attention, and he lands another and a low kick to follow. Gore lets loose his own hard calf kick, and he wings a right hand that bangs into the guard. Vieira shoots in for a single, pushing the heavier man to the wall but not putting him down. Rather than stick around in the clinch, Vieira pushes off and takes a right hand on the outside from his foe. Vieira shoots for another single, and Gore shuts it down in the open cage. Both men trade sharp jabs, and the Brazilian races forward to pursue a double. Like the other two, Gore stops it, so Vieira doubles down with a body lock as he tries to muscle “Mr. Vicious” to the floor. Gore posts off his hand to stay afloat, and he escapes yet again.
Gore turns his hips into an especially powerful low kick, and he doubles up with a kick to the same spot. Vieira sprints forward, clasping his hands beneath the backside of his opponent and securing the takedown he has sought for several minutes now. Gore hits the floor, and Vieira sits on top of him in a partial mount position with Gore sitting straight up against the wall. Gore pulls one leg out, and then wriggles the second out to pop back to his feet. Vieira clings to him from behind while standing, and Gore hand-fights to break the grip around him. Vieira jams a knee to the body, and Gore answers this and pushes away to get some space. Vieira probes him with jabs, and Gore swings harder with his responses. Vieira connects with a hefty leg kick, countering one flying his way with a right hand. The Brazilian leans to avoid a looping right hand as the bell sounds.

Round 2
As the second round begins, both men jab at one another. Vieira dodges a front kick, and Gore is warned again for his fingers pointed towards his opponent. Vieira goes to the body and head, ducking a fierce right hand for a takedown shot. Gore stonewalls him, and the jabs fly from both sides. Vieira swings hard with three punches, missing with all but the end of one, although he follows with a one-two and a single. Gore breaks off from the shot and wings a trio of punches that come up short, but they have Vieira on guard. They land punches at the same time, and Vieira chains a one-two behind his jabs. Vieira kicks low, and Gore does the same. Vieira surprises his foe with a powerful right hook, and his punches back Gore to the wall. Vieira times a punch to duck under for a single, keeping Gore on one leg but not grounding him.
Vieira lands an inside leg kick that disrupts an overhand right after they split apart, and he gets off a second before Gore can respond. Vieira bops Gore in the nose with several jabs, staying busy with his leg kick. A hard right hand from Vieira makes Gore have to blink it out, and Vieira dances away from the counters and is right in Gore’s face with three flying fists. Gore misses a head kick by a matter of inches, and Vieira aims a right hand to the ribs and takes a right hand from the other direction. Vieira snaps the head back with a jab, and his leg kick is starting to give Gore issues. Gore rakes Vieira in the eye, and Smith warns him to knock it off. Vieira plants a one-two on the jaw, and Gore pushes off with his thumb that swipes the eyeball. Smith calls time, and he issues a hard warning to the fouling fighter. They resume after a 30-second break, and Vieira gets right behind his jab again. The jab stops Gore from loading up on much, although Gore does loop a big right hand that hits Vieira in the back of his shoulder. The horn blares.

Round 3
As Gore opens up to start the last round, Vieira shoots in on his hips for a takedown. Gore shuts it down, and the two start driving home jabs. Gore gets a little more active with kicks from both legs, but Vieira is still chipping at him any time he can. Vieira winds up and knocks Gore back with a mighty left hand, and Gore is tough as nails as he is staring to show damage. The low kicks are making Gore’s knee buckle as they connect, and Vieira’s one-two continues to find its target. The Brazilian races forward after a single, lifting Gore’s leg up but ultimately only backing him to the wall. Gore breaks free and circles out to take a few jabs off the forward bow. Gore kicks the body, and Vieira catches it and thinks about trying something before letting it go to roast Gore’s ribs with a few heavy blows. Gore reaches his man with a left hook, but it is one-and-done as Vieira goes to his body with punches.
Gore’s right hand marks up Vieira’s left cheek, popping a mouse beneath it that starts trickling blood. Vieira pays it no mind, continuing to beat on the body. “The Black Belt Hunter” strings a number of punches together that sets up a takedown shot, but the heavier Gore is able to shut it down when he puts his back to the fence. Vieira abandons it and wipes his face, and he looks outside the cage to listen to instructions and paws out a jab that Gore does not like. Vieira plants a one-two on the cheek, and his leg kick make Gore hobble back. Gore tries to sit down on a right hand, but Vieira is in his face with a one-two that he is starting to put some mustard behind. Gore pitches a low kick, and Vieira pursues a double. While it does not get his man down, Vieira bullies Gore until the match concludes. Barring something strange, this should be Vieira’s first win that goes the distance.

Round 1
Carrying on with the prelims, two aggressive middleweights with finish rates above 75% will duel under the oversight of referee Marc Goddard. Gore (5-2, 2-2 UFC) has only fought once since late 2022, and he will have the honor of welcoming Norma Dumont’s partner Tulio (13-1, 1-0 UFC) to his sophomore UFC appearance. Fists are sure to fly, but before they do, they are tapped together sportingly. Tulio springs to the side to fire off a few jabs and low kicks, and he mixes in a front kick to keep Gore guessing early. Gore swings back, and Tulio takes a step back to wing a spinning back kick. Tulio puts out a one-two, and Gore defends the punches but not the kick that follows and bumps into his cup. Goddard acknowledges the foul, and Gore waves it off and wants to keep throwing leather. Tulio jumps at him with a flying knee, and Gore times him with a marvelous right hand nearly as destructive as Fedor Emelianenko against Andrei Arlovski. Tulio continues to chain big punches and kicks into spinning strikes, and Gore is in close range to prevent the spins from getting to him. The power from the Brazilian mark Gore’s nose up, and he loads up further on power strikes including a trio of vertical elbows from the Anderson Silva playbook. Tulio keeps a high pace, and Gore walks through a few punches to zing a left hook that stumbles “Matuto.” When Gore tries to continue the assault, Tulio blasts him with an elbow that rocks and cuts him at the same time. Gore shakes out the cobwebs and marches Tulio down, and he adjusts his leaking hose as Tulio turns up the pressure. Tulio rips the body with a kick, and his constant jab is further frustrating Gore. Tulio drives home a few low kicks, and he puts together a unique combination with a liver kick, a flying knee and a spinning back kick. The Brazilian hammers his opponent with spinning strikes and huge punches, but it is a short left hook that floors Gore. “Mr. Vicious” scrambles to his feet, steels himself and smashes Tulio in the face with a vicious right hand. Tulio appears to be showing signs of fatigue with less than a minute to go in the round, and he gathers a full head of steam and rails Gore with a spinning wheel kick. Gore somehow tanks it, thanks to the wall behind him, and this absolutely mad round comes to a close.

Round 2
Somehow, these two flamethrowers got out of the first round, and they are still in good spirits and touch gloves. They proceed to hammer one another on the lead leg, and Tulio follows one with a blistering body kick. Not to be outdone, Gore gives him the same kick back. Tulio prods out with a front kick, and he puts two low kicks behind it that draw a slight limp. Tulio splits the guard with a punch, plants a spinning back kick on the midsection and continues to work the head and body. Gore swings wildly, and Tulio slips it and puts a jab in his face. Tulio wraps a left around the guard, and right goes to the sternum. Tulio jams a front kick to the midsection, and the foot pounds squarely into the groin cup. Tulio apologizes as Gore groans, and Goddard calls time. Despite the impact of the kick, Gore only takes about 20 seconds before getting back to business. Tulio does not let him off the hook, continuing to chain punches, kick and spinning moves together much to Gore’s disappointment. Tulio splits the guard with an uppercut, and Gore’s chin is tough but he is taking serious damage. Tulio finally cracks the chin with a crisp head kick, and Gore hits his seat. Tulio jumps on top and unloads a salvo of elbows, and he pushes Gore flat to the ground to continue beating on him. Gore wills himself to stand up again, and he actually comes out swinging. The Brazilian rifles off a power jab, and Gore’s expression completely changes.
Tulio fires off a jumping switch kick, using it to close the distance, and he lands and plants a right hand about as firmly on the jaw as one can land. Gore’s legs give way beneath him, bloodied and broken, and he leans against the fence clinging to consciousness.
Goddard sprints towards the downed fighter to rescue him from his own toughness, but before he can reach the fallen man, Tulio gets off one single destructive punch to seal the deal. When Goddard gets between them, Tulio informs his corner that his hand broke in the first round. It held up long enough to put on a thriller of a performance, one easily worthy of “Fight of the Night” with the first round in the conversation of “Round of the Year” after all that carnage. Middleweight has a new name to watch out for now.
The Official Result
Marco Tulio def. Tresean Gore R2 3:16 via TKO (Punch)
Daniel Levi notes that Marco Tulio stopped Tresean Gore in the second round after getting rocked earlier. He highlights the striking differential of 127 to 17 significant strikes and praises Tulio's confidence and dominance.

Angelo is baffled that Tresean Gore is nearly a 2-to-1 favorite given he hasn't fought in two years and has only six professional fights. He sees Trócoli as bigger, more skilled, more experienced, and better trained. He also notes Trócoli's length and aggressive grappling as key advantages. He has placed a half-unit bet on Trócoli at +145.
Big Brady is not high on either fighter but gives Gore the edge due to takedown defense and striking advantage. He notes Gore's low volume and overrated power as concerns, but believes Gore's higher ceiling and ability to keep the fight standing will lead to a decision win. He expects the fight to be unexciting.
Cody reluctantly picks Gore, noting both fighters are inactive and unproven. He gives Gore the edge in athleticism and upside, but admits it's a narrative-based pick. Cody expects a messy fight and advises against betting it.
Connor picks Trócoli hesitantly, noting Gore has been out for two years with injuries and got outstruck by Cody Brundage. He thinks Trócoli will blitz early and if Gore can't handle it, Trócoli wins. Connor acknowledges Trócoli is bad but believes Gore's inactivity and lack of proven ability make Trócoli the pick.
Daniel Vreeland picks Tresean Gore despite concerns about his inactivity and mental toughness. He notes Gore's athletic gifts and finishing ability, while criticizing Antonio Trócoli's lack of development and athletic disadvantage. Vreeland worries Gore might pull a stunt but believes he has more potential and skills.
Gore is favored due to his speed, explosivity, and power. The pick expects him to land big shots on Trócoli and find a knockout within two rounds.
Paul is not confident in either fighter. He notes Trócoli's poor striking defense and Gore's inactivity. He prefers betting on a finish rather than picking a winner, suggesting the under 2.5 rounds.
The Guru picks Tresean Gore but is hesitant due to Gore's KO loss to Cody Brundage. He criticizes Antonio Trócoli as 'dog [__]' with no offensive output. He believes Gore can chew up Trócoli's legs and get a TKO, but worries about Gore being outgrappled.
Zane picks Trócoli, agreeing with Connor. He describes Trócoli as an Instagram model who will sprint at Gore and either wreck him or self-destruct. Zane notes Gore has only six pro fights in a decade and has been injured. He thinks Trócoli's early blitz could overwhelm Gore, but acknowledges Trócoli's limitations.

Big Brady picks Josh Fremd to win by first-round knockout. He notes that Fremd is a dangerous finisher with power and size, while Gore has looked hesitant and been knocked out by Cody Brundage. He acknowledges that Fremd is hittable and Gore has power, but trusts Fremd's aggression and finishing ability more.
Cody picks Josh Fremd, citing his wrestling base, size (6'4"), and solid regional wins. He notes Fremd's competitive performance against Anthony Hernandez on short notice and believes a full camp will benefit him. Cody criticizes Tresean Gore's inexperience, poor performance against Bryan Battle, and lack of volume. He also likes Fremd by submission at +900 as a sprinkle.
Daniel Levi is confident in Josh Fremd, citing his experience, size (6'4"), and paid dues on the regional scene. He views Gore as too green and immature, lacking seasoning despite athleticism. He bet Fremd at -170 for 2 units and plans to add more as the line improved. He expects Fremd to win via experience and possibly a finish.
Jacob picks Josh Fremd, citing his wrestling and ability to withstand Gore's striking. He notes Gore is 0-2 and may fight for his life, but until Gore proves himself, Jacob defaults to Fremd. He is cautious and not confident in betting.
Gore has speed and power advantages, and his move to Fortis MMA should improve his game. However, he was flatlined in his last fight, which raises durability concerns. Fremd is more complete but Gore's takedown defense and power could lead to a knockout. The under 2.5 rounds or fight doesn't go to decision are safer plays. Gore by knockout at +330 is a tempting prop.
Paul also picks Josh Fremd, highlighting his experience, pace, and pressure. He notes that Fremd has never fought someone with a losing record and has shown improvements. Paul is critical of Gore's learning on the job and lack of recent power, and expects Fremd to tire Gore out and get the victory.
The MMA Guru picks Josh Fremd over Tresean Gore, citing Fremd's underrated grappling and experience. He notes Gore's lack of readiness, having been finished by Cody Brundage and outhustled by Bryan Battle. Fremd held his own against Anthony Hernandez on short notice, and the Guru believes Fremd's size and reach advantage will help him deal with Gore's power, predicting a second-round submission via guillotine choke.

Round 1
The sample size may be low, but combined, these two middleweights of Brundage (7-2, 1-1 UFC) and Gore (3-1, 0-1 UFC) total for just two decision wins in their careers. The intensity was high at the weigh-ins between them and turned it from just another fight to potentially one to watch, and referee Mike Beltran is prepared should anything go awry. The gloves are reluctantly touched, and Brundage walks through a loud leg kick to wing a spinning back fist. As soon as he turns about, Brundage ducks down for a takedown pursuit, and he drops Gore down to his knees. Gore fights back to his feet, and as he does, Brundage gets one hook in standing from behind. Gore breaks the grip and blocks a quick head kick, but Brundage follows it with a standing elbow that gets Gore’s attention. Brundage unloads with an overhand right, and he steps in with another vertical elbow. Brundage keeps his distance with a body kick, and Gore goes after leg kick that is checked. Brundage slips a punch to loose a right hand over the top, and Gore snaps the head back with a jab. Gore continues to work the jab as he marches forward, and he connects with a thudding low kick for good measure. Brundage swings and misses on a right hook, and Gore continues plodding forward with jabs and calf kicks. Gore just misses with a home run punch, and Brundage slides out of the way and walks straight into a leg kick. Gore doubles up with the kicks down low, and Brundage changes stances briefly after absorbing them. Brundage attempts a winging right hook, and Gore is able to block it and stay in his face.
Gore throws a naked leg kick, and Brundage counters perfectly with a short right hand that knocks Gore clean off his feet. Brundage leaps down to start unloading with his fists, and he steps into mount and continues blasting away with punches. One particular punch separates Gore from his senses, and Gore slumps to the mat, out cold.
Beltran is quick to recognize Gore's goose is cooked, and he steps in as Brundage is pounding on a sleeping Gore. When peeled away, Brundage shouts that he thought they were wrestling to no one in particular.
The Official Result
Cody Brundage def. Tresean Gore R1 3:50 via KO (Punches)
Angelo picks Tresean Gore but with low confidence due to unknowns. He notes Gore has power and solid takedown defense, while Cody Brundage can be chinny. He believes if the pre-UFC Gore shows up with high pace, he wins; but if the gun-shy version appears, he loses. He is not betting this fight because of the uncertainty.
Big Brady confidently picks Tresean Gore, citing his superior striking power and takedown defense. He notes that Cody Brundage has been hurt when shooting takedowns in past fights and that Gore hits very hard. Brady believes Brundage will struggle to get the fight to the mat, and on the feet, Gore will land big shots and potentially knock him out. He predicts a second-round knockout for Gore, though he acknowledges Gore's low volume as a potential weakness.
Cody leans Gore due to his athleticism and power, but acknowledges he's inexperienced and looked poor against Brian Battle. He thinks Brundage's chin is suspect and Gore could catch him. However, he's not confident because Gore is still raw.
The host bets 2.5 units on Tresean Gore at -132. He believes Gore is a quicker, faster, and more powerful striker with good takedown defense. He thinks Gore will be hard to hold down and can work back to his feet. He expects Gore to knock out Brundage within two rounds if he pulls the trigger. He notes that if Gore stays gun-shy, things could get iffy.
Paul is on Gore at -110, his only bet on the card so far. He thinks Gore will bounce back from his loss to Battle and that Brundage is coming in on short notice and has looked poor. He caps the line at -150 and wouldn't bet it above that.
The Guru picks Tresean Gore over Cody Brundage, believing Gore is more technical and strong. He thinks Brundage may gas out chasing takedowns, leaving himself open for a KO. He notes Gore's loss to Bryan Battle is excusable as Battle is underrated. He predicts a KO in the second round.

Angelo picks Tresean Gore for his heavy hands and relentless wrestling. He notes Gore's pattern of throwing punches and immediately shooting takedowns, which should wear down Battle. Battle has a good ground game but was losing to Urbina before the comeback. Angelo expects Gore to control the fight with pressure and takedowns.
Cody says he has no hard lean and wants no part of this fight. He notes that both fighters are green and raw. He initially thought Gore was the better athlete but now leans slightly towards Battle because of recent activity. However, he is not confident and would rather avoid betting on it.
Daniel Levi picks Tresean Gore, citing his striking, timing, and mindset. He notes Gore has been handling UFC-level fighters in the gym and has a strong amateur background, including wars with Robert Hale. Levi acknowledges Bryan Battle's toughness and durability but believes Gore's shots will be too much for Battle to keep coming forward. He expects Gore to get his first UFC win, possibly by knockout.
Lock of the Night picks Battle as an underdog, citing his superior experience, durability, and grappling. He notes that Gore has limited experience and struggled against lower-level competition. He expects Battle to drown Gore with cardio and finish him in the later rounds. He likes Battle inside the distance at +330.
Paul is leaning towards Battle because he has already made his UFC debut and has recent fight experience. He notes that Gore pulled out of their previous fight and hasn't fought since. He thinks Battle is a tough, scrappy guy who could pull off the upset. However, he is not confident and says he doesn't want much action on this fight.
The MMA Guru picks Tresean Gore, partly due to disliking Battle's nickname 'Pooh Bear'. He notes Battle gets hit a lot and Gore has power in both hands. He predicts a first-round KO around three minutes in, citing Gore's technical skills and finishing ability.

View on SherdogBETTING PREVIEW | SCOUTING REPORT | ODDS: Fremd (-110), Petroski (-110)
Round 1
A pair of middleweights happy to get the job done any way they can will meet as the prelims roll on. Both Fremd (11-5, 2-3 UFC) and Petroski (10-3, 5-2 UFC) celebrate exactly four wins by knockout and four by submission, and both are coming in off rough knockout losses. Taking charge of the cage will be referee Nick Berens, who is ready for what is about to come next. The Pennsylvanians touch gloves, and Petroski drifts back to move to the middle of the Octagon. Both men measure one another in opposing stances, and Berens warns them for outstretched fingers. When Petroski engages, he fires off a mean right hand that knocks Fremd to his seat. As Fremd climbs up to his feet, Petroski rushes at him and hits a clean double-leg takedown to land in a guillotine setup from his opponent. Petroski breaks out of the choke and quickly shifts over to side control, and Fremd frames off with an elbow and pounds it into Petroski’s nose to draw a trickle of blood out of the bridge of it. Petroski pays it no mind as he uses heavy chest pressure and hunts for a potential arm-triangle choke, only to bail on it when Fremd defends by turning to his side. Petroski resides on top, and the crowd starts booing his control while Berens mentions that Petroski should do more. Petroski answers by stepping over, in hopes of isolating Fremd’s left arm. Fremd twists and turns to not let Petroski set anything up, but the result is more ground control and little more. Petroski steps over to full mount as 80 seconds remain on the clock, and Fremd bucks like a bronco but cannot get the cowboy that trains out of Renzo Philly off of him. Petroski moves himself back to half guard to keep Fremd on his back, and he jams down a few elbows while otherwise grinding Fremd out. Petroski gets back to mount, and he smacks Fremd with a single elbow before Fremd turns around. Fremd gives his back up, and as the horn sounds, Petroski drills him behind the ear with a strike or two. Berens calls him on it, and the two go back to their corners.

Round 2
Petroski is warned between rounds to avoid any late strikes, and when they begin, Petroski says hello to his opponent with a clubbing right that shakes Fremd up. Fremd responds with a body kick, and he dips back as Petroski clips him with a head kick. Fremd tries to reply with one of his own, and Petroski grabs hold of the leg and use it to dump Fremd to the mat. Petroski jumps on top, and the two continue moving until Petroski latches onto a guillotine choke. Fremd shifts to his knees to prevent the choke from succeeding, but this lets Petroski take his back. Petroski quickly relocates to full mount, and he starts hunting for an arm-triangle choke. Petroski clasps his hands together, and he uses his full body weight to press down while turning Fremd’s head a brilliant shade of red. Fremd gets a modicum of space as he punches Petroski in the side, and Petroski comfortably rests on top and lets the choke go. Fremd kicks him off, and Petroski is forced back to full guard. It does not take long for Petroski to jump into the half guard and employ another arm-triangle choke, and Fremd grits it out once more. Fremd scoots his way to the cage wall, and he throws his legs up in search of a desperate inverted triangle that transitions into an armbar. Petroski stays heavy on top until the horn sounds.

Round 3
Petroski offers a glove touch to begin the final frame, and Fremd wants nothing to do with it. Instead, Fremd attacks, practically sprinting at his opponent with punches and leaping at him with a flying knee. Petroski backs himself to the wall, taking strikes from the pumped-up Fremd, but that offense quickly tapers off as Petroski shifts to the side and gets away. When Fremd gives chase, Petroski pursues a single-leg takedown and hits it to put Fremd down once more. The crowd, knowing what is about to come for the next three-plus minutes, starts booing. Petroski tries to shut some of those naysayers up by moving straight into full mount, and Fremd answers after eating one strike by turning around to give up his back. When Petroski starts fishing for a choke, Fremd turns over again, only for Petroski to be ready with an arm-triangle choke setup. Petroski lets it go when Fremd climbs his feet off the wall, and Fremd’s mad scramble after it gets hold of a quick inverted triangle choke again. Petroski breaks out of it and gets himself to side control in a hurry, and his attempt to isolate Fremd’s left arm begins. Petroski grinds his elbow on Fremd’s face while considering some armlock, but there is nothing to it as Berens calls for more action. Fremd explodes to turn to his side, and Petroski follows him as he twists to partially take Fremd’s back. Petroski smacks his foe on the sides of the head, and Fremd crawls to the fence and lean against it. Petroski pounds on him, and Fremd tugs on the fence in hopes of standing. Petroski hands on from behind with one hook in, and Fremd shakes his head in disappointment. The round ends as the audience rains down boos.

The Official Result
Andre Petroski def. Josh Fremd via Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)
Angelo picks Andre Petroski despite his two-fight losing streak and bizarre self-knockout in his last fight. He believes Petroski is the better fighter overall with superior wrestling, power, and speed. However, he acknowledges Josh Fremd's cardio advantage and the elevation factor, which could favor Fremd if he pressures early. Angelo warns against betting on this fight due to its unpredictability.
Cody picks Fremd, citing Petroski's poor cardio and tendency to fade. He notes Fremd's altitude training and generalist skills, and believes Fremd can survive the first round and take over. He expects a late finish or decision for Fremd.
Daniel Vreeland picks Josh Fremd but is hesitant. He notes that Fremd has been waiting for a big knockout and that Petroski is a front-runner who gasses when he can't dominate early. He thinks Fremd can weather the storm and take over. He mentions that Petroski wants a first-round KO to avoid going deep, which plays into Fremd's hands. He has bet on Fremd before and trusts him.
Josh Fremd is a pick 'em and worth a shot. He utilizes pressure and pace, which will come through against Petroski, who tends to slow down. If Fremd can survive the early onslaught from Petroski, he should start to grind and eventually find a finish in the third round.
Paul picks Fremd, citing Petroski's cardio issues and Fremd's altitude advantage. He notes Petroski's tendency to gas and believes Fremd's volume and durability will win the fight. He expects Fremd to win by decision or late stoppage.

Round 1
Middleweights are next on the docket, as Kopylov (11-2, 3-2 UFC) tries to make it four wins in a row at 185 pounds. A Factory X representative, Fremd (11-4, 2-2 UFC) headlined multiple Legacy Fighting Alliance events prior to his signing with the UFC in 2022. Mark Smith answers the call as the third man in the cage. Fremd pumps out his jab from the start, eats a few leg kicks and scores with some shin to skin contact to the body. Kopylov continues to target the lead leg with kicks and seems content to allow the fight to come to him. A low blow from Fremd results in a brief pause before they resume their dance in the center of the cage. Fremd sneaks in front kick to the body and backs up the Russian with a multi-strike burst of hands and feet. Kopylov connects with a surgical two-punch combination. He seems to be getting more and more comfortable in the pocket. Fremd shoots on a single-leg but gets nowhere. Kopylov breaks away with punches, takes the center of the cage and uncorks his educated hands. He follows them with a kick to the body. Momentum is starting to turn here. Fremd shoots on another takedown attempt with 20 seconds left, only to get denied. Kopylov lands with a spinning backfist and an uppercut to close the round.

Round 2
Kopylov drives a left hand into the body, follows with an uppercut and goes back upstairs with his hands, knocking Fremd off-balance. Fremd paws with his jab and whiffs on a takedown, then eats a head kick. Damage has started to build on his face and his body. Kopylov denies a single-leg takedown, pushes away the American. Fremd’s mouth is wide open, likely due to difficulty breathing through a bloody nose. Kopylov picks his shots but catches another kick low. Smith pauses the action and issues another warning. Kopylov goes to the body and head with a beautiful combination. He backs away and narrowly misses a lunging right uppercut. A savage kick to the body forces Fremd to drop his hands. Kopylov wisely follows with a head kick.
A left hook to the liver drops Fremd to all fours and results in an immediate stoppage
.
The Official Result
Roman Kopylov def. Josh Fremd—KO (Punch to the Body) 4:44 R2
Angelo is very confident in Roman Kopylov, calling him the best value on the card at -275. He highlights Kopylov's high-level kickboxing and improved takedown defense. He dismisses Josh Fremd's grappling threat, noting Fremd struggled to take down Jamie Pickett. He believes Kopylov's striking is next level and Fremd cannot hang on the feet.
Big Brady likes Kopylov to win, citing his improved striking, durability, and body work. He notes Kopylov has been training in Dagestan to improve his wrestling and has looked better each fight. He expects Kopylov to stuff takedowns, break Fremd down with body shots, and finish him in the second or third round. He is less confident at the current minus 400 odds but still picks the win.
Cody picks Kopylov confidently, detailing his improved takedown defense after training in Dagestan. He notes Kopylov's durability, power, and recent finishes. He is concerned about Fremd's cardio and wrestling but believes Kopylov will win, possibly by knockout.
Daniel Levi picks Roman Kopylov but is not interested at the current odds of minus-410, as the line opened at minus-140. He praises Kopylov's clean hands, precise striking, and improved takedown defense, but notes that Josh Fremd has not yet shown his regional form in the UFC. Levi believes Kopylov will win but considers it a dog-or-pass situation at these prices.
Fremd is a Factory X product with improving grappling, cage pushing, and submission threats. Kopylov has cardio issues and has been slowing down in fights. Fremd should close the distance, wear on Kopylov with takedowns and clinch work, and potentially get a second or third round finish. I like the decision prop or a late finish for Fremd at plus 240.
Paul picks Kopylov but notes the minus 405 line is too high to bet. He acknowledges Kopylov's recent improvements in takedown defense and striking, and sees him as the clear winner. He mentions Fremd's recent weight miss and poor performance against Jamie Pickett.
The MMA Guru picks Roman Kopylov over Josh Fremd, stating Kopylov is at a different class. He praises Kopylov's recent performances, including a head kick KO of Claudio Ribeiro, and believes he has improved his wrestling. He criticizes Fremd's lack of power and ability to win a gritty fight. He predicts a late second or third round TKO for Kopylov.

Angelo picks Fremd, citing his improving grappling and athleticism. He notes Pickett is a solid striker but gun-shy and has poor takedown defense. He expects Fremd to wrestle and grind out a win.
Big Brady picks Josh Fremd to win by submission in the second round. He believes Fremd has Pickett covered in every aspect, noting Pickett's three-fight skid and poor durability. He mentions Fremd's power and submission game, and says Fremd can win by decision, knockout, or submission. He is not laying -325 but is confident Fremd gets it done.
Cody picks Fremd, citing his wrestling background, cardio, and improvement. He notes Fremd's competitive fight against Fluffy Hernandez and his submission win over Cedric Dumas. He criticizes Pickett's three-fight losing streak and lack of UFC-level skills. He thinks Fremd's wrestling and grappling advantage will be too much, and that Pickett's job is on the line but he doesn't see a path to victory.
James picks Fremd but is not confident, calling it a 'bad fight' and not his type. He thinks Fremd should win but notes Pickett is tough, long, and strong in the clinch. He believes the line at -350 is too wide and should be around -250. He likely won't bet it.
Fremd showed a relentless wrestling style in his last fight, but he is a heavy favorite at -350 against a guy on a three-fight losing streak. Pickett relies on physical traits but is not great technically. Fremd's wrestling and pace should be too much, but trusting him at such a short price is risky given his limited sample size. Fremd should grind out a decision.
Paul picks Fremd, agreeing that Pickett doesn't belong in the UFC. He notes Fremd's submission skills and ability to get dominant positions. He thinks Fremd will likely win by submission. He considered Pickett at plus money but after digging, concluded Pickett is just not good enough.
The MMA Guru picks Josh Fremd over Jamie Pickett, noting Fremd's losses to Anthony Hernandez (who is doing that to everyone) and Tresean Gore (a nasty guillotine). He believes Fremd is more well-rounded with grappling and striking, and that Pickett tends to fade in fights. He thinks Fremd's potential and size advantage will lead to a win, possibly ending Pickett's UFC career.

View on SherdogBETTING PREVIEW | SCOUTING REPORT | ODDS: Dumas (-180), Fremd (+155)
Round 1
A finish is not guaranteed but highly likely in this middleweight clash. The debuting and much-maligned Dumas (7-0, 0-0 UFC) will try to hand Fremd (9-4, 0-2 UFC) his third loss in three UFC tries, as these towering 185ers duke it out. Referee Chris Tognoni may have his hands full when these two get after it, and there is no glove touch to clock them in. Fremd walks straight into a leg kick, and he picks his leg up as if to throw one back, but there is none to come. Dumas chops at the lead leg again, and Fremd responds in kind. Dumas swings a right hand over the top to sting Fremd, and he follows a low kick with it. Fremd shakes it out, and he blocks a head kick just in the nick of time. They score with alternating low kicks, and then trade jabs. Fremd sits down on a low kick, and Dumas charges with an overhand right that zips past his foe’s face. Fremd ducks a punch and blocks a head kick, and he loads up on counters that do not successfully land. Fremd gets off another few low kicks, and Dumas cracks him with a right. Fremd replies with his own left hook, rocking the undefeated fighter, and allow him to change levels for a double. Fremd scoops “The Reaper” off his feet and drops him flat on his back, taking side control instead of trying to force a finish. Fremd hangs on from on top, and as Dumas signals to Tognoni for a standup, Fremd slashes down with an elbow. Fremd gets dragged back to the closed guard, and he slides his legs higher for a potential triangle choke setup. Fremd comfortable holds on until Dumas sits up, and Dumas’ neck is in a precarious position as Fremd laches on to a guillotine choke. The newcomer slides his head out, and he wings a high kick that glances off the shoulder. Fremd takes a few punches on the chin and turns the tables to sting Dumas again, and Dumas finds himself pursuing a takedown after getting hurt. Fremd stops this in its tracks and shoves him to the wire, and he lifts up a knee to the side. Dumas tries to throw knees up the middle, and Fremd replies with a jump knee and lands a blow after the bell. Fremd immediately apologizes, and there is no bad blood from it.

Tyler Treese scores the round: 10-9 Fremd
Round 2
The second round begins with a deceptively cautious Dumas, as he tosses out a body kick, avoids a counter, and suddenly springs into action with a chain of reaching punches. Fremd side-steps them and blocks the head for a follow-up kick, and he sticks out a few jabs. Fremd measures a right hand around the guard to rock “The Reaper,” and he secures a high hip toss to slam Dumas to his back. Fremd jumps straight into half guard, and he starts to drop down some ground strikes. Dumas recovers to the full guard and gets struck in the back of the head, to which Tognoni notices and warns Fremd. Fremd sneaks back to half guard and controls his man from above, and Dumas scrambles wildly to get up. Dumas searches for a back take and tries to go after a rear-naked choke, but he falls over the top and lands on his seat.
Fremd jumps on top to replicate Jon Jones’ seated guillotine choke that landed last week on Ciryl Gane, but he releases the grip to punch Dumas upside the head a few times. Seeing that the choke is still there, Fremd locks down the guillotine and squeezes with all his might. Shocked like Gane was, Dumas instantly taps, as the pressure is too much to bear.
Fremd has now won his first fight in the UFC, doing so by knocking off an unbeaten fighter with plenty of momentum behind him.
The Official Result
Josh Fremd def. Sedriques Dumas R2 3:00 via Submission (Guillotine Choke)
Angelo sees Sedriques Dumas as a well-rounded fighter with solid hands, kickboxing, and takedowns, mixing his attacks effectively. He notes Dumas is composed for a 27-year-old with only seven fights and believes the UFC is giving him Josh Fremd to push him. He acknowledges the risk of betting on a UFC debut with a street-fighting past but is confident in Dumas's potential.
Big Brady picks Sedriques Dumas, liking his build, power, and grappling. He notes Dumas has dangerous transitions on the ground and can lock up submissions. However, he questions Dumas's level of competition and says he doesn't want to bet on the fight. Brady predicts Dumas will get the fight to the mat and find a first-round submission.
Cody picks Fremd but is not confident, noting Fremd's short notice and recent submission loss. He thinks Fremd has a cardio and striking advantage but may not trust him with money.
Connor leans toward Dumas due to his physicality and athleticism, but acknowledges he is a very raw and messy fighter. He notes that Dumas has natural power and can finish fights, but his technique is poor and he could be exposed by a grinder like Fremd. He is not confident in the pick.
I think Dumas has the grappling advantage and should be able to submit Fremd, who has shown vulnerability to submissions. However, Dumas is untested at this level, and Fremd is a decent all-around fighter. I'm not confident enough to bet Dumas as a favorite, but I expect him to get his hand raised, likely by submission.
Paul picks Fremd as an underdog, noting Dumas' lack of high-level competition and Fremd's durability and cardio. He thinks Fremd can outwork Dumas and calls Dumas a potential parlay killer.
The MMA Guru picks Sedriques Dumas, calling him dangerous. He notes Dumas has a wicked guillotine and good striking, while Josh Fremd took the fight on short notice and has been finished before. He predicts Dumas will hurt Fremd on the feet and latch up a guillotine for a first-round finish.
Zane also leans toward Dumas but is very uncertain. He notes that Dumas is athletic and powerful but unschooled, while Fremd is a limited but tough grinder. He thinks Dumas's physicality might be enough, but Fremd could outwrestle him. He calls the fight a mess and advises against betting.

Big Brady picks Josh Fremd to win by first-round knockout. He notes that Fremd is a dangerous finisher with power and size, while Gore has looked hesitant and been knocked out by Cody Brundage. He acknowledges that Fremd is hittable and Gore has power, but trusts Fremd's aggression and finishing ability more.
Cody picks Josh Fremd, citing his wrestling base, size (6'4"), and solid regional wins. He notes Fremd's competitive performance against Anthony Hernandez on short notice and believes a full camp will benefit him. Cody criticizes Tresean Gore's inexperience, poor performance against Bryan Battle, and lack of volume. He also likes Fremd by submission at +900 as a sprinkle.
Daniel Levi is confident in Josh Fremd, citing his experience, size (6'4"), and paid dues on the regional scene. He views Gore as too green and immature, lacking seasoning despite athleticism. He bet Fremd at -170 for 2 units and plans to add more as the line improved. He expects Fremd to win via experience and possibly a finish.
Jacob picks Josh Fremd, citing his wrestling and ability to withstand Gore's striking. He notes Gore is 0-2 and may fight for his life, but until Gore proves himself, Jacob defaults to Fremd. He is cautious and not confident in betting.
Gore has speed and power advantages, and his move to Fortis MMA should improve his game. However, he was flatlined in his last fight, which raises durability concerns. Fremd is more complete but Gore's takedown defense and power could lead to a knockout. The under 2.5 rounds or fight doesn't go to decision are safer plays. Gore by knockout at +330 is a tempting prop.
Paul also picks Josh Fremd, highlighting his experience, pace, and pressure. He notes that Fremd has never fought someone with a losing record and has shown improvements. Paul is critical of Gore's learning on the job and lack of recent power, and expects Fremd to tire Gore out and get the victory.
The MMA Guru picks Josh Fremd over Tresean Gore, citing Fremd's underrated grappling and experience. He notes Gore's lack of readiness, having been finished by Cody Brundage and outhustled by Bryan Battle. Fremd held his own against Anthony Hernandez on short notice, and the Guru believes Fremd's size and reach advantage will help him deal with Gore's power, predicting a second-round submission via guillotine choke.

I love Hernandez as a prospect; he reminds me of a prime Cain Velasquez with pressure and grappling.

I see him getting his hand raised inside the distance.

Jacob picks Josh Fremd, citing his wrestling and ability to withstand Gore's striking. He notes Gore is 0-2 and may fight for his life, but until Gore proves himself, Jacob defaults to Fremd. He is cautious and not confident in betting.
Gore has speed and power advantages, and his move to Fortis MMA should improve his game. However, he was flatlined in his last fight, which raises durability concerns.
