“Bryan Battle versus Tresean Gore. Nobody knows this yet; Tresean Gore is injured. It looks like his meniscus,” said White.
“I think a lot of people figured that this kid could win it. You know, obviously a great fight with him and Bryan Battle. Gore is out, probably gonna be out for 6 months. Now, Bryan Battle will be facing Gilbert Urbina,” he added.
Dana White confirms Tresean Gore will compete in the UFC once fit
Gore was a part of the Brian Ortega contingent. Despite his unfortunate injury, and the loss of opportunity to win the prestigious TUF show, White assured Gore will be a part of a UFC show once the 3-0 fighter heals up from his injury. There is no doubt about his quality. His one-shot knockout of Urbina in the semi-finals was an accurate measure of his immense talent.
