Tresean Gore pulled off the biggest win of his career against Azamat Bekoev at UFC Fight Night 272, and did so after overcome adversity.
Gore (6-4 MMA, 3-4 UFC) was rocked and on the verge of being stopped in the second round of the middleweight bout vs. Bekoev (20-5 MMA, 2-2 UFC) at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas, but that moment only appeared to awaken the beast.

“Look what discipline gets you,” Gore said in his post-fight interview with Michael Bisping. “This is just the beginning. I’m going to show what I can do. Keep doubting. I have title aspirations, but I’ve got to take my time.”
