'Doesn't know how to grapple'… UFC Vegas 100 winner shreds Michael Bisping's commentary after quick finish
11/09/2024 08:25 PM
UFC middleweight Tresean Gore got the last laugh after Michael Bisping criticized his grappling just seconds before another submission win at UFC Vegas 100.
Tresean Gore defeated Antonio Trócoli at UFC Vegas 100 in his long-awaited Octagon return. The former The Ultimate Fighter 29 finalist needed just minutes to trap Trócoli in a standing guillotine to secure the victory.
As Gore worked towards sinking in the choke, Michael Bisping questioned Gore’s technique in transitioning to the submission. Just seconds later, Gore got the win using the technique that Bisping was criticizing.
After getting word of Bisping’s commentary remarks, Gore didn’t hold back after securing his second UFC win.

Michael Bisping irritates Tresean Gore despite UFC Vegas 100 standout performance
During his UFC Vegas 100 post-fight press conference, UFC middleweight Tresean Gore reacted to Bisping’s critical remarks about his grappling technique.
“Man, Bisping literally always does that. I don’t know why, everything I do is untechnical and wrong,” “Last time I got that choke on that guy, [Josh Fremd], he was like ‘Oh man, it’s good! But it’s super untechnical!’. Was that untechnical? Because I literally just got the same choke in a row.
“If he says that’s not technical, then he doesn’t know how to grapple. But I respect him, he’s a former champion, and I look forward to becoming a champion myself one day.”
As of this writing, Bisping hasn’t responded to Gore’s criticism. As referenced above, Gore used a guillotine choke to defeat Josh Fremd in his first UFC win in Oct. 2022.
Tresean Gore becomes the latest fighter to rip UFC commentators
It was a long road back to the Octagon for Gore, after two years away from the cage. Health issues have troubled Gore throughout his brief UFC tenure, including a knee injury that forced him out of the TUF 29 finale.
Despite his hobbled UFC run, Gore was signed to the promotion, making his promotional debut against scheduled TUF 29 finale foe Bryan Battle. He lost by unanimous decision.
Back-to-back losses to Battle and Cody Brundage forced Gore to make a slew of changes to his skill set. He earned his first UFC win against Fremd to retain his spot on the roster.
Since retiring in 2017, Bisping has become one of the UFC’s longest-tenured commentators. He’s been a key presence on pay-per-view and fight night cards for the UFC’s ESPN coverage.
While there doesn’t seem to be genuine bad blood between Gore and Bisping, tensions are high after UFC Vegas 100. Gore is the latest example of fighters being critical of commentary, after Rinat Fakhretdinov’s harsh criticism of Daniel Cormier at UFC 308.
