Alex Morono and Carlos Leal will face off in the UFC 314 prelims on Saturday, April 12.

Here’s my Gore vs. Tulio prediction.

Tresean Gore vs. Marco Tulio Odds, Prediction

Middleweight Bout Odds Gore Odds +300 Tulio Odds -400 Over/under rounds 1.5 (-135/-105) Projection: Tulio 79.8%

Marco Tulio is a dangerous prospect in the middleweight division, with fast-twitch athleticism and a well-rounded skillset. Tulio also has nearly double the number of professional fights as Tresean Gore – who carries significant power and a slick guillotine choke but offers limited minute-winning upside in any matchup as a low-volume striker with poor cardio.

This fight might look competitive in the early stages, but Tulio has the more coherent game in an extended, technical fight. The UFC has given Tulio a few soft landing spots in the promotion, after making him fight twice to earn his contract on Contender Series, as I rate Ihor Potieria and Gore near the bottom of the UFC’s current talent pool.

I’d use Tulio as a parlay piece up to -400 – right around where I projected his moneyline – and would consider his odds to win via KO/TKO (projected -111, listed +115) or inside the distance (projected -175) either as prop wagers or on round-robin tickets.
