Gore by name, gore by nature.
32-year old Tresean Gore claimed victory via unanimous decision over Vicente Luque in the UFC 330 prelim card – but not all of him survived the fight.
A series of vicious flying knees from Luque did plenty of damage but wasn’t enough for victory, with ‘Mr Vicious’ taking a tough fight for the biggest win of his career.

But the crowd at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia were left horrified when Gore and Joe Rogan revealed post-bout that one of the knees, most likely in the final seconds of the last round, had taken out several teeth.
“It seems like you got a pretty serious injury,” Rogan said as Gore smiled to show the missing lower teeth.
“It’s serious – but it shows how tough you are.”
But amid groans from the fans, Gore’s reaction was truly savage.
“I don’t give a f**k,” he said.
“It is what it is.
“I can get that s**t fixed.
“I might be talking with a lisp right now, but damn it, I’m going home with two cheques.
“So I’ll get it fixed with one of my cheques.”
With the crowd beginning to cheer, a shot of Gore’s cornerman holding his newly detached teeth prompted another round of gasps.
Safe to say it’s a good day to be a dentist in Philly.
