Gets another shot at Abdul-Malik
Trocoli will take on Mansur Abdul-Malik in a middleweight bout at UFC 323 in Las Vegas on Dec. 6, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Trocoli was initially slated to take on Abdul-Malik in February at UFC Seattle, but he withdrew from the fight for undisclosed reasons. He'll get another shot at the Pittsburgh-born middleweight, who is off to a much better start in the UFC, sitting at 2-0-1. Trocoli, meanwhile, has lost his first two bouts in the promotion and is in desperate need of a victory.

Falls out of UFC Seattle
Trocoli has withdrawn from his scheduled matchup against Mansur Abdul-Malik at UFC Seattle on Feb. 22, Nolan King of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
No specific reason was provided for Trocoli's withdrawal, as the middleweight fighter had been looking to bounce back from a quick loss to Tresean Gore last November. Contender Series alumni Nick Klein will step up to face Abdul-Malik in Trocoli's stead.

Next fight scheduled
Trocoli is scheduled to Mansur Abdul-Malik in a middleweight fight at UFC Seattle on Feb. 22, per Nolan King of MMA Junkie.
ANALYSIS
Ideally for Trocoli, 2025 is a much better year for one of 2024's more disappointing middleweights. He suffered a TKO loss to Sharaputin Magomedov and submitted to Tresean Gore.

Lasts 83 seconds in Vegas
Trocoli lost to Tresean Gore via submission (guillotine choke) at 1:23 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
This was the expected result given the fact Trocoli entered as a +145 underdog, but the fact he was only able to last 83 seconds against an opponent that had not fought in more than two years is a terrible sign. Trocoli pushed forward for a single-leg takedown attempts and left his neck exposed in the process. He was tapping out moments later. The Brazilian has now suffered back-to-back stoppage defeats in a span of four-plus months to begin his time with the company. He may not get a third chance.

Next fight scheduled
Trocoli is scheduled to compete against Tresean Gore in a middleweight fight at UFC Vegas 100 on Nov. 9, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
After participating in a late-notice fight, Trocoli will receive another opportunity to compete. Up next for him is Gore, whose multiple withdrawals have prevented him from winning a fight since 2022.
