Dana White: Tresean Gore out of TUF 29 Finale with knee injury, Gilbert Urbina steps in as replacement
“The Ultimate Fighter 29” season finale has been shaken up due to injury.
Following the last episode of the season on Tuesday night, the middleweight finals were set between Tresean Gore and Bryan Battle to determine who would win the 29th season of the show and earn a UFC contract.
On the final episode of the season, Gore punched his ticket to the finale by knocking out Gilbert Urbina with a counter-left hook in the second round.
However, according to UFC president Dana White, Gore (3-0) has suffered a knee injury and will be unable to compete at UFC on ESPN 30 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
“Tresean Gore is injured, it looks like his meniscus,” White told TMZ. “I think a lot of people figured that this kid could win it. Obviously, (it would have been) a great fight with him and Bryan Battle. Gore is out. Probably going to be out for six months.”
Gore’s replacement? The man he knocked out, Urbina (6-1).
Fights during the season of ‘TUF’ are considered exhibitions, therefore Urbina’s loss to Gore does not affect his professional record. His lone official professional loss came against current UFC welterweight Sean Brady via unanimous decision.
White said when Gore is healthy, he will be granted the opportunity to fight on an official UFC card.
The TUF Finale will take place as a part of UFC on ESPN 30 on Aug. 28 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The event is headlined by Edson Barboza vs. Giga Chikadze.
