Tresean Gore credits Jared Cannonier’s ‘bubble fighting’ method for latest win

Tresean
Gore has Jared
Cannonier’s lifetime of experience on his side. 

Gore (6-4) took on Azamat
Bekoev (20-5) in a middleweight outing at
UFC Fight Night 272. The fight was a closely-contested affair
for the most part until Bekoev appeared visibly exhausted in the
last round. Gore snapped in a sneaky guillotine choke and choked
his opponent out to secure the win in the final round. 

Gore trains with veteran
UFC middleweight contender Cannonier at the MMA Lab in Phoenix,
Arizona. “Mr. Vicious” revealed that Cannonier taught him a
specific “bubble fighting” style, which he expects to be out on DVD
someday. Gore explains that the style is based on imaginary bubbles
around a fighter and their opponent, with the focus being on
maintaining range. Gore credits his submission win over Bekoev to
the Cannonier’s bubble-fighting lessons.

A Helpful Technique

“Working with people like Cannonier – he helped me to realize the
dangers that are there,” Gore said in a post-fight interview. “He’s
taught me how to bubble-fight. I’ll tell you right now, one day
he’s gonna have a DVD out called bubble fighting. Pretty much
meaning – there’s a bubble around me, there’s a bubble around my
opponent. Know your distance, know where you’re at. And today I
used the system that he showed me.” 

Gore is now 3-4 in the
UFC, with all of his wins coming by guillotine submissions.
Meanwhile, Bekoev is on a two-fight slump and 2-2 in the
UFC.
