Azamat Bekoev vs. Tresean Gore joins UFC Fight Night 272 card

[ASFN Admin]

Rising middleweights will look to rebound at UFC Fight Night 272.

Azamat Bekoev takes on Tresean Gore on April 4 from the Meta APEX in Las Vegas (Paramount+). Two people with knowledge of the booking recently informed MMA Junkie but asked to remain anonymous because the promotion has yet to make an official announcement.

Bekoev (20-4 MMA, 2-1 UFC) is coming off a TKO loss to Yousri Belgaroui at UFC Fight Night 262 this past October. Prior to that, the former LFA champion was on an eight-fight winning streak, including three knockouts in a row.

Season 29 "Ultimate Fighter" finalist Gore (5-4 MMA, 2-4 UFC) has split his past four appearances. After submitting Josh Fremd and Antonio Trócoli with guillotine chokes, the 31-year-old dropped back-to-back bouts against Marco Tulio and Rodolfo Vieira.

With the addition, the current UFC Fight Night 272 lineup includes:

• Hailey Cowan vs. Alice Pereira
• Alessandro Costa vs. Stewart Nicoll
• Azamat Bekoev vs. Tresean Gore
