Overview

• Vieira earned a unanimous decision victory over Gore with judges’ scores of 29-28, 30-27 and 30-27 at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas.
• He controlled the stand-up exchanges despite landing only one takedown out of six attempts across three rounds.
• Gore entered on thin ice after missing weight by 3.5 pounds and was unable to mount significant offense under Vieira’s pressure.
• The win snapped Vieira’s two-fight losing streak and moved his UFC record to 6-3.
• Vieira attributed his sharper striking and renewed confidence to a six-week camp at Fighting Nerds in São Paulo under coaches Pablo Sucupira, Flavio Alvaro and Wagner Motta.
