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.

Finished in late-notice bout
Trocoli lost to Shara Magomedov via KO (punches) at 2:27 of Round 3 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
ANALYSIS
It's been a hectic last few weeks for Trocoli. He was due to face Ikram Aliskerov in Vegas last week, but that fight got cancelled when Ikram was moved to the main event of this card. Trocoli then agreed to face Magomedov just a couple days ago. He looked pretty good for about a round before predictably gassing out. Trocoli is known as a grappler, but his technique is poor and his chin is questionable. It's a bad combination. That said, the Brazilian will undoubtedly get another shot with the company following his willingness to "save" this fight on such short notice.

Fighting in Saudi Arabia after all
Trocoli will now face Sharaputdin Magomedov at UFC Saudi Arabia on Saturday, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Trocoli was initially supposed to face Ikram Aliskerov at the event, but following the withdrawal of Khamzat Chimaev, Aliskerov was promoted to a main-event matchup against Robert Whittaker. Just days before the scheduled fight, however, another withdrawal on the card will allow Trocoli to compete after all. He'll enter as a sizable underdog however, checking in at (+410) or greater depending on the book.

Aliskerov fight canceled
Trocoli will no longer fight Ikram Aliskerov at UFC Vegas 93 on Saturday, MMAJunkie.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The UFC needed someone to replace Khamzat Chimaev (illness) as Robert Whittaker's opponent for June 22, when the promotion is scheduled to undergo its first event in Saudi Arabia. Aliskerov took Chimaev's place, leaving Trocoli without an opponent for Saturday. It is too late for the UFC to find him another middleweight to fight then.

Another shot at UFC debut
Trocoli will step in on short notice to take on Ikram Aliskerov at UFC Vegas 93 on June 15, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
It's been a rocky road to the UFC for Trocoli, who picked up a submission victory on Dana White's Contender Series in 2019 that was later ruled a no-contest after Trocoli failed a pre-fight drug test. He was dropped by the UFC at that time but ended up re-signing later, though his two scheduled fights since then have fallen through for various reasons. Now, he'll draw a 15-1 fighter on less than two weeks' notice in Aliskerov, who happens to be undefeated with the company. Trocoli will hold five-inch height and six-inch reach advantages, however.
