Another shot at UFC debut
Light HeavyweightUFC
June 4, 2024
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.

Trocoli was dropped by the UFC in December of 2022, but is now slated to make his return to the promotion. He'll have to do it on short notice, and he'll face a fighter making his UFC debut in Sy, who has a 9-0 record as a professional MMA fighter. Trocoli, meanwhile, hasn't fought since 2021, when he bested Reslley Isael in a Brazilian Fighting Series bout.
Dropped by UFC
Light HeavyweightUFC
December 6, 2022
Trocoli has been released by the UFC following his withdrawal from UFC 282, Guilherme Cruz of MMAFighting.com reports.
ANALYSIS
It's been a brief and troubled stint in the UFC for Trocolo, who earned a contract on contender Series in July of 2019 but was dropped after failing a pre-fight drug test. He went on to serve a suspension before the company gave him another chance, but visa issues ended up canceling the bout. That was apparently the last straw, at least for the time being. He'll likely look to work his way back after getting his bearings in another promotion.

ANALYSIS
