Loses lopsided decision to Drew Dober

Tuck lost to Drew Dober via unanimous decision (27-30, 26-30, 26-30) at UFC Lincoln on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Tuck was a big underdog heading into the fight, and certainly looked the part. He was unsuccessful in his early takedown attempts, and though he landed an occasional counter, it was clearly Dober who was getting the best of most striking exchanges. Tuck was taken down in both the second and third rounds, and while he briefly threatened a guillotine from his back in each instance, those attempts were short-lived. He mounted virtually no offense from that position, instead absorbing a ton of punishment and getting dominated in the striking battle. Though he prevented Dober from passing guard, that was essentially the only positive note for him. Tuck has now lost three of his last four bouts in the Octagon, with the only victory over that span coming against a past-his-prime Takanori Gomi.

Easily submits Takanori Gomi in Singapore

Tuck defeated Takanori Gomi via submission (rear-naked choke) at 1:12 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Kallang, Singapore.
ANALYSIS
Easy work. Tuck quickly pushed forward the minute the opening bell rang and an overmatched Gomi had no chance to respond. The dominant effort says more about Gomi than it does about Tuck. With a 4-4 career record in the UFC, Tuck has proven to be a useful, if unspectacular, member of the roster. There is next to no upside with the 32-year-old Tuck, but he isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
Lets Damien Brown back in the fight

Tuck lost to Damien Brown via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Melbourne, Australia.
ANALYSIS
Tuck appeared to be the better fighter in the first round, but he took his foot off the gas and let the fight get away. In the first round, Tuck defended a guillotine choke and did solid work from the top. The two ended up back on their feet, and Tuck was able to land a pretty solid hook that floored Brown. However, in the next two rounds, Tuck threw very little volume. Brown did not do that much better, but he was more active and moving forward. If Tuck wants to be successful, he will need to be much more active.

Tuck will now face Josh Emmett at UFC Rotterdam on Sunday, as his original opponent, Nick Hein, had to withdraw due to injury.
ANALYSIS
Tuck is 3-2 in his last five bouts, and will attempt to rack up back-to-back victories against a 31-year-old that will be making his UFC debut. Even though Tuck is more experienced in the octagon, he will surely have to adjust his game plan for a new opponent, and will have to do so just four days before the scheduled bout.
