Wrestling breakdown: Gavin Tucker’s clinchwork at UFC 256
Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC If you listened to the UFC commentary team, you would assume that Gavin Tucker defeated Billy Quarantillo at UFC 256 by sticking and moving on the outside, his best work coming when he avoided the pocket. Newfoundland’s Tucker came into the UFC as largely “just” an outfighter, hitting shifting combinations and doing his best TJ Dillashaw impression. However, after a two-year injury layoff, Tucker returned and demonstrated a sharp new area of skill in his game.
