Antonio Trocoli for MMA Fighting
That was the biggest hit of my career. I've had other prizes before in Brazilian real, like R$48,000 (approx. $8,600 USD), but not that much in dollars, right? Especially in the Colossus, the biggest field in WSOP. ... Who doesn't want to turn $500 into $500,000? This tournament pays a lot for the value [of the buy-in]. I had the dream and made it to the final. It was incredible.
Trocoli last fought against Tresean Gore in November 2024 at UFC Fight Night 247. In that fight, Antonio was defeated by a choke hold in the first round. He has 12 wins, five losses and one fight that was ruled a no contest.
