Tuchalov is a good signing by the UFC based on his last win alone. He faced former UFC fighter Caio Machado, who was on a strong run after his UFC release, winning five straight fights, all by finish. Tuchalov completely mopped the floor with him and, impressively, became the first fighter to finish Machado.

Honestly, they made the right call having Vera as an alternate because he wasn’t as talented as some of the other names rumored
