Marco Tulio will be channeling his inner Jon Jones this Saturday night at UFC Vegas 111 in Las Vegas, Nevada, especially since the two fighters now share the same exact tattoo.<\/p>\n
On Friday, Tulio took to the stage for UFC Vegas 111\u2019s official weigh ins (replay HERE<\/a>). The fast-rising middleweight prospect successfully tipped the scale at 185.5 pounds for his main card matchup against England\u2019s Christian Leroy Duncan, but that\u2019s not what fight fans noticed most. Instead, they quickly realized that Tulio is now sporting some fresh (yet very familiar) ink on his chest.<\/p>\n In the exact same spot as Jones, Tulio now has \u201cPhilippians 4:13\u201d tattooed across his right shoulder onto his chest. The religious verse \u2014 which has become synonymous with Jones in the MMA universe \u2014 states, \u201cI can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.\u201d It\u2019s a popular saying to say the least and something that anyone has the right to get tattooed on their body, but this seems like a little bit of copycat work.<\/p>\n Fight fans instantly noticed Tulio\u2019s new ink and quickly took action by hoping on social media and posting the best trash talk they could muster. These are probably the same fans who consistently hammer UFC lightweight champion Ilia Topuria for having similar tattoos as UFC superstar Conor McGregor<\/a>.<\/p>\n Check out some of the reaction below and let us know your thoughts on Tulio\u2019s new Jones-inspired ink!<\/p>\n \u201cI like Tulio but he deserves to get slumped out cold just for this.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cGonna have to rethink his part in the parlay, great.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201dAt least its not a massive contradiction to the person he his.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201dCopying someones tattoo is one of the most stupid thing person can do.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHope he get\u2019s KO\u2019d.\u201d<\/p>\n MMAmania.com<\/a> will deliver LIVE round-by-round, blow-by-blow coverage of the entire UFC Vegas 111 fight card on fight night, starting with the ESPN+<\/a> preliminary card bouts at 4 p.m. ET, followed by the remaining main card balance on ESPN+<\/a> at 7 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n To check out the latest and greatest UFC Vegas 111 news and notes be sure to hit up our comprehensive event archive here<\/a>.
