Who at 155 beats Gillespie?

[Reach4theSky]

Super impressed with this guy. Top notch wrestling and is tough as nails..

Khabib and possibly Ferguson are the only two I would favor over him. I think hes number 3 in the division right now...

Thoughts..

At this rate, probably himself. He's only getting older, while refusing to call out anybody from the top 10.

He's had like 5 fights now? Meanwhile Hernandez fights Cowboy in his 3rd UFC fight. Point being that Gregor needs to talk more for his own sake. I really want to see him fight top competition now.

 

[FloydMayweatherMMA]

In all honesty, I only see him beating Vick and maybe Barboza, if he can get a lock on him. I'm discounting Pettis as he's moving to 170. He's talented for sure, but LW is a shark tank. Him vs Hooker is the fight to make imo.

 

[Mahkor]

Feed him to Khabib's weird ass cousin.

 

[Juan Bombadil]

I love sherdog’s reactionary threads, nothing like em

For real..

Imagine what he'd do to Conor.
Conor would be a lunatic to even consider fighting this lad.

 

[The Witcher]

How do you know he is tough as nails. He dry humps for a living

 

[Slatersan]

I hope they let him do the slow move up like he wants. In a year or two with more training and experience he can easily be champ.

He would wrestlefuck Nate Diaz like he owes him money.

He'd do fookin nuttin'.

Gregor has talent, but hasn't faced any paticularly good strikers yet. 155 Yancy is a decent win, but not anything to harp on about.

Nah. His next fight needs to be a top 10..

I think you nailed it. I would add Poirier in there, but if Gillespie keeps improving at this rate he will surpass Dustin too.

Disagree. It's a matter of opinion of course, but I think Nate is too tall and too experienced to get handled like that at this stage in Gregor's career. Gregor is a fantastic wrestler, but isn't as rounded as an RDA for example. Nate has the boxing and BJJ to win that fight imo.

Still on the delusional Kevin Lee bandwagon? Lol.

Cerrone, Khabib, Tony, Edson, Lee, Mcgregor, Iaquinta, Poirier...

IMO he wrestlefuks all those guys outside of Khabib. His wrestling is that good. He's also relentless like Khabib..

Time will tell, but one thing for sure he's going to be hard to beat..

 

[Ivancho]

He is predictable, elite wrestling yeah but how good is his striking? We dont know yet

 

[The_Renaissance]

He's awesome but lets hold the horses a bit. Lee, Khabib, Ferguson, Poirier, would all be really tough fights for him. I could even see Cowboy putting him away, Gregor is very aggressive and sometimes get a little reckless, Cerrone only needs one opening. However, Gillespie could well beat all of those guys too, possibly Khabib aside. But we'll see.
