Nice friendly call out.

 

[ExitLUPin]

That would be a terrific matchup if they grapple. Gregor/Ferreira and Islam/Arman were 2 of the best grappling fights in recent memory. Gregor is a weak striker tho so hopefully it doesn't turn into a mediocre kickboxing fight

 

[TempleoftheDog]

That’s actually a pretty cool call out. Funny but not disrespectful.

 

[ILIKEROCKHOLD]

Suddenly I realize I need this fight to happen.

 

[Eiger]

i dig it

 

[Sweater of AV]

Let them bang.

 

[Alexander_GOATanovski]

Anybody else think Tsarukyan has the most punchable face in MMA? I hope Gillespie starches him for team NATO.

 

[Eternalwarriorking]

This would be sick. Arman, I dare say, is also one of the smaller LWs, which could negate the cardio advantage that has let Gillespie really go ham with his wrestling chops thus far. Therefore, if their wrestling cancels out, I could see Arman touching him on the feet but I also don't want to rule out Gillespie digging deep, going zombie mode, and dominating like against CDF by just imposing his will. Hope they make it!

Now thats a fight right there.

Yeah I've got Arman by decision for those exact reasons.

That being said, I think maybe a 65% chance for Arman to win.

Can’t sleep on Gregor’s ability to grab something and take it home with him, even when tired and hurt.

Oh man, that'd be a great fight.
LW is honestly still the best division in the UFC.

Do they book Gregor with back to back grappling matchups?

Seems unlikely for a few reasons.

 

[Jonathan Utah]

As much as I love Arman, I think he should go down to 145.

 

[legedema]

great one , would love to see this fight

Well... Gregor also, just saying.

 

[jk7707]

This would go badly for Gregor. Tsarukyan is a great grappler. He held his own vs Makachev. Everyone knows how the striking would go.

 

[Luthien]

Make it happen Dana

 

[Spath]

Tsarykuan via left high kick KO.

I’d like to see them go at it, grappling would be a treat to watch! Arman is much more complete fighter and he went 3 rounds with Islam so I’d like to think he can handle Gillespie’s grappling as well.
