Media Gregor Gillespie is "Super Frustrated"; Won't fight below his rank

[Ackmed]

- Gregor's PISSED off
- complains that he finished CDF while Dariush got a split decision win over him and is now in a title eliminator against Islam
- says the UFC offered him many fights that don't "make sense" and he's not going to fight anyone ranked lower than him (I know Arman complained that Gregor refused to sign the contract so I guess now we know why)
- complains that "how can I move up the rankings if I don't get higher ranked fighters?"
- goes through the top 10 and says only him and Ferguson makes sense, because everyone else is booked and "Conor won't fight me because I have $70,000 and he has like $40 million" (lol)
- later adds that Chandler would make sense too
- "it was irritating the shit out of me" when trolls sent photoshopped fight announcement posters of him vs Ferguson after Ferguson refused the right
- says he's "super frustrated" at least half a dozen times




I think he should just fight whoever he can get and after enough wins he'll move up the rankings. That's what Islam did in 2021. Gregor's never been very active.

I like Gregor but if you get completely flatlined by a guy who got the boot for losing it doesnt look too good.

 

[IDGETKTFO]

Dude got flatlined in his last fight

holy crap, great minds think alike

 

[fortheo]

Did he forget that he's on a one fight win streak?

 

[SamuraiBro]

Dude got flatlined in his last fight

Except he didn’t. He submitted a guy who the current number 3 guy went to a split decision with.

 

[oldschoolmmafan]

Complains about not getting fights, straight after stating he's been turning downs fights...

 

[ElLunico]

Who has this dude beat that he thinks he can pick and choose his opponents?? Smh.. already a diva and not even on the radar for a title fight lol. Just retire bruh

 

[WHITEBELT JESUS]

Dude’s 35 in 2 months, and can barely get 2 fights a year. IMO he should get right back in there, get a decisive win, then call out a few guys ahead of him.

Gregor needs to stay active in his prime.

 

[StoneColdSteveAustin]

It’s amazing how many fighters in the UFC think they deserve title shots or should be ranked higher Than they are.

 

[IDGETKTFO]

Except he didn’t. He submitted a guy who the current number 3 guy went to a split decision with.

Well, As far as i am concerned, the only fight i recall him fighting last, he got flatlined. I honestly dont even remember who flatlined him. lol

 

[Pechan]

And people above him don't wanna fight below their Ranking either.

If he can't get the fights he want then take the ones available and put on a statement, dude already fight once every two years and now he wants to sit out until they offerd him a top 10?

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Tony ducked him? LOL

Should have fought Arman TBH. Arman does not have the ranking but has the hype.

But Gegor knows that Sambo beats wrestling so he does not wants that smoke,

 

[Ackmed]

Except he didn’t. He submitted a guy who the current number 3 guy went to a split decision with.

He's also only fought 3 times in the last 3 years and is 2-1 in those 3.

In the same timeframe the #3 guy has fought and won 6 in a row.

 

[TCE]

Why would someone ranked above him want to fight him as he's lower than them?

That's basically his mindset so why should someone above him fight him?

He should fight anyone at this point. He hardly fights.

 

[fortheo]

Except he didn’t. He submitted a guy who the current number 3 guy went to a split decision with.

So he beat a guy that Dariush beat twice before him and expects the same rewards for picking up the leftovers?

And people above him don't wanna fight below their Ranking either.

If he can't get the fights he want then take the ones available and put on a statement, dude already fight once every two years and now he wants to sit out until they offerd him a top 10?

LW has been the diva division since 2016.

 

[thebesteva21]

It must be nice to only fight guys ranked higher then you, especially looking at the lions row of LWs behind you. I wouldn’t wait too long or you’ll be the one begging to fight them

Just 8 months ago Khabib campaigned for Gregor vs Islam to fight (this was just before Islam vs Moises got booked):



In this interview the same month Gregor said he'd fight Islam "down the road" when he's ranked higher...but now he's complaining smh

[M.U.S.C.L.E.]

He's caught up in MMA math and rankings. Must be a sherdogger.
Hey Gregor, you old fart, why don't you go out and fight as often as you can and put together a win streak that no one can ignore?

Islam Islam ISLAM.

Knew it was gonna be about this before I opened the thread. Maybe Gregor can move up to #5 rank by beating ONE ranked opponent on 2 weeks notice.
