That is an awesome fight. I have no idea who wins, but I look forward to finding out.

That is an awesome fight. I have no idea who wins, but I look forward to finding out.

I was going over their records and opponents and tho I leaned to Ferreira I do so only slightly. Least at first pass.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Oh this is going to be fun as fuck for fans of grappling.

 

[Fesaine]

50/50 fight for me

Gregor bjj isn't near as good as dariush but he has far better wrestling and infinite cardio.

But I would say that the chance of Gregor taking and holding CDF down is higher than the chance of CDF submitting Gillespie from the bottom.

 

[FanofC]

Gillespie by whatever he wants

 

[Rorschachxx]

Very solid matchmaking here.

 

[Osiris3657]

Good for Gillespie. Getting matched up with Riddell was kinda BS anyway.

Shaping up to be a very solid fight night card.

Dillashaw vs. Sandhagen
Sanchez vs. Cerrone
Neal vs. Magny
Ferreira vs. Gillespie

Plus hot prospect Ludovit Klein on the card vs. Mike Trizano.

 

[Luckyme]

Good matchup. Both are getting up there in age though.

I'd pick CDF as Gillespie has been pretty inactive and CDF has the better submissions.

 

[Prologue]

CDF buddeh! LET'S GO!!!

 

[legedema]

shit fight , I like both of them and one of them will fall

 

[DoctorDeelon]

I think it's Gregor. But maybe Diego.

 

[mmadeewana]

I think Gregor gets revered by Diego

 

[Goodfella86]

Damn. That's a good fight. Gregor needs to ride him instead of trying to arm-triangle him.

CDF via tko

 

[Huligani]

Hell yes. Ferreira by submission I think.

 

[Iron Skin]

CDF subs Gillespie

 

[Maaj19]

Ooooooo damn what a fight.

CDF can hurt Gregor on the feet and has the bjj to be a true threat, I think he takes this.

 

[Johnnny]

Tough fight for Gregor. He went from having been scheduled to fight a borderline Top 25 lightweight in Riddell to getting a Top 10 opponent.

Man the UFC loves killing off prospects huh? Terrible match making
