News Gregor Gillespie returns vs Brad Riddell on March 20th

[FIGHTING TALK]

Surely Gillespie is no longer ranked.
How long is it since his last W?

 

[Joinho10]

You suggested it be Fiziev in stead of riddell, despite the fact that fiziev lost in the UFC to a guy Riddell beat, so how is Fiziev more deserving?

His 3 fight win streak with the Ko of Moicano is more impressive than anything Riddell has done yet in the UFC.

 

[D 1 Wrestler]

Ugh why Brad Riddell tho? Most boring fighter ever. Would much rather watch Rafael Fiziev vs Gregor Gillespie.

You mean Matt? Wtf

 

[Hoist The Flag]

Gregor is much better than people realize. Lee was just a terrible match up for him, and he caught him with a 1 out of a million type shot that would lay out anyone. Where he can wrestle more, he will be very successful. He is a very smart guy and no doubt has worked on his game alot. I expect he could beat many in the top ten right now and is probably the only guy at LW that could hang with Khabib's grappling.

Make him sleep with the fishes again.

It hurt me when he was killed. Hopefully he comes back with a win. Any hopes of title contendership isn't really a thing with him anymore. He barely fought even before the death.

If Riddell had more KO power, he'd be a very live dog in this fight. However, he doesn't, and I can see Gillespie submitting him in the 2nd round.

Yeah. I don't see Riddell winning a point fighting match/decision. That would involve going 15 minutes without Gregor's excellent wrestling being a factor, and I don't see Riddell being able to shut the wrestling down enough for that to happen. I think Riddell needs to catch him with something big here.

 

[Iron Nick]

He's still the best wrestler in the division

Did Tsarukyan and Makhachev leave 155?

 

[Ares Black]

I'm a big fan of Riddell, but I am worried about this fight.

 

[Kono dio da!]

Why is he always matched up with strikers? Why wasn't thiz Hernández gillespie? Or islam gillespie instead if islam dober? Lightweight be on some bullshit. We know how this will end.

 

[kalabula]

He stopped that “Top 10” talk real quick...

He looked real good leading up to this. LW needs some good wrestlers to give Islam a challenge. J hope he can put some wind together.
