An exciting lightweight bout between Diego Ferreira and Gregor Gillespie is in the works for the UFC event on May 8.

The news was first reported by ESPN. Ferreira is coming off a loss to Beneil Dariush, but it wasn’t complete dominance. However, Ferreira is now in the driver’s seat with a chance to get back in the win column with a win over a big name. Despite Gillespie coming off a loss, his wrestling pedigree is a challenge for any opponent in the cage.

Diego Ferreira Vs. Gregor Gillespie – Lightweight Clash In May

Gillespie’s last fight with Brad Riddell got canceled. However, many are excited to see how one of MMA’s top prospects responds to losing for the first time professionally. In particular, the American was knocked out by a brutal head kick by top lightweight Kevin Lee. Following the loss, the credentialed wrestler decided it was best to take some time off.

The 36-year old Ferreira always brings a furious pace to the octagon. With a win over former lightweight champion Anthony Pettis, it’s clear the Brazilian has a high ceiling in the sport.

Ultimately, Ferreira submitted the highly skilled grappler to the surprise of many fans and pundits.
