Gregor Gillespie vs Brad Riddell Set for UFC Vegas 22: Brunson vs Holland

Gregor Gillespie (13-1, 6-1 UFC) hasn’t fought since losing to Kevin Lee at UFC 244 in November of 2019. The former Ring of Combat welterweight champ is a big talent – and he proved that by rattling off six straight wins to begin his UFC career. Already the owner of three performance bonuses and five finishes, Gillespie will be looking to remind everyone he’s far better than what we saw at UFC 244.

Brad Riddell (9-1, 3-0 UFC) has lined them up and knocked them down thus far in his UFC career. The City Kickboxing affiliate owns decision wins over a trio of quality opponents in Jamie Mullarkey, Magomed Mustafaev, and Alex da Silva – but Gillespie would top the list.

Gillespie vs Riddell was originally targeted for UFC 258, but nothing transpired. Thankfully for us viewers, the parties involved were able to make this one official because it’s a bonafide banger.
