Diego Ferreira: ‘My jiu-jitsu is way better than’ Gregor Gillespie’s

Diego Ferreira and Gregor Gillespie had long winning streaks snapped in their most recent octagon appearances, but only one will rebound at UFC Vegas 26, a Fight Night card scheduled for May 8 at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas.

The Brazilian lightweight, who lost a split decision rematch to Beneil Dariush in February, admits he expects Gillespie to return a better fighter after losing in devastating fashion to Kevin Lee in November 2019, his first setback in 14 MMA bouts.

“I expect him [to change] because I have,” Ferreira in an interview with MMA Fighting.
