Once considered a legitimate contender at the lightweight limit, New York native, Gregor Gillespie appears to be weighing-up a potential return to the Octagon – snapping a lengthy hiatus from combat sports.
Gillespie, who boasts an impressive 14-1 professional record, returned to the Octagon at UFC Vegas 26 back in May 2021, landing an eventual second round TKO win over Brazilian veteran, Diego Ferreira.
That outing came as Gillespie’s first in two years to boot, having dropped his first and only professional mixed martial arts defeat in a stunning, highlight-reel high kick KO loss to former interim lightweight title challenger, Kevin Lee at UFC 244 in November 2019.
