News Gregor Gillespie calls out Paul Felder

[bolly32]

Better than the Pettis call out at least. I can't imagine Felder wanting Gregor or Islam who also called him out over the weekend, he'll be waiting on the Cerrone/Gaethje result most likely.

Thankfully, that leaves these two prospects waiting for a fight...

 

[DariusTheGreat]

lol poor Felder getting called out by Islam and now Gregor. I can't imagine him taking or winning either fight

 

[SimonNova]

Agreed ts, better than the Pettis call out.

Lets do this!



Pettis wants to fight Diego anyway.

 

[Mondo Freaks]

Sounds good. Make it happen Dana

 

[Herwald]

Would love to see him vs Islam or Oliveira. Not strikers like Felder or Pettis.

 

[Drugstore Cowboy]

30-27 Gregor

 

[Zebra Cheeks]

Considering I don’t feel he really won that fight I don’t think he deserves top 5 opponents, all of which seem to have a significant skill gap to the Reston of the division. I think this would be a decent match up. Better than Islam match up for Felder for sure.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Nice, I like it. That would be a good test for Gregor, as Felder is a solid fighter and very experienced. Book it!

 

[AssassinFacedBaby]

Big step up for Gregor, I think Paul takes it though.

 

[wufabufa]

I don't see Gregor being able to sub or TKO him. It's gotta be constant pressure, spamming takedowns, and overall outworking Felder in order to get the decision. Should be interesting to see if the size difference really influences the flow of the fight.

 

[LeBron]

Why doesn’t he call out Islam? Gillespie is the guy that’s supposed to wreck Khabib, right? Lmao

 

[Sakurabaism]

He's learning

 

[executionermma]

rather go with this:
Felder vs. winner of Iaquinta-Hooker (UFC 243)
Gillespie vs. Islam Makhachev or Charles Oliveira

Gillespie vs. Makhachev would be great to see how a elite D1 wrestler stacks up against a Dagestani with a legit sambo/wrestling background

 

[Joseph_McBride]

Felder had some big cuts & bruises I doubt he fights again until JAN/FEB At the earliest.

Gillespie is a fine prospect but why is he ranked so high? Has he beaten a top 30 155er yet? Top 40?? 50???

 

[Leonard Haid]

Paul Felder is now the new High-Ranked-Guy-That-Everybody-Thinks-They-Can-Beat.

 

[TriangleMonkey]

Now thats a good callout, not sure that fight will happen next for either of them but good test for Gregor, glad to see he’s reaching out to names at least.

 

[Iron Skin]

Interesting fight, Felder is strong af, can give problems to Gillespie on the ground, like when he destroyed Charles Oliveira.

He's calling out guys ranked AHEAD of him, not behind him.

Personally I don't give a shit about rankings really, but some people seem to think they matter so it seems like Gregor is looking to climb the ladder.

 

[Grapplefest]

He's scared of Islam, Islam would destroy him.

You mean to tell me Yancy Medeiros isn't a world beater? I'm friggin flabbergasted.
