Gregor Gillespie vs. Yancy Medeiros set for UFC on ESPN+ 1 in Brooklyn
The UFC’s return to Brooklyn next month continues to build with the addition of a lightweight fight.
New Yorker Gregor Gillespie (12-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) will put his unbeaten record on the line against Yancy Medeiros (15-5 MMA, 6-5 UFC) at UFC on ESPN+ 1. Newsday first reported the booking, which has not yet been formally announced by the UFC.
UFC on ESPN+ 1 takes place Jan. 19 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. The main card airs on ESPN+ following prelims on ESPN and ESPN+.
Gillespie started his career 7-0, all for the New Jersey-based Ring of Combat, where he was lightweight champion. He came to the UFC in 2016 and has five straight wins, including three bonuses. In June, he choked out Vinc Pichel with an arm-triangle in Utica, N.Y., to win of those extra $50,000 checks.
Medeiros will be looking to rebound after a TKO loss to Donald Cerrone in February in the UFC Fight Night 126 main event in Austin, Texas. Prior to that, he had three straight stoppage wins over Alex Oliveira, Erick Silva and Sean Spencer, two of which were bonus winners. Medeiros will be back at lightweight after four fights at welterweight.
