A new lightweight fight has been booked as Diego Ferreira and Gregor Gillespie have agreed to meet at the upcoming UFC card on May 8.
Multiple sources confirmed the matchup to MMA Fighting on Tuesday. ESPN initially reported the contest.
Gillespie returns to action in May after he was originally booked for a fight against Brad Riddell back in March. That matchup was scrapped on fight day after the Australian lightweight was forced out due to COVID-19 protocols.
That left Gillespie without an opponent, but now he’ll return in May as the former NCAA Division-I wrestling champion looks to return to the win column following a loss to Kevin Lee in his most recent appearance in November 2019.
