A lightweight showdown pitting Diego Ferreira against Gregor Gillespie has been added to the UFC on ESPN 24.
ESPN was first to report the booking. UFC on ESPN 24 takes place on May 8 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and is headlined by a bantamweight tilt between Cory Sandhagen and T.J. Dillashaw.
Ferreira had a six-bout winning streak snapped in a split-decision loss to Beneil Dariush at UFC Fight Night 184 on Feb. 6. The former Legacy Fighting Championship title holder is 8-3 in UFC competition with notable wins over the likes of Anthony Pettis, Mairbek Taisumov, Rustam Khabilov and Ramsey Nijem.
