“There’s the Gregor Gillespie kid who looked real good,” Lee said. “He ain’t going to spend no time calling nobody out. I’m trying to get in touch with his people while he out in the woods. I was impressed with that last fight and that’s definitely a fight I’m looking at now. I would be giving him a shot and coming up. I’ve already put my offer out there I’m just waiting to hear back. The kid can fight. He’s undefeated. I really wasn’t too impressed with him, but that last fight versus Yancy, he did all right. I think I might go ahead and get that done, it’s just on him whether he want to have it or not.”

Kevin Lee sees Gregor Gillespie as viable fight after declining Darren Till at UFC London





Bring that shit on! Gillespie is steadily scaling the ranks (now at #11). With Kevin Lee occupying the #5 spot at LW, it would be a good chance for Gregor to take on a higher-level opponent and show whether he can remain dominant. I think he could frustrate Lee with his superior wrestling.

PLEAAAASE MAKE THIS SO! I respect Kevin Lee as an athlete and fighter, but he comes off like such a self entitled asshole. Gregor’s grappling and drive...no can defend. I will pay anything to see that humble pie served.

Not sure Gregor is ready for someone like Lee. Would definitely watch though.

I see that differently. Lee came out and announced that he turned the Till fight down because he wants to continue fighting at 155. Then he calls out one of the most dangerous up and comers in the division. Usually fighters in the top 10 don’t want to fight anyone outside the top 10. Kevin Lee is raising his hand and wants to take on the new guy that everyone is pretty high on right now.

He’s definitley not “ducking” anyone.

Yes he is. That's his only best option right now. He can't beat, and won't get a shot at the top guys. In his mind "there is no way this new guy is ready, and ill be back in title contention". He has publicly stated that one more loss, and he'd move up to WW.

Looks like him and Michael Johnson have agreed to fight, per their exchange on Twitter.

You speak with such certainty on things you couldn’t possibly know to be true.

Yeah the 155'er ducked the 185er who can't make 170 without nearly dying. Good post.

That’s exactly it....I don’t think there is a 155er who would fight Till without a stupid pay cheque.

Till’s a 185er...as 155er i’d rather fight wonderboy than fight Till.
