10 Incredible UFC Fights That You Must Watch In November
2. Kevin Lee Vs. Gregor Gillespie - UFC 244
Although the casual MMA fans might not care for a match between two fighters with strong wrestling backgrounds, they should be keeping an eye on this very exciting battle as the winner could be catapulted into title contendership.
Kevin Lee has been on the precipice of being given a title shot for a number of years now and it's clear to see why. As a strong wrestler with an evolving striking skillset, Lee has been earmarked as someone to look out for a long time. Wins against Michael Chiesa, Edson Barboza and Francisco Trinaldo made him look an unstoppable force at 155lb. However, his recent form has been below par and he'll really need to show that he's ready to fulfil his potential.
However, getting back to winning ways will be extremely difficult as he's got undefeated lightweight talent, Gregor Gillespie, standing across from him in the Octagon. The New Yorker has quietly torn apart the UFC's 155lb division, using his relentless wrestling to take opponents down and bludgeon them with crushing ground and pound. However, this is definitely the toughest test of his career. Will he be able to keep his record clean or will he suffer his first ever loss?
