UFC TARGETING KEVIN LEE VS. GREGOR GILLESPIE

The UFC is thinking about reserving an intriguing lightweight connection between top-15 wrestlers. My ideas on that brand new matchup and a few new spells added to Nashville in today’s MMA odds and ends.
Kevin Lee vs. Gregor Gillespie, May UFC Event
The UFC is targeting a lightweight bout between Kevin Lee and Gregor Gillespie to headline a yet-to-be-announced event in May, according to ESPN’s Ariel Helwani. The battle isn’t finalized yet but is likely to be made soon. Lee (17-4) is 10-4 at the UFC and in his final fight lost a five-round decision to Al Iaquinta. Before the Iaquinta loss, Lee had put on a beatdown on Edson Barboza and despite a entry loss to Tony Ferguson before that, he remains one of the top lightweights in the sport now. Gillespie (13-0) is a perfect 6-0 in the UFC and in his final fight picked up a TKO win over Yancy Medeiros. Lee is among those top-ranked lightweights in the UFC and is actually the younger fighter in this matchup, but I truly believe in Gillespie and believe he has the potential to be a champion in this game. It’s going to be a hard-fought fight, but one I think Gillespie can triumph. I am curious to see what the betting line will be for this one, however when Gillespie is a puppy there would definitely be worth betting on him at plus money.
Chris Gruetzemacher vs. Jesus Pinedo, UFC Fight Night 148
A fun lightweight bout between Chris Gruetzemacher and Jesus Pinedo will happen at UFC Fight Night 148, set for March 23 at Bridgestone Arena at Nashville, Tennessee. Gruetzemacher (12-4) is 2-2 in the UFC and is coming off of a brutal TKO win over Joe Lauzon. Pinedo (16-4-1) is riding a seven-fight win streak and defeated Devin Powell by conclusion within his UFC debut. Pinedo is a really nice potential but Gruetzemacher has significantly more experience against a high level of competition and predicated on the win over Lauzon he has to be slightly favored here.
Eric Shelton vs. Jordan Espinosa, UFC Fight Night 148
An uncommon flyweight bout between Eric Shelton and also Jordan Espinosa is set for UFC Fight Night 148. Shelton (12-5) is 2-3 at the UFC and is coming off of a split decision win over Joseph Morales. Espinosa (13-5, 1 NC) is riding a four-fight win series including a knockout win in Dana White’s Contender Series past summer. Shelton hasn’t been anything special from the UFC while Espinosa looks like he has some solid potential. I’d expect a snug line here, with a slight lean to the dynamic Espinosa.
Chris Gutierrez vs. Ryan MacDonald, UFC Fight Night 148
Also at UFC Fight Night 148, bantamweight Chris Gutierrez will meet short-notice replacement Ryan MacDonald. Gutierrez (12-4-1) is coming from a submission loss to Raoni Barcelos in his UFC debut but had won three straight fights before that. MacDonald (10-0) is an undefeated prospect who is coming off of a submission win in LFA. He’s carrying the fight on short notice to get an injured Martin Day. This should be a competitive fight but despite the short notice, the fact that MacDonald hasn’t lost may make him a little betting popular at open here.
