Following his highest profile win to date, rising lightweight contender Gregor Gillespie had his bags stolen from the Barclays Center.

Gillespie defeated Yancy Medeiros in the second round of their feature main card bout, but then, things got weird for “The Gift.”

Gillespie and his coach had their bag’s stolen from backstage at the Barclays Center, he revealed later on Instagram. Being the nice guy that he is, Gillespie told the would-be thief that he can keep all the memorabilia, just please return his wallet and his mouth guards.

“To who ever it is who stole mine and one of my coaches fight bags at the Barclays center tonight. Could you please just return my wallet and my mouth guards? If you stole the bag for memorabila, that’s cool you can keep that if you want, but id really like my wallet and mouth guards back. I REALLLLLY don’t want to go to the DMV – Gregor Gillespie”

“The Gift” improved his unbeaten record to 13-0 with his win over Medeiros.

Highlights: Gregor Gillespie Stays Unbeaten With Flawless Submission

Watch Gregor Gillespie stay unbeaten with another dominant finish:

The post Highlights: Gregor Gillespie Stays Unbeaten With Flawless Submission appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.

Hyped lightweight prospect Gregor Gillespie was looking to secure five straight wins in the UFC when he met Vinc Pichel in the co-main event of last night’s (Fri., June 1, 2018) UFC Fight Night 131 from the Adirondack Bank Center in Utica, New York.

He did so in one-sided fashion, using his dominant, smothering wrestling game to consistently ground Pichel and control him on the mat using seamless transitions from one advantageous position to another.

Gillespie was never in anything resembling danger, and his relentless takedown game coupled with a developing striking attack makes the 31-year-old one of the deeply talented lightweight division’s fastest-rising prospects. He wouldn’t call anyone out after the win, instead looking to take a few days off to go fishing, but a big step up in competition – and possibly a debut on the top 15 ranks – will likely await ‘The Gift’ next week.

For now, watch his fourth straight finish in the UFC right here:
