UFC Utica: Rivera vs Moraes

A solid card on FS1 this weekend looms ahead:
We get a clash of contenders with WSOF import Moraes facing Rivera who has been knocking at the top of the upper echelon of the division.
We also get the next fight in the building career of Gregor Gillespie who has looked like a contender in each of his UFC appearances thus far. I'm super excited about this main event and co-main event. I have little doubt that Moraes plans to take Rivera to deeper waters and hope that Rivera's power and dynamism fades by the end of the 3rd round and then falters later in the game.

Gillespie has impressed in various capacities in his fights up until now. Whether it's transitions following takedowns, durability trading punches, and just overall work rate.....Pichel is just the guy to bring out the best in Gillespie as we see how his game has evolved from his last outing.
