Gregor Gillespie"Gillespie was relentless in his search for the takedown, getting it about a minute in," according to BloodyElbow.com. "Rinaldi was able to avoid the submission, so Gillespie began pounding him out. Rinaldi could only take so much before the referee intervened."
MMAJunke.com reported, "With 75 seconds left, Rinaldi tried to get back to his feet, but Gillespie kept him pressured on the fence draped over his back," according to MMAJunkie.com. "Gillespie started pounding, then flattened Rinaldi out. But Rinaldi had no real defense. Gillespie pounded away while Rinaldi covered up, and got the stoppage before the horn."
Gillespie, who was a two-time New York state wrestling champ and four-time NCAA All-American at Pennsylvania's Edinboro (winning the 149-pound crown at the 2007 NCAA championships), improves to 11-0 in his pro MMA career which he launched four years ago this month, and 4-0 in UFC competition, while Rinaldi drops to 13-6 overall, and 1-2 in UFC.
