Gregor Gillespie booked his next UFC fight in his home state.
Gillespie, who won a state wrestling title at Webster Schroeder High School, has been added to the UFC 210 fight card in Buffalo.
Gillespie, who trains at Bellmore Kickboxing Academy, will fight Andrew Holbrook in a lightweight bout as the UFC returns to Buffalo for the first time since 1995.
The 8-0 Gillespie won his UFC debut last September by decision over Glaico Franco. Holbrook (12-1) has won two of his last three fights.
