The returning Paddy Pimblett has stated that it will be among the larger honours of his profession to trade blows with Tony Ferguson– however he does not mean to offer ‘El Cucuy’ a simple trip.
The Liverpudlian battles at this weekend’s UFC 296 card for the very first time in a year following his questionable bout with Jared Gordon which fired up a media firestorm regarding the bout’s rightful victor and in which he sustained an ankle injury which would need surgical treatment sidelining him for nearly all of 2023.
Now fit when again, Pimblett will look for to score his 5th succeeding win in the UFC’s light-weight fold versus one of the greatest names in the department’s history, Tony Ferguson, the previous interim 155-pound champ who has more just recently had a six-fight skid of beats.
And while Pimblett states he wishes to see Ferguson have some success before he stops in his battle profession, he informed the media in Las Vegas on Wednesday that it definitely will not come versus him.
“It’s an honour to be able to eliminate Tony Ferguson,” Pimblett informed press reporters, consisting of The Mac Life.
