It was previously announced that this fight will take place on December 16 at UFC 296 in Las Vegas.
“Pimblett will be beaten by Ferguson. Tony is a tough opponent for anyone, he has only fought real killers. He was second only to the best of the best. He spent almost his entire career in the top ten rankings.
You can see when a guy's time has passed, but you're comparing him to someone whose time hasn't even begun. Tony only recently dropped out of the top 10, and Pimblett was never there. He wasn’t even close to that,” Sonnen said on his podcast.
