Sean O'Malley, UFC bantamweight champion, explained why the fight against Tony Ferguson in any case a losing proposition for Paddy Pimblett.
“You go out and fight Tony Ferguson, who’s really good, but who’s lost his last six fights. If you beat him, you won't get the respect for beating Tony Ferguson. But this is a dangerous fight, not an easy one. Tony can 100% win. And if you lose to this Ferguson, then what? I don't know".
Let us remind you that the confrontation between Pimblett and Ferguson will take place on December 16 as part of UFC 296.
