News Paddy Pimblett vs Tony Ferguson set for UFC 296 on Dec 16

[Arcticman]

Pathetic fight, they know paddys stock has dropped hard so they feed him the washed corpse of tony to beat and brag about. It was always going to be paddy or mctapper who got fed tony.

~CSO~

LFGOOOOOOO.

 

[FrankDux]

Tony is going to turn paddy's face into meatloaf.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Yeah, for sure, let them enjoy what they think is a high level bout I guess (but still laugh at them)...

It's a slight shame, because I think if Paddy had taken this fight prior to the Gordon one where he looked like shit, he'd have probably won and got way more credit for it than he'll get now.

I just think they're pulling the trigger too late, and it's kinda obvious how low the confidence must be in Paddy if they're actually giving him this fight. It puts him below Bobby Green in their estimations.

But yeah, you make a fine point Sherbro - the crowd will probably love/overvalue this fight, and that's what the entertainment in sports-entertainment is all about!

I have zero hopes for Paddy and really have desire to see him test top 15. He's a niche entertainer and probably a safer fight for ferg. I mean if Ferg wants to keep going his fans should be happy he's getting this fight over a legit killer looking to make a name

 

[Buckland]

I'll watch it.

 

[Ares Black]

Tony is going to turn paddy's face into meatloaf.

I wish I shared your optimism.

 

[Gamer2k4]

Can you imagine if Tony wrecked him? It would be like when they brought in Alex Hernandez to make a name off of Cerrone, and Cerrone ended up knocking him out in the second round.

Tony is going to turn paddy's face into meatloaf.

Probably. And then Tony's going to get finished like usual.

 

[d0g]

Tony should only be facing guys like Dan Hooker at this point.

 

[JonnyBonesPharmacist]

I got Tony. Any takers?

 

[Jon!]

Very good point.

Most dudes wreck Ferg and scramble that brain.

Paddy is most definitely not that dude.

 

[Klippy]

Why do they keep giving Tony fights?

 

[Volumes]

Lol what the fuck

[Deadwing88]

If you needed more evidence they are actively protecting pimblett from being starched by a competent top 15.

Here you go.

 

[Shaolin Alan]

Jake Paul level matchmaking

 

[Huligani]

Why do they keep giving Tony fights?

He's the new Diego Sanchez (not in popularity though)

 

[LoneLynx]

Tony destroys him LFG

 

[checktheknuckles]

Title shot with win over Ferg.
