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

[kuf]

If you keep in mind that Tony with his personality would most certainly continue fighting even if it was under BumFuckNowhere FC for 15 bucks and a pickle jar, then you can actually see the silver lining in him at least fighting in the "premier" circus of MMA for.... 15k bucks and a pickle jar.

 

[No Mas]

Fuck yeah, make him tie that BJ record. Then one more to one up him and complete a record that shall stand for decades.

 

[luckyshot]

God, I know I've done a lot of fucked up things, but I'd just like to say... please let Tony win... or you ain't seen nothing yet.

 

[Fight Professor]

It is a weird fight for Paddy. Even if he was impressively, everyone is going to say that Tony is completely shot.

This…

 

[DEV.Woulf]

Holy shit this is real? I just saw it on Twitter and though it was a joke! I just can't process this atrocity. We're really gonna see Paddy dancing over legend Tony's corpse, huh?

 

[CC27]

thats a good one and perfect next step for paddy. Tony can win this, yeah he's not old Tony he once was but paddy aint a top LW either. thats why its actually an interesting fight.

 

[Espresso]

Look at Tony massacre his boy
Dana like

 

[Deezer]

I can't get my head around the furore about this fight it's a great match up. Tony still more than capable of beating paddy. Paddy gets a chance against a name, shot or not, and it will sell. Great matchup

*closer to the rankings

Ferguson lost to a Jake Paul sacrifice, then got tapped by a one dimensional veteran who is nowhere near the rankings.

There is no way Paddy is ranked after this fight.

I'd love to believe in the UFC as much as you do, but their sillines is so openly blatant now, I really would not put it past them to have the guy ranked with a win.

He def. does not deserve it either way.

 

[X Factor]

I hate this fight

 

[Fatback96]

Saw this coming. Knew Tony was gonna pad either Conor’s resume or Paddy’s.

 

[sdpdude9]

I don’t think much of Paddy but I think even less of current Tony. Unfortunately, see this going poorly for Ferguson.

 

[beater81]

Fergie got this! I BELIEVE!

 

[hahahayeah]

this says everything about what the ufc thinks of paddy. they must really believe he's going places to match him up with someone who's lost (approx.) between 6- 9 in a row. I can't quite remember the exact number.

 

[SuperAlly]

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

Weird take

 

[TommyGunz]

Tony looked so off and slow his last fight. This won’t end well

 

[HHJ]

I think even the ghost of Ferg beats Paddy.
