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

[LincolnHawk1]

Tony is still a name and a fomer IC, this is a tune up fight for Paddy and a way to stack his resume, disgusting matchmaker.

Couldn’t agree more. This is more about the ufc putting paddy over with a win against LW legend. It’s pretty gross in reality. Tony should be retired but if he is refusing to retire he should be fighting guys like Lauzon or Jim Miller.

I thought MMA fans didn't want UFC guys getting easy fights like in boxing?

more even match =/= easy fight

Tony is the easy fight in the one vs Paddy.

Paddy sucks.

Which only goes to show how far Tony has fallen.

They're both top 30. Maybe. There's nothing wrong with this fight.

[Willek]

Please for the love of God win this fight Tony Ferguson.

 

[dre quinn]

Most people don’t realize it’s a step up of competition for pimblett and test for Tony.

 

[CatsAndPot]

Tony will find a way to lose

 

[Kyd Blake]

UFC peaked with Tito vs Ken

Nah. UFC peaked with Zombie VS Poirier in 2012. It's been all downhill from there.

 

[Chok Sok Te]

Voted with my heart, war Tony!

 

[SharpasaRazor]

I don't like the fight but what is Paddy a contender for?

Yeh my point was he is not a contender but that’s what he and ufc want to claim he is.

He’s not supposed to be a Bobby Green level journeyman, ofc we all know he probably wouldn’t beat Green but it’s what they’re selling.

 

[FreedomCricket]

So even if Paddy beats Tony. That's a big if, because Tony can take a beating, so it would likely be a split decision win again.

But if Paddy wins, how does he survive a step up from a washed Tony?

Who in the top 10 or 15 does he have a chance against? Maybe Turner...

 

[ComfortablyNumb55]

There's no way 152 people actually believe Tony is going to win.

I'm not joking when I say this...

There are men on this message board that could beat Tony now.

And I love Tony.

 

[HaulParris]

Ridiculous match-up
