Tony Ferguson vs Paddy Pimblett confirmed for 296

[Schnitzl]

Dayum, outta nowhere Dana drops this on us. Who you got?

[nikeoneplatinum]

Pimblett wins.

[Gainzzz]

Brootal way to go out for Tony. Losing to a loud mouthed delusional chitter who he would've ragdolled and destroyed 10/10 times just a few years ago. 7 in a row will probably be Dana's limit. I just hope for Tony's sake he doesn't end up in BKB or something.

[Tuga88]

Great, another night we get to watch Tony look old as fuk and get the chit beaten out of him.

Seems like a pretty fair match up lmao.

Feel bad for Ferguson. I actually met him in the SLC airport after his last fight.

[Barteh]

Tony going for that BJ Penn record. Sad.

Yeah, imagine your last two fights are TKO'ing Anthony Pettis and Cowboy, then running into Gathje, Olives, Beneil and Chandler back to back to back to back.

There's still a small hope in me saying Pimblett gets tired from the pressure and Tony finishes him round 3 TKO.

[achtungpanzer]

I wouldn't mind seeing Paddy all bloodied up from a vintage Tony

[Cartiac]

Oh no, does anyone really want to see this? After listening to Tony's last press conference it sounds a little too much to expect him to win a fight against Paddy this early in his career as he is just getting started considering everything else he has going on as well like tracking bears with his pocket knife, attending Harvard business school, owning a manufacturing company, managing his 401k, keeping up his influence with all these universities, and a bunch of other stuff I'm not smart enough to understand.

But at least I'm pretty sure Tony taking another KO at this point in his life really doesn't matter since he doesn't even realize turning your chair backwards hasn't been cool since the Breakfast Club in 1985.

should've retired after getting beaten bloody against gaethje

The MMA community are up in arms about this fight. Why? I have Tony winning pretty easily srs. Y'all need to rewatch Pudgey's fights and see how quickly he gasses out and leaves his massive chin sticking out ready to get cleaned. He's a dogchit fighter and has only fought cans up until his last fight which he lost but 'won' thanks to corrupt judging.

Honestly i can see Tony winning because this will be his weakest opponent. but I can also see Tony getting grappled for all rounds. Both guys tend block fists with their face

[skinnyfat88]

If you're going to let Tony keep fighting, this fight makes sense.

Hyped prospect who has shown weaknesses and shouldn't run him over the way the top 10-15 likely would.

I wouldn't see the point of Tony fighting guys w/o much name value at this point.

[akmerle]

Tony has looked progressively more old and less dangerous every match since Justin broke him. He will be only a couple months away from being 40 years old for this fight, which is beyond ancient for LW. Paddy has the advantage in nearly every metric. Standing, grounded, feet, hands, grappling, etc. One could argue Tony has better cardio, but that won’t mean much in a 3-round fight, especially if he can’t impose himself anymore to push the pace. Sorry, I just don’t see a way this current form of Tony wins beyond some fluke (which this is MMA, so anything could happen).

He still has the heart and fighting spirit, no doubt. But his body and mind simply aren’t there anymore, and it’s sad to see such a shell of him out there. It really is like BJ at this point.

[taskmob]

I don't see how Tony loses this. I see him grinding out a unanimous decision. Paddy just isn't good and is nowhere near a top 15 fighter.

[stayhomeneet]

Tony looks really ****ing old in the face, but honestly I give him a good chance in this one.

I rate pimblett that low, if pimblett wins in very impressive fashion I'll actually give him credit but I don't expect him to.

I met Tony in SLC after Porier vs Gaethje 2 at the airport. He's a fan favorite but I hope he retires after this one win or lose.

Pretty sure there is an article out there about from a few years ago about Tony's mental issues. I remember hearing his wife woke up in the middle of the night hearing Tony call her a witch. And he also ran off with there baby and some other crazy chit. Wouldn't surprise me if the dude does a full Chris Jericho

His soul did retire, but his body keeps going in.

[CanardMedic]

He looked good during hte 1st round VS Bobby green. IT went down south really quick after that.
The dude still has no defense, keeps getting tagged non stop, is slow and is sad to see him fight now.
he's going to get tkoed

Same thing in the Chandler fight

[Dave22reborn]

UFC always does this, sacrificing their "legends" to an up and coming fighter.

[iwant2beswole]

Tony deserves the W and a walkoff to retirement. I feel like he’s a dumbass financially though and will keep fighting for a paycheck until he gets cut.

Also have a feeling Tony will be coming in messed up a little training with goggins lmao.

Paddy is overrated but Tony is washed. Both have good ground game. Should turn out for a good matchup.

[Tuga88]

I didn't realise Tony was so dumb.

Why did he go and train with Goggins before his fight?

His issue was never cardio or mental endurance/willpower, which is the main chit you'd get from Goggins.

[stayhomeneet]

Well I said I'd give pimblett credit if he won well, and he did that so well done, still don't see him going too much further but maybe he's got a bit more potential than I thought

[Tuga88]

Prime Tony would have smoked Paddy tonight. I know we keep saying it....but when will this guy retire ffs.

[HairyWBush]

i don't see it.
