The returning Paddy Pimblett is geared up and ready to step into the cage with Tony Ferguson. He’s not here to make it easy for ‘El Cucuy’ though. It will be a big honor for him to go head-to-head with Ferguson, one of the biggest names in the lightweight division’s history.
After a year-long absence due to an ankle injury that required surgery, Pimblett is finally back to fight for his fifth successive win in the UFC’s lightweight division. His controversial bout with Jared Gordon was the talk of the town, but now he’s focused on taking down Ferguson and solidifying his comeback.
Speaking to reporters in Las Vegas, Pimblett expressed his respect for Ferguson but made it clear that he won’t be letting him have an easy victory. He wants to see Ferguson succeed but not at his expense.
Ferguson, on the other hand, has made it clear that he’s not here to take it easy on Pimblett. He’s going into the fight all guns blazing, looking to assert his dominance in the octagon.
It’s set to be a thrilling battle between two top contenders. Who will come out on top? Stay tuned as the action unfolds in UFC 296.
