In round 2 Pimblett controlled the MMA legend on the ground.
The last round started with Pimblett looking extremely gassed and in his post-fight interview he admitted he ‘blew his load’ but he ultimately controlled Ferguson again for the majority of the round.
Pimblett got a unanimous decision victory 30-27 on all judges scorecards.
