Indeed, Ferguson is on a 6 fight losing streak compared to Pimblett’s current 4 fight win streak so it does seem like a strange match-up.
O’Malley gave his thoughts, he said:
“Initial reaction, I’m like, ‘Goddamn, that’s a lose-lose for Paddy.”
“You go out there and beat Tony—who’s really good, but on a six-fight losing streak—so if you beat him, you’re not going to get credit for beating f****** Tony Ferguson. You’re going to get credit for beating a guy that’s like, you should beat him, but it’s a dangerous fight. It’s not that easy of a fight.
He continued: “It’s going to be a tough fight. Tony could 100 hundred percent win this fight. Now you’re coming off a loss to a guy—I mean, at least it’s still T-Ferg, but it’s like, is it T-Ferg?”
Will this be the end of Tony Ferguson’s glittering MMA career? Let us know in the comments.
