Robert Whittaker cautious of Tony Ferguson going up against Paddy Pimblett at UFC 296

Paddy Pimblett is set to take on UFC veteran and former interim champ Tony Ferguson at UFC 296.

Paddy Pimblett is undefeated in the UFC across four fights and has a six-fight win streak. On the other hand, Tony Ferguson is on a career-threatening skid that has seen him lose six straight fights. UFC middleweight Robert Whittaker weighed in on the fight and Ferguson's current decline on the MMArcade Podcast.

"I think me and a lot of other UFC fans, especially fans of Tony Ferguson, I’m a fan. We thought his last fight was his last fight. Like, that’s what it looked like. It’s not like he’s been on an incline or he’s been just getting beaten or he’s having tight fights but losing just somehow. It hasn’t been that way and honestly, the Tony Ferguson I saw last time in the octagon was just one that doesn’t look like he has it anymore."

Robert Whittaker added that he was hoping to be surprised and proved wrong by 'El Cucuy'.

"And don’t get me wrong, I want to be wrong. I told you, I’m a fan. I want to be wrong. I want to see him come back into this fight with Paddy, put on a clinical performance and move from there. But for a few fights now, we haven’t seen the same Tony, we haven’t. I don’t know what changed but we don’t see that same Ferguson that was an absolute nightmare in the division."
