Paddy Pimblett resonates with Tony Ferguson fans’ feelings in a recent interview

Tony Ferguson is one of the most accomplished MMA fighters of all time. He became the first man to amass a double-digit winning streak in the lightweight division and went on an epic 12-fight unbeaten run and captured an interim lightweight title in the process.

The loss to Justin Gaethje changed the course of ‘El Cucuy’s’ career. He has lost six fights in a row and calls for his retirement are getting stronger, given his recent performances in the octagon.

Ferguson is a fan-favorite fighter. His supporters are concerned for him as he goes up against a much younger Paddy Pimblett in his next fight. In a recent interview with TNT Sports, Pimblett expressed similar thoughts on the 39-year-old fighter:

“I really respect Tony Ferguson, lad. He’s one of the top five lightweights of all time. Even I want Tony Ferguson to get a win and retire. Just can’t let him do that at my expense, lad.”
