British UFC lightweight fighter Paddy Pimblett spoke out about American Tony Ferguson, with whom he fought on December 17 at UFC 296.
Recall, the fight went the full distance and ended with Pimblett winning by unanimous decision of the judges.
Everyone give a round of applause and cheer for Tony Ferguson, an absolute legend of the sport. How did he survive that first round? I blew my load trying to get him out of there. I’m still a bit dissatisfied that I didn’t get the finish but he is one of the toughest motherf****** to get in the cage.
