Former interim lightweight champion, Tony Ferguson has labelled critics of his apparent waning athleticism amid his recent losing skid as “eunics” – as the Oxnard veteran prepares for his return at UFC 296 this weekend against Paddy Pimblett.
Ferguson, a former interim lightweight titleholder, returns to the Octagon at UFC 296 this weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada, taking on Liverpool native, Pimblett in a main card clash on the final flagship event of the year for the promotion.
In the midst of a disappointing six-fight losing skid ahead of his fight with Pimblett, Ferguson, who previously held a record-setting 12-fight winning run in the division – has been sidelined since he dropped a third round arm-triangle submission loss to recent UFC Austin feature, Bobby Green back in July.
