Ahead of his incoming UFC Austin co-main event fight next weekend against Dan Hooker, Bobby Green – a past foe of former interim lightweight champion, Tony Ferguson, is picking the Oxnard vetera to beat the returning Paddy Pimblett at UFC 296 next month, snapping his six-fight losing skid.
Ferguson, a former interim lightweight champion, most recently featured on the main card of UFC 291 back in July in Salt Lake City, suffering a late third round arm-triangle submission loss to the above-mentioned, Green.
The defeat came as the former interim titleholder’s sixth consecutively under the banner of the promotion, with his disappointing losing skid dating back to a second interim title fight loss to Justin Gaethje back in 2020.
