Former interim lightweight champion, Tony Ferguson has urged fans and supporters to “keep the faith” after last night’s one-sided unanimous decision loss to Paddy Pimblett at UFC 296 last night, despite calls from promotional CEO, Dana White for the Oxnard veteran to retire from active competition.
Ferguson, a former interim lightweight champion and perennial division contender, featured on the main card of UFC 296 last night in Las Vegas, suffering his seventh consecutive loss in the form of a lopsided decision defeat to Liverpool native, Pimblett.
The defeat came as Ferguson’s second since the summer, having previously dropped an eventual third round arm-triangle submission loss to Bobby Green back in July at UFC 291 in a lightweight scrap.
