The Baddy' has not fought since December 2022 after suffering a serious ankle injury in his victory over Jared Gordon. Gordon suffered a controversial decision defeat against Pimblett last December The 28-year-old was riding a four-fight UFC win streak but was forced to go under the knife in a move that curtailed his plans for 2023. The Liverpudlian will now get the chance to finish this year on a high in what will be his toughest fight to date against Ferguson. ‘El Cucuy’ has lost six consecutive bouts and hasn’t tasted victory inside the Octagon since stopping Donald Cerrone in 2019. But at the peak of his powers, Ferguson won a record-setting 12 lightweight fights in a row and captured an interim title so would still be a huge name on Pimblett's resume should he claim victory. #pimblettferguson #paddypimblett #tonyferguson
