The lightweight bout between former top dog and interim champion Tony Ferguson and UFC star Paddy Pimblett has been labeled as both controversial and unnecessary, but nevertheless it’s an interesting matchup.

Ferguson has been one of the absolute most interesting lightweights to ever grace the octagon, but has lately fallen from grace with six (!) straight losses. A loss against the rising star will most likely be the veteran’s last fight in the UFC.

His British opponent has quickly become one of the promotion’s biggest names, but has yet to prove himself against tougher opponents.
