There is a lot at stake for Tony “El Cucuy” Ferguson going into the cage at UFC 296.

If he loses against Paddy Pimblett in Saturday’s main card bout, he will tie B.J. Penn for the longest losing skid in UFC history. Not a fun turn of events for a former lightweight interim champion with a 12-fight winning streak.

Tony Ferguson on the attack

At the press conference, Tony Ferguson went full on attack mode against his younger opponent.

“I’m waiting for him to say I’ve got Dana White privilege, to be honest,” Pimblett said. “That’s the one thing I haven’t heard him say yet.”
