Robert Whittaker is not counting out Tony Ferguson against Paddy Pimblett at UFC 296.
Ferguson will look to snap a six-fight losing skid against Pimblett on Dec. 16 at UFC 296 in Las Vegas. Although he’s hoping to see a career resurgence from Ferguson, Whittaker acknowledges that the former UFC interim lightweight champion hasn’t been the same fighter as of late.
“I think me and a lot of other UFC fans, especially fans of Tony Ferguson, because I’m a fan of Tony Ferguson, we thought his last fight was his last fight,” Whittaker said on his “It’s not like he’s been on an incline or he’s been just getting beaten or he’s been having tight fights but losing just somehow. It hasn’t been that way, and honestly the Tony Ferguson I saw last time in the octagon was just one that, I don’t know, doesn’t look like he has it anymore.”“Paddy, one of the fastest rising stars of the game and then fastest falling stars in the game,” Whittaker continued. “It’s crazy. This fight is great for that reason.
“I do think Paddy was overhyped for his skillset, which is fine because there are a lot of guys that get into the UFC and have to develop their skillsets and develop their caliber as they go along. That’s just the nature of the game. You don’t need to start in the UFC as a beast. Problem was his mouth. He was running his mouth, and he was acting like he was already the best when obviously we saw some things that suggested you still got to work on some things.
