Tony Ferguson opens as massive betting underdog to beat Paddy Pimblett in December fight at UFC 296

Welcoming polarizing lightweight contender, Paddy Pimblett back from his extended lay-off at the end of the year, former interim champion, Tony Ferguson has opened as a sizeable betting underdog to snap his six-fight losing skid at UFC 296.

Ferguson, a former interim lightweight champion under the promotion’s banner, is slated to feature at UFC 296 in December against former Cage Warriors featherweight champion, Pimblett, as he makes his second Octagon walk of the year.

Back in July, fan-favorite veteran, Tony Ferguson slumped to his staggering sixth consecutive loss, giving up a late third round arm-triangle submission loss to fellow veteran, Bobby Green.
