Video: Was Tony Ferguson vs. Paddy Pimblett a lose-lose all around?

The UFC 296 matchup between Tony Ferguson and Paddy Pimblett was heavily criticized from the start.

Ferguson, 39, lost his previous six fights. Pimblett, 28, was the exact opposite, running hot as a winner of six straight, and appeared ready to take on the next level of competition. It felt like the beloved Ferguson was being brought in so that Pimblett could get a big win over a former interim champion.

Pimblett won the fight by unanimous decision, and although Ferguson looked good at times, he was clearly outmatched. “El Cucuy” is now a loser of seven straight fights, and may be done. Pimblett continues his winning streak, but even he admitted this was a tough spot to be in.

Were there any positives to take from this pairing or was this a lose-lose all around?

That’s what our “Spinning Back Clique” of Mike Bohn, Danny Segura, and Brian “Goze” Garcia discussed along with host “Gorgeous” George Garcia.
