Paddy "overrated" Pimblett v Tony "Washed" Ferguson. I swear, if Pimblett subs Ferguson, we will never hear the end of it.

Paddy isn’t overrated, he’s perfectly rated, he’s a mid fighter but everyone know he’s mid, if everyone is ****ting on your skills, your not overrated. Does anyone even think he make the top 15???

Also, Tony so shot, Paddy is going to beat him

Either way Tony needs to retire after this, if he wins he ends his career with a win and not risk losing again. If he loses he just lost to Paddy Pimblett, either one is a reason to retire.

The only fight I care about on this card. The last UFC event of the year already feels like a letdown.
