Chael Sonnen thinks that Tony Ferguson will quickly beat Paddy Pimblett in their approaching fight at UFC 296 on December 16. Despite Ferguson being thought about a huge underdog, Sonnen believes that Ferguson has actually dealt with much harder competitors in his profession. Ferguson’s current 6-fight losing streak consists of losses to leading fighters such as Justin Gaethje, Charles Oliveira, and Michael Chandler. On the other hand, Pimblett has yet to deal with a ranked challenger in the octagon, although he has a 4-0 record considering that signing up with the UFC. Sonnen thinks that Ferguson must be credited for his strength of schedule and his previous ranking in the leading 10. Additionally, Sonnen believes that Pimblett’s 1 year layoff due to ankle surgical treatment might impact his efficiency. Despite the betting odds preferring Pimblett, Sonnen is positive in Ferguson’s capabilities and considers him a great bet in this fight.
