Dana White responds to backlash after booking Paddy Pimblett vs Tony Ferguson
Paddy Pimblett will finally make his return to the Octagon in December to face former UFC interim champion Tony Ferguson.The 28-year-old was riding a four-fight UFC win streak but was forced to go under the knife in a move that curtailed his plans for 2023.
The Liverpudlian will now get the chance to finish this year on a high in what will be his toughest fight to date against Ferguson. But at the peak of his powers, Ferguson won a record-setting 12 lightweight fights in a row and captured an interim title so would still be a huge name on Pimblett's resume should he claim victory.UFC 296 will take place on Saturday, December 16.The preliminary card will get underway around 11:30pm UK time before the main card at 2am - with Pimblett against Ferguson at around 4am.
The prelims are set to be broadcast live on the UFC Fight Pass before the main card will be shown live on TNT Sports.Why is Jones not fighting at UFC 295?

“He’s had a great career. Done a lot of things, had a lot of big fights. That would probably be a wrap for him. Hopefully.”T&Cs: 18+ New customers only.
