Tony Ferguson joined Ariel Helwani on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour to discuss his much-debated matchup with Paddy Pimblett at UFC 296, but Ferguson was better than what we’re used to seeing these days. It seemed much more realistic and thoughtful.
In an all-new edition of Heck of a Morning, MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck discusses the lessons he learned from Ferguson’s interview ahead of his fight with Pimblett, where “El Cucuy” will go depending on the outcome of the fight, and He talked about why there is such pressure. The victory rests with Pimblett. Additionally, listener topics include Matt Brown’s comments on rumored opponent Colby Covington losing to Leon Edwards at UFC 296, Canelo Alvarez’s standout performance on Saturday, and last Saturday’s PFL Europe Cedric Doumbe’s viral finish, why ONE Championship should be on your radar, and more. It’s not about competing against the UFC, it’s about ourselves.
You can listen to Heck of a Morning live on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays at 10 a.m. ET on the MMA Fighting Twitter Spaces.
