Tony Ferguson, the man who knows the most about the UFC 324 interim lightweight title main fight, is the person you should ask to help you make your decision.
Ferguson, the former interim lightweight champion, fought Justin Gaethje in the first pandemic. He lost that fight via TKO at the fifth round. He fought Paddy Pimblett three years later in his last UFC fight. The bout lasted the full three rounds.
Now, he’ll be watching his two rivals fight for the same belt he used to hold years ago. And he believes that the ‘interim’ part will play a big part in the result if the fight becomes gritty and comes down to who wants it more.
