LAS VEGAS – Jordan Leavitt is torn about the upcoming lightweight matchup between former rival Paddy Pimblett and beloved veteran Tony Ferguson.
Leavitt, who lost to Pimblett in 2022, would like to see former opponent win and have success in his career, as the loss could age well. However, like many, Leavitt has a soft spot for Ferguson, who’s a fan favorite and considered a legend by most, but is currently on a six-fight losing streak.
“I’m in a weird position, you know,” Leavitt told reporters at Wednesday’s UFC Fight Night 232 media day. “You always want your opponents’ to be very successful because it makes you look better by like association, but it’s a lose-lose situation for Paddy.
