LAS VEGAS – For Tony Ferguson, training with David Goggins is exactly what he needed mentally.
Ferguson (25-9 MMA, 15-7 UFC) will look to snap a six-fight losing skid when he meets Paddy Pimblett (20-3 MMA, 4-0 UFC) in a lightweight bout on Saturday’s UFC 296 main card at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN2 and early prelims on ESPN+.
Ferguson sought out help from former Navy SEAL Goggins in his attempt to turn things around. “El Cucuy” went through intense cardio sessions where he completed Goggins’ notorious “Hell Week.”
