Paddy Pimblett suffered his first loss early on in his career. On his fifth outing inside the cage, Pimblett lost to Cameron Else via submission in a bantamweight bout at Cage Warriors Fighting Championship (CWFC 60). Cameron Else was able to secure an Anaconda Choke quite early into the first round, forcing Pimblett to tap.

Pimblett’s second loss came at the hands of Nad Narimani at featherweight in the main event of CWFC 82. Though Pimblett was riding on a 9-fight win streak at the time, Nad Narimani was able to stop the hype train. Narimani won on all three of the judges’ scorecards by scoring 48-47, 49-46 and 50-49.

‘The Baddy’ suffered his third loss against Soren Bak at CW 96 via Unanimous Decision. Pimblett had his sights set on joining Conor McGregor as a double champ in Cage Warriors. However, Bak foiled his aspirations by working more than Pimblett in the fight to secure a decision win over him. The judges scored the contest, 48-44, 48-45 and 48-46. All in favor of Soren Bak.

Despite the three losses, Pimblett has a pretty respectable resume with 15 finishes in his 20 wins. Most people seem to believe that Paddy Pimblett will steam-roll over Ferguson in their upcoming match, even when Ferguson has been training with David Goggins ahead of their fight.

Like many others, Paddy Pimblett has been critical of Tony Ferguson’s training with David Goggins. The scouser believes that the fight with Justin Gaethje and the knockout from Michael Chandler has taken the wind out of the former interim champion’s sales.

Though Pimblett respects Tony Ferguson, he believes that training with Goggins won’t do him any good. Pimblett claims that Ferguson never needed help with his mental toughness, as he knows what ‘El Cucuy’ is capable of.
