Paddy The Baddy

'The Baddy' was making his pay-per-view debut at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas against UFC veteran Gordon and he won a controversial decision on the ...

It was neck and neck going into the third round and Gordon instantly shot for a takedown with Pimblett trying his best to break his rival’s grip. The pair were exchanging heavy shots on the feet and the action was briefly halted as Pimblett accidentally poked his opponent in the eye. Gordon finished the round on top after Pimblett landed a takedown but was reversed and found himself on his back. Pimblett also detailed his plans to carry out charitable work with Gordon after launching his own foundation this week. The Scouser caught a kick from Gordon and capitalised by landing a good right hand that sent the American on the retreat. The charismatic Scouser had previously choked out both Kazula Vargas and Jordan Leavitt earlier this year, as he kept up his 100 per cent finish rate in the UFC by beating Gordon.

He lost if you think he won that fight you’re a fake. The state commission picks and controls the judges in place. This is a marketing skeem bull shit I won the first two rounds and coasted in the third. [@UFC]doesn’t control the judging. Can’t blame the UFC and say “they got Paddy their money train beat”. Too far along for it to be this much of an issue. And a 1-2. And a high kick. [December 11, 2022] It’s a miracle they kept him winning all the way till tonight.
