The final UFC PPV of the year had an anti-climactic end, as both the main event and co-main event of UFC 282 ended in suspect decisions. While Paddy Pimblett secured a unanimous decision win over Jared Gordon, Jan Blachowicz and Magomed Ankalaev fought to a split draw. The conclusions of the two most important fights on the card frustrated UFC President Dana White. However, he agreed Pimblett earned his victory in the cage rightfully. Recently, he had a curt response to a fan who complained about the fight being a robbery.

In the comments under the post, one fan wrote, “Nobody cares Dana. We care about that robbery of a fight that happen last night.” However, the unrelated comment under his post about a health update did not sit well with the UFC head honcho. White replied, “call the commission if you are that concerned with it.” Another fan found White’s comment in poor taste and responded by saying, “you should also be concerned about that.”

Ariel Helwani’s reaction to UFC 282 judging

Leading MMA journalist Ariel Helwani was at the crux of the controversies in the lead-up to UFC 282. The feud between Pimblett and White, and Helwani was one of the most discussed topics prior to UFC 282. Therefore, the Canadian reporter’s take also gained some traction following the events at UFC 282.

Helwani wrote, “What did y’all think of that decision? Thought it was 29-28 at worst for Jared Gordon. Thought he won the first and third. Could make a case for second, too. Pretty incredible not a single judge had it for him? How’s that possible?”

Helwani also raised a problem with judge Doug Crosby following the event.
