Joe Rogan Hailed as “Lord and Savior” After His Bold Comment Forces Paddy Pimblett to Make a Tough Confession

Paddy Pimblett suffered a lot of backlash on his controversial win against Jared Gordon at UFC 282. The Merseyside native won the fight by a unanimous decision. Many fans and MMA personalities shared their opinion on Pimblett’s controversial win, including commentator and renowned podcaster Joe Rogan, whom Brendan Schaub claims to be the main reason behind the English fighter’s decision to a rematch with Gordon.

Paddy Pimblett came into the fight against Jared Gordon with a 4-fight winning streak under his belt. The judges scored 29-28, 29-28, and 29-28, in favor of the English national in a fight that saw him get dominated by ‘Flash’ Gordon.

However, he recently stated that he is open to a rematch with Jared Gordon by the end of this year. Moreover, former UFC fighter Brendan Schaub recently stated that Joe Rogan’s decision about ‘The Baddy’s last fight made him call for a rematch.

Brendan Schaub calls Joe Rogan the “lord and savior”

Brendan Schaub recently posted a video on his podcast, ‘The Schaub Show’ on YouTube. He talked about the match between Pimblett and Gordon and how Joe Rogan’s opinion of the fight ended the discussion. Schaub mentioned that Barstool Sports were asking for the bonus after ‘the Baddy’ won the fight. However, he says that they should be glad about just the decision.

He then talked about Joe Rogan’s opinion about the fight. Schaub said, “When Rogan’s like ‘he lost that fight’, game. Set. Match.” He added, “Rogan’s, you know followers, whatever he says, he is their lord and savior. He says anything, they’re all like ‘Yeah!” The former UFC fighter claims that it is better to lose a fight than to get that kind of reaction from Joe Rogan. “When Rogan says you lost, dude, you’d much rather the judges give you a loss than Rogan say ‘you win’. That’s how powerful he is.”
