John McCarthy Reprimanded His Son, Judge at UFC 282, for “Wrong” Decision With Paddy Pimblett Fight: “I Thought…”

Saturday Night’s UFC 282 will go down as one of the most controversial events in the promotion’s books. Since both the main event and the co-main event were full of questionable results. Although the co-main event saw Paddy Pimblett stand victorious against Jared Gordon. According to many, he was the more deserving fighter to win out of the two.

The judges came to a completely different conclusion. Amongst many who voiced their opinion were John McCarthy and Josh Thomson. Moreover, McCarthy even ended up debating with his son regarding the decision.

Paddy ‘The Baddy’ won his fourth consecutive fight in the promotion, since making his debut. Although, on paper, it might come off as a great run, many doubters believe he will crumble upon a serious challenge from the top 10.

The win over ‘Flash’ wasn’t a gracious one, to say the least. Considering himself one of the biggest pay-per-view draws, he needs to get himself together before facing one of the top guns. Now that a match-up with the top of the division now seems quite likely. The question remains unanswered, is he good enough?

Alongside former UFC fighter Josh Thomson, he hosts a podcast enrapturing combat sports events and entities.
