Nothing disappoints more than an unjust verdict on an anticipated match. Something similar occurred at UFC 282 in its final moments. Given that it was the final UFC pay-per-view event of the year, there was a lot of anticipation for the event. However, all the enthusiasm was dashed when Pimblett vs. Gordon’s results were announced.
The fans believed that Paddy Pimblett‘s three-round victory was unfairly proclaimed. And in the ring, right when the results were being announced, Joe Rogan had a somewhat similar reaction. A footage from the event shows Rogan‘s reaction to the winner announcement, and fans applaud the UFC commentator for his candid response.

When Paddy Pimblett was announced as the winner of the co-main event at UFC 282, Joe Rogan could not help but make a face.
Joe Rogan was not pleased and neither were the fans
UFC 282 turned out to be a major letdown for all the fans across the world. Although no major UFC fighter had headlined the event, the standout fights had the audience on the edge up until the last two bouts. A clip surfaced on the internet that shows Joe Rogan making a face when Paddy Pimblett was announced the winner against Jared Gordon. And it elicited a number of reactions from the fans, with some backlash for the UFC attached to it.

The video had the caption “Joe Rogan wasn’t having it 👀😬” and there couldn’t have been a more perfect description for the moment captured.
Check out some of the reactions of the fans to the viral clip:
A fan termed Rogan as a ‘real dude’:
“Joe Rogan a real dude that’s why ppl love him”
Rogan is bound to do it for the sake of his job, said another supporter:
“Joe is like just for money i need to do that this false work😂😂”
Another fan claimed that ‘The Baddy’ didn’t win a single round:
“Paddy didn’t win 1 round”
One bold remark by a UFC fan directed toward Dana White:
“He was like “ofc dana new toy won””
A fan called it the ‘biggest robbery’:
“Literally the biggest robbery in UFC history. Wasn’t even competitive to say maybe he did win.”
Another one made a Sean O’Malley vs. Petr Yan fight reference:
“ofc the wont let a rising star with money making ppv lose when it comes to decision just like the sean and yan fight”
Not a fan of this decision:
“Worst decision judges needs to be changed”
Joe Rogan is associated with the UFC for about two decades now, and he certainly knows a thing or two about these fights. And Paddy Pimblett winning the fight certainly didn’t ring the right bells for the UFC commentator.
Judges of UFC 282 received backlash
The outcomes of UFC 282 have faced scathing criticism from fans all around the world ever since they were revealed. They deemed the Pimblett vs. Gordon match as the ‘biggest robbery’ in UFC history as a result.
