Some of the decisions made by the UFC judges have left the fans throwing their arms up in the air. There are times when a bout between two fighters gets so close that it becomes difficult to predict the winner. One such match took place between Paddy Pimblett and Jared Gordon at UFC 282. The bout was a highly close affair, and it ended in a unanimous decision victory favoring Pimblett. Whenever a fight goes to a decision, there are chances for some fans to feel that the decision was biased. However, after the judges’ scores for ‘Baddy’ and ‘Flash’ were announced, the majority of the fans were highly disturbed as they believed that the British Fighter did not deserve to win.
Even now, the fans call out Pimblett for his weak performance against Gordon. The majority strongly feel that it was Gordon who dominated the entire fight. At the moment, Pimblett has announced through his social media handle that he is planning to return to the UFC octagon before the year’s end. However, ‘Baddy’s announcement didn’t receive the response he expected, as the fans were still angry at him.
