Paddy Pimblett Goes Off on Joe Rogan After Viral Reaction to UFC 282 Controversy: “I’m Pretty P*ssed Off”

Paddy Pimblett is one of the brightest prospects of the UFC. The Englishman has shown incredible in-octagon skills and a robust out-of-the-octagon persona from the very beginning of his UFC career.

He receives huge pops from the crowd right from the time when his entry theme starts playing. ‘The Baddy’ was drafted for the co-main event of UFC 282 after a prolonged contract dispute with the promotion.

Pimblett also managed to secure a victory over his opponent via a unanimous decision. But, a lot of noted fight personalities and fans came up with their opinion that the victory was incorrectly awarded to Pimblett.

The UFC color commentator, Joe Rogan, also called it a close fight, and Pimblett was disgusted by it.

Pimblett replied to Joe Rogan instantly that to him, it wasn’t a close fight. ‘The Baddy’ implied that he had won the fight comfortably enough.

Post the UFC 282, Pimblett was also interviewed about his bout against Jared Gordon by the noted MMA coverage reporter ‘Aaron Bronsteter’. ‘The Baddy’ vented out his annoyance at the people failing to see his clear victory against Gordon. He also was visibly irritated by Rogan calling his bout “a close one”.

In his interview with Bronsteter, Pimblett also compared the faces of him and Gordon in justification of his victory. He showed a minor cut he sustained inside his mouth and compared it to Gordon’s face, which at one time was leaking blood.

He said, “A little cut inside. But look at my face. And look at his face. There’s a big difference. I can’t believe”.
