Pimblett had a roller-coaster end to the last year

While Pimblett had his moment of the year when he won against Jared Gordon at UFC 282, He didn’t end the year too well. Soon after the fight, Judge Douglas Crosby came under fire for his judgment in the fight. Even The NSAC took some tough decisions after public outcry against the standard of judging in the fight.

Soon after, Pimblett and his manager were caught up in a Twitter battle with Ariel Helwani after accusing him of asking financial favors for his appearance in his interview and badmouthing Pimblett at Pat McAfee’s show. While Ariel Helwani came out clean with substantial evidence, Pimblett’s PR took a hit. ‘The Scouser’ will have to pull up his socks and focus on the most important task. MMA is a very demanding sport and lapses in focus often derail the ‘train’ for fighters.
