One of the most controversial fights in recent memory featured one of the sport’s rising stars.
Paddy Pimblett stepped into the biggest spotlight of his career at UFC 282 in December 2022, and exited it with a very controversial victory over Jared Gordon.
Many viewers thought Gordon definitively did enough to hand Pimblett his first UFC loss. However, the three opinions that mattered were the judge scoring the fight: Douglas Crosby, Chris Lee, and Ron McCarthy. They scored the fight unanimously 29-28 for Pimblett.
Now that the dust has settled and emotions aren’t as high, did Pimblett get away with a robbery decision? Or were the judges right after all?
Check out the full fight video above before Pimblett returns Saturday vs. Tony Ferguson at UFC 296.
