One of the most controversial fights in recent memory featured one of the sport’s rising stars.
[autotag]Paddy Pimblett[/autotag] stepped into the biggest spotlight of his career at UFC 282 in December 2022, and exited it with a very controversial victory over [autotag]Jared Gordon[/autotag].
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.
