Paddy Pimblett’s first fight on a UFC PPV card ended in controversial fashion.
On Saturday night, Pimblett won a controversial unanimous decision victory over Jared Gordon at UFC 282.
Here are the scorecards which saw two judges give Paddy the first round, which many fans felt should have gone to Gordon.
Nearly every MMA journalist gave Gordon the fight.
Fans ripped into the judging of the Pimblett-Gordon card.
I’m legitimately shocked by this decision. I’m shocked it was unanimous by all three judges. Paddy Pimblett LOST this fight. Jared Gordon got ROBBED by the judges. This is absolutely criminal. There is something extremely wrong with MMA judging. It’s the worst it’s been. #UFC282
