Jared Gordon: Paddy Pimblett’s call for rematch shows ‘I’m clearly living rent free in his head’

Jared Gordon Paddy Pimblett Bobby Green UFC UFC Fight Night 222 MMA Junkie

LAS VEGAS – Jared Gordon thinks a rematch with Paddy Pimblett would be a step backwards if he beats Bobby Green on Saturday at UFC Fight Night 222.

Gordon (19-6 MMA, 7-5 UFC) suffered a controversial unanimous decision loss to Pimblett (20-3 MMA, 4-0 UFC) at UFC 282 in December in a result that was deemed MMA Junkie’s Robbery of the Year for 2022. At first, Pimblett was extremely defiant toward anyone who suggested he lost, but in subsequent months he changed perspective and admitted it was closer than he originally believed.

More recently, however, Pimblett has taken a hard pivot. After undergoing ankle surgery this past month, Pimblett posted a video from his hospital bed and aggressively called for a rematch with Gordon, so long as he can defeat Green (29-14-1 MMA, 10-9-1 UFC) in their featured lightweight bout this weekend at the UFC Apex. The card streams on ESPN+.
