Paddy Pimblett has rejected claims that his victory over Jared Gordon was a ‘robbery’, dismissing his critics as ‘haters’ after UFC 282.
The Liverpudlian lightweight was a unanimous-decision winner over American Gordon in Las Vegas on Saturday – to the surprise of the majority of fans, pundits and fighters. Pimblett, 27, was outstruck for most of the first two rounds and outgrappled in the third and final round. All three judges scored the co-main event in Pimblett’s favour, however, with each scorecard reading 29-28.
