Paddy Pimblett earned his third win of 2022 after beating Jared Gordon after an unanimous decision at UFC 282 in Las Vegas.
The 27-year-old from Huyton edged a close and battling co-main event, despite potentially breaking his foot with a kick in the first round, winning by 29-28 on all three of the judges' scorecards to add to wins back in March and July.
In the 34-year-old Gordon, Pimblett faced his most experienced opponent yet at UFC, and the big Liverpool FC fan could well have been on the other end of the result. Gordon often managed to sneak past Pimblett's low guard with left-hand shots, grappling his counterpart to the floor in the third as he looked for a late submission.
