Paddy Pimblett played up to the crowd after staring off with Jared Gordon for the final time ahead of their UFC 282 tonight.
'The Baddy' looks to extend his unbeaten run in the promotion to four fights when he faces Gordon at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The fight marks Pimblett's pay-per-view debut having previously competed at Fight Night events, with the cancellation of Jiri Prochazka vs Glover Teixeira bumping his fight up to the co-main spot.
Pimblett received a huge cheer from the crowd as he walked out on stage at the MGM Grand Garden Arena to lock eyes with Gordon. The pair shook hands and had a friendly face-off, with Pimblett throwing his arms up in the air and pumping his fist as the fans in attendance chanted his name. Gordon was booed by the fans in his home country, but he didn't seem bothered by the reception.
