Paddy Pimblett's opponent told he had won seconds before decision was announced

Jared Gordon has revealed that Joe Rogan told him he beat Paddy Pimblett just moments before losing a controversial decision to the Brit.

Pimblett remained unbeaten in the UFC earlier this month with a points win against Gordon in Las Vegas, but the decision was heavily criticised as many fans felt the American should have won. An investigation has since been launched into a judge from the fight, Doug Crosby, following a scorecard that he gave just one day earlier at a Bellator event in California.

Just before UFC announcer Bruce Buffer read the official decision for the co-main event clash, Gordon said that longtime commentator Rogan told him he'd won. "When the fight was over, I'm like alright I did enough. Joe Rogan was like, 'yeah, you got this, you got this' I was like 'alright, Joe is saying it, I guess I won," Gordon said on the Believe You Me podcast.
