Jared Gordon believes his UFC fight against Paddy Pimblett last December has played on his rival's mind ever since.
Pimblett, 28, controversially beat Gordon at UFC 282 but many fans and fighters labelled the outcome as "one of the worst UFC decisions ever". Gordon landed more punches than Pimblett over three rounds and scored three takedowns whilst racking up over six minutes of control time on the ground, but the official fight stats didn't reflect the decision with all three judges scoring the fight 29-28 in Pimblett's favour.
'The Baddy' has since called for a rematch against Gordon despite beating him, sending an X-rated message to his rival just moments after undergoing ankle surgery last month. Gordon, who fights Bobby Green in Las Vegas on Saturday, thinks Pimblett's calls for a rematch show that he doesn't believe he won their fight.
