Round a yr in the past, Paddy Pimblett took half in one of the crucial controversial UFC fights of 2022.
The Liverpool man, preventing in his fourth UFC bout after securing spectacular finishes in his first three, was paired with the gritty Jared Gordon in a battle through which Pimblett vowed to impress in what was his pay-per-view debut within the co-main occasion of UFC 282. And whereas he finally had his hand raised, the way of his victory was the supply of fierce debate.
Pimblett, who was awarded a unanimous 29-28 resolution, was closely criticised for what some analysts noticed as a below-par efficiency — with the overwhelming majority of media members polled stating their perception that Gordon ought to have been declared the winner after showing to outstrike the Englishman and rating about six minutes of whole management time.
Pimblett would later reveal that he suffered a extreme ankle damage early within the first spherical which curtailed his efficiency, and which required a number of surgical procedures all through 2023 which have sidelined him till this weekend the place he’ll tackle one of many UFC light-weight division’s most iconic fighters, Tony Ferguson.
