Last night, the UFC 282 pay-per-view event in Las Vegas wrapped up with the main event ending in a draw. However, the co-main event of the pay-per-view generated a lot of traction among the fans.
Paddy Pimblett, in his fourth UFC appearance, took on Jared Gordon in the co-main event of UFC 282. While the fight was a treat to watch, fight fans weren’t all impressed with the results. Even the UFC veteran color commentator Joe Rogan seemed a bit off after listening to the results.

A viral video shows the reaction of Rogan. The JRE podcast host can be seen nodding in the video after the winner of the fight was announced by Bruce Buffer. Although Rogan hasn’t said anything about the bout, his expression in the video made it clear that the 55-year-old didn’t agree much with the judges.
However, it wasn’t only Rogan that seemed unimpressed by the results. Many people, including UFC stars, believe that Gordon was robbed in the fight. They rallied for Gordon on the internet.
‘The Baddy’ so far in the UFC
‘The Baddy’ was a prominent name in the sport even before his UFC debut in 2021. The former Cage Warriors champion became an instant hit in the UFC over a very short time span because of his charismatic personality and fighting style.
In the UFC, he has competed four times and has won all of them. The previous three of his fights ended via a finish. However, he is yet to be ranked in the top 15 of the division. A few more wins might just do that for him.
What are your thoughts on Pimblett’s MMA journey so far? What do you guys think about Rogan’s reaction?
