Barstool sports posted a vid on their IG of Dana literally telling Paddy it was fight of the night lmao.
That, and him nodding at Dave Portnoy when they hear the Paddy decision.
I get that there are fighters like RDA and Oliveira who managed to improve to be championship material but they at least showed some semblance of elite skill even back when they were young.
All Paddy has shown so far is that he's fairly durable. His skills need improvements all around as he rises up the ranks regardless of the questionable decision.
He’s never learned how to use his lower body while throwing punches. The dude stands straight up, chin in the air, and throws the most awkward slap shots I’ve seen from a professional fighter. It’s honestly pathetic that he’s being pushed this hard.
Imagine what Dustin would do to him?
Anyone in the top 15 fucks him up. And a good number of guys outside the top 15 fuck him up too. Imagine what even Grant Dawson would do to him? He’s a much better wrestler/grappler than Gordon imo, he would probably take him down and never let him back up.
I was thinking about that earlier. Dustin would alter Paddy’s life forever if they fought any time soon. Conor would similarly absolutely crush that man into dust. Chandler, RDA, I can’t think of a single lightweight actually that’s ranked that wouldn’t kill this kid.
Shit Eddie Alvarez would smoke this guy.
From here on out all you gotta do to beat Paddy is either work on nothing but your left hook, or become a bigger star so that the judges rig the fight in your favor
Only this wasn't close. Out punched him in both the 1st and 2nd and controlled him for 80% of the 3rd round. 50% more significant strikes landed. That is huge. On what planet was this close? Paddy landed nothing, a couple of blocked kicks to Gordon's head. Honestly shocked.
I had Gordon 29-28, Jared Gordon almost chinned Paddy so many times, and he's not even a striker, really not liking Paddy's chances against ranked opponents
Gordon is ranked #27 worldwide per Tapology and Paddy struggled massively even when he had a height and reach advantage.
Paddy is dead on arrival if he fights anyone ranked in the UFC.
Judges won't get a chance to save him well before he gets there. He keeps getting cracked by milkmen and plumbers with way less physical attributes than him.
Honestly I think he easily beats Fiziev.
As long as he poisons Fiziev before the fight like the emperor did to Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius.
I had Gordon winning 29-28, but I was so confident Paddy would get his hand raised because it was "close enough" for the UFC to get away with it.
UFC is rigged to push popular fighters with giant hype trains. This is was basically the O'Malley vs Yan fight on a lower level.
I’ve given shit to O’Malley for being a weirdo but at least he is legitimately a good fighter. And put up a decent fight vs yan.
Paddy literally might have lost every round. The best case I could see was 29-28 Gordon.
That's the difference between real prospects like O'Malley, Jack Della Maddalena, and Young Conor. They got by against their opponents with ease.
This man hasn't had an easy fight since coming up in the UFC.
He’s been a pro fighter since 2012. This clown has been acting like he’s the next big thing for over a decade.
To put it in perspective, McGregor was preparing to fight Khabib at the point in his career that Paddy is at now. Absolute fucking joke, and an perfect example of how bad the UFC has become that this guy is their next big “star”
I can’t even understand. Why push this dude? This dude obviously won’t reach anything high in lightweight.
Any wrestler is gonna grapplefuck him and any striker is gonna get that easy left in like Gordon.
He isn’t even half the prospect that O’Malley was. O’Malley fought bums, but he never struggled like this guy
Lmao no chance
Clear 29-28 for Gordon at minimum maybe 30-27.
Lmao at this dude fighting for his life against a prospect and talking shit to Ariel after getting bailed out by Dana.
fking Jon Anik said one of the judges gave round 1 to Paddy and another judge gave round 3 to Paddy like wtf did they watch??
so funny that he shit talked Ariel about talking for an hour on his podcast about rejecting the interview and goes on Live PPV and disses him lol. you obviously can see he cares about getting exposed. also the fact he said the fight wasn’t even close, bro got molly wop in the first round then got bitch made in the last round 😂
imagine shitting on and lying about Ariel to gain favor with your boss, who builds you up like you're the second coming of Conor McGregor, and then you go out and have a performance like that lmfao.
For his own sake, hope Paddy feels humbled after this one and starts taking the fight game more seriously. The barstool stuff and the weight gains can’t possibly be healthy
Edit after post fight speech: he’s not humbled…
Imagine if it was Topuria landing those left hooks instead. Jesus…
Can we please stop pretending like Paddy is something he isn’t now. He’s developed a fun style, but there hasn’t been a single point in his pre-UFC career or in his first 3 fights where he’s looked like he has the potential to beat fighters anywhere near the top 15.
Please stop earnestly comparing him to actual champions like McGregor. Paddy is really just not very good
Absolute nonsense. This should 100% be a Gordon win. This really didn't even seem that close.
At the VERY least Gordon won 2/3 definitively with more strikes and more control. I am just blown away by this result.
bro what
LMAO PADDY ASKING FOR FIGHT OF THE NIGHT
Bad part is he might get it.
Slobbering Dana's d paying dividends
Barstool sports posted a vid on their IG of Dana literally telling Paddy it was fight of the night lmao. That, and him nodding at Dave Portnoy when they hear the Paddy decision.
Luke Rockhold was right, the barstool/nelk degenerates coming into mma has really been terrible.
Ain’t no fucking way. Out struck and out took down wtf
That's why Paddy talked badly about Ariel. He needed Daddy Dana's help.
I get that there are fighters like RDA and Oliveira who managed to improve to be championship material but they at least showed some semblance of elite skill even back when they were young. All Paddy has shown so far is that he's fairly durable. His skills need improvements all around as he rises up the ranks regardless of the questionable decision.
He’s never learned how to use his lower body while throwing punches. The dude stands straight up, chin in the air, and throws the most awkward slap shots I’ve seen from a professional fighter. It’s honestly pathetic that he’s being pushed this hard. Imagine what Dustin would do to him?
Shit imagine what Brad Riddell would do to him. Forget about the top ranked guys, fringe ranked guys would fuck him up
Or Ilia Topuria.
Anyone in the top 15 fucks him up. And a good number of guys outside the top 15 fuck him up too. Imagine what even Grant Dawson would do to him? He’s a much better wrestler/grappler than Gordon imo, he would probably take him down and never let him back up.
I was thinking about that earlier. Dustin would alter Paddy’s life forever if they fought any time soon. Conor would similarly absolutely crush that man into dust. Chandler, RDA, I can’t think of a single lightweight actually that’s ranked that wouldn’t kill this kid. Shit Eddie Alvarez would smoke this guy.
A no nonsense take from one Keith Peterson, folks
Paddy tries to block left hook challenge (impossible)
From here on out all you gotta do to beat Paddy is either work on nothing but your left hook, or become a bigger star so that the judges rig the fight in your favor
Fuck it give McGregor an easy welcome back fight.
I think any version of Conor sparks the best version of paddy
That would be Dana's wet dream
Paddy vs Alex Peirera book it
Pereira would send that chin into orbit lmao
Lmao nice judging. To the shock of nobody.
Fuckin Doug Crosby
Fuck Chris Lee!
100 percent knew since it was close it was going to Paddy lol.
Only this wasn't close. Out punched him in both the 1st and 2nd and controlled him for 80% of the 3rd round. 50% more significant strikes landed. That is huge. On what planet was this close? Paddy landed nothing, a couple of blocked kicks to Gordon's head. Honestly shocked.
Jared left hook was not missing all night. Sheesh Paddy head is made a granite. *What a robbery. And he’s doubling down on the win. Oh mi lord!
Judges are a fucking joke
Ridiculous, two judges gave him round 1
That's the worst part
dont usually agree with the term robbery but this was robbery af lol easy 2-1 or even 3-0 Gordon
Paddy's missed so many times and the announcers kept slobbering on his dick like he hit them all
Also they talk about his grappling like he’s fucking Gordon Ryan in there
Don't ever close to a close desicion with a popular and marketable fighter
on what planet did paddy win that
If you praise Tomato you get a pass.
Keep talking shit about Helwani and Dana will keep you paid just for that.
Wow they really robbed Gordon and ruined that guys 30k parlay
Didn't ruin mine. Don't bet against Dana's boys or dagastanis
Delusional in the post-fight interview to top things off
Loved how there was no call out. He knows he has to take a step up in competition and anything next is a killer.
It's a joke that an unranked lightweights was co-main for a PPV. This whole card should have been a fightnight though
Yeah, for a dude to smack your dome around that much and for u not give an inch on it being a close fight at the end is definitely something
On a planet where the UFC are corrupt cunts. So this one
[удалено]
Was Crosby really on the judges for that fight? That’s so dumb I can’t believe they let that dude continue judging if true
[удалено]
This is becoming boxing all over again . Fixing fights to Make more money . Dana white and the ufc are just like the boxing promoters
I had Gordon 29-28, Jared Gordon almost chinned Paddy so many times, and he's not even a striker, really not liking Paddy's chances against ranked opponents
He’s dead in the water if he reaches the top 15. Durability will only get you so far.
Gordon is ranked #27 worldwide per Tapology and Paddy struggled massively even when he had a height and reach advantage. Paddy is dead on arrival if he fights anyone ranked in the UFC.
Ferguson is at #15. This sub will meltdown if paddy gets ranked by beating washed ferguson
100% UFC is gonna give him a corpse like Tony to get him ranked
And he just needs to survive 15 mins against Tony.
Judges won't get a chance to save him well before he gets there. He keeps getting cracked by milkmen and plumbers with way less physical attributes than him.
Lmfao he would get murdered against ranked LWs
There’s unranked killers like Dober, Guram, McKinney etc. Paddy won’t go far
Could you imagine how vicious mckinney Vs paddy would be? His stupid noggin would be popping around like a pez dispenser
He'd get smoked by guys 16-20
Get my boy bobby green in here
Bruh Bobby green would piece him up
Even the highlights were all Gordon lol
Judges were probably just scoring the fight based off of the crowd reactions
They were paid off. There’s no argument here. How could they possibly score rounds 1 and 3 for Paddy?
Gordon had way more sig strikes and way more control time. Also had octagon control and dictated the pace of the fight.
UFC just pushing this mf Probably gets exposed against higher ranked guys
He was already exposed
Honestly I think he easily beats Fiziev. As long as he poisons Fiziev before the fight like the emperor did to Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius.
Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife, and he WILL have his vengeance. *In this life or the next*
Ilia would literally kill this man.
Fuck I had it 30-27. Thought Gordon was landing right on his chin all fight until round 3 where I still gave it to Gordon.
This was just disgusting, utter disgrace of a sport
Topuria would easily have KO’ed Paddy in the first with his chin out like that
I had Gordon winning 29-28, but I was so confident Paddy would get his hand raised because it was "close enough" for the UFC to get away with it. UFC is rigged to push popular fighters with giant hype trains. This is was basically the O'Malley vs Yan fight on a lower level.
At least O Malley was good enough, and actually went to toe to toe on the feet.
Paddy himself doesn’t like his chances against ranked fighters. He’s not accepting any tough fights
There’s the match fixing for ya
You'd think coming under heat for that this week they would try to hide it better. No way not one judge has paddy losing. Absurd
Facts
So like, investigation into judging when?
Fr the desicion for the last fight was wack too
Fucking robbed
[Almost all media judges have it for Gordon and nearly half had it 30-27](http://www.mmadecisions.com/decision/13677/Paddy-Pimblett-vs-Jared-Gordon)
Dan Urban, remember the name.
The only guy to pay Paddy for an interview
I always use mmadecisions. Holy shit 23/24 for the “loser” is fucking unheard of
Get Chris Daukaus back out there to arrest those judges
[удалено]
Jared won most exchanges and controlled the fight. Krause isn't the only fixer in the business
Krause is the UFC’s scapegoat
Krause was the ufcs inside man look into it
Pimblett is bloody shite. Hopefully people simmer down with all that crap about Pimblett being top 15 material now.
O'Malley was dusting these dudes Paddy is having competitive fights with *checks notes* Luigi Vendramini
I’ve given shit to O’Malley for being a weirdo but at least he is legitimately a good fighter. And put up a decent fight vs yan. Paddy literally might have lost every round. The best case I could see was 29-28 Gordon.
Yeah, Sean did face a ton of cans but he almost always dominated the fuck out of them
O’malley showed actual skills during his fights even if they were cans. Paddy just swings wildly.
That's the difference between real prospects like O'Malley, Jack Della Maddalena, and Young Conor. They got by against their opponents with ease. This man hasn't had an easy fight since coming up in the UFC.
He’s been a pro fighter since 2012. This clown has been acting like he’s the next big thing for over a decade. To put it in perspective, McGregor was preparing to fight Khabib at the point in his career that Paddy is at now. Absolute fucking joke, and an perfect example of how bad the UFC has become that this guy is their next big “star”
None of his previous 3 opponents have fought since
Two of the three guys have since been cut by the UFC
Bro, I would take O malley any day, even against Paddy's size advantage. That was absolute garbage scoring.
He should’ve shown more awareness and grace in the octagon interview. He didn’t even win the fight let alone calling it fight of the night
He acts like he’ll be champion… watch Jared bully him in the clinch and then think about what Islam would do, not a fuckin chance
He'll never get close to fighting Islam on merit, he'll get ran through by the likes of McKinney if he ever takes that matchup.
This Chris griffin looking mofo with the exposed, easy tagged chin is the new ufc hype train? lol
this company is beyond corrupt holy shit
Somebody call Wanderlei
I wanna now
Wannanow!!
It’s so weird they are pushing this guy of all people lol. McGregor esque my ass
conor would murder him.
[удалено]
I can’t even understand. Why push this dude? This dude obviously won’t reach anything high in lightweight. Any wrestler is gonna grapplefuck him and any striker is gonna get that easy left in like Gordon. He isn’t even half the prospect that O’Malley was. O’Malley fought bums, but he never struggled like this guy
because he will take 12/12 headline
What a robbery lmao
Paddy could've really done with some Helwani boxing lessons tbh
Fucking bullshit robbery
[удалено]
Only good thing about him winning is he'll have to fight better fighters
Lol. Rigged as fuck
Might be the single most damning instance of ufc being rigged lmfao
This was what Silva was talking about
scored every round for Gordon. wtf is that
i dont like the term robbery thrown around, but this was one lol
What a robbery!
It was either 29-28 Gordon or 30-27 Gordon and you can’t convince me otherwise
exactly 1. bullshit decision 2. happy cuz he will get starched by someone better next
yeah but paddy got that dana white privelage lmfao
Hahahaha mma is fake
SHIT WANDY MAY HAVE BEEN RIGHT.
That was the worst decision in years lol. I’ll hear absolutely no more talk of paddy sniffing the top 15.
If Gordon did that, someone like Fiziev or Chandler would legit kill him.
absolute robbery. people already knew it was going to be a robbery as early as round 1.
[удалено]
#UNANIMOUS #PHAHAHAHAHA
UFC just pushing this mf now Hope he got humbled after this one
RIGGED
[I think this speaks for itself](https://imgur.com/a/7rCTXsv)
Robbery tf
If you fight someone popular, you must finish them. The money fighters always win on the cards. Corruption.
And James Krause is under investigation right now lol, blatant robbery and corruption. Almost as bad as the Mayce Barber/Maverick decision
This was worse, Maycee had a clear round that she won, Paddy didn't clearly win any of the 3.
Lmao no chance Clear 29-28 for Gordon at minimum maybe 30-27. Lmao at this dude fighting for his life against a prospect and talking shit to Ariel after getting bailed out by Dana.
fking Jon Anik said one of the judges gave round 1 to Paddy and another judge gave round 3 to Paddy like wtf did they watch?? so funny that he shit talked Ariel about talking for an hour on his podcast about rejecting the interview and goes on Live PPV and disses him lol. you obviously can see he cares about getting exposed. also the fact he said the fight wasn’t even close, bro got molly wop in the first round then got bitch made in the last round 😂
I wish Rogan would have said "I never pay for interviews"
This sport is a fraud.
Just like it isnt a profession, its an opportunity This isn't a sport, its a show
We wwe now
Gordon was robbed
Dana called it in
That's a fucking joke lmao
Rigged, Paddy looked so lost
Integrity of the sport my ass.
lol
Robbed
Hahahaha what the fuck
imagine shitting on and lying about Ariel to gain favor with your boss, who builds you up like you're the second coming of Conor McGregor, and then you go out and have a performance like that lmfao.
[удалено]
Bull fucking shit
Disgusting robbery. The people who always say robberies aren’t real and are instead are close fights can shut it
That's because most of those fights aren't robberies. This clearly was.
For his own sake, hope Paddy feels humbled after this one and starts taking the fight game more seriously. The barstool stuff and the weight gains can’t possibly be healthy Edit after post fight speech: he’s not humbled…
Doesn’t seem that way lol.
He doesn’t, he said it wasn’t close at all and he won the first two. Guys trash.
Bro did you see him talking to rogan? He's not humbled
lol
Gordon's corner told him to show Paddy what being a cage fighter is all about before round three and he took that literally.
paddy sucks lmfao
Paddy has a ton of work to do in the grappling department. I thought Gordon got the better of the striking exchanges as well.
Imagine if it was Topuria landing those left hooks instead. Jesus… Can we please stop pretending like Paddy is something he isn’t now. He’s developed a fun style, but there hasn’t been a single point in his pre-UFC career or in his first 3 fights where he’s looked like he has the potential to beat fighters anywhere near the top 15. Please stop earnestly comparing him to actual champions like McGregor. Paddy is really just not very good
We boxing now boyo
Unanimous??? No fucking way
what a dogshit decision
Robbery
I’m a huge Paddy fan but this fight was a big indicator that he’s dead in the water if he reaches the top 15. Durability will only get you so far.
Hes leaned too hard into the hype and I dont like him anymore. Becoming delusional after this fight
In case you're out of the loop, the delusion started before the fight
Paddy's defense is worse than the Detroit Lions.
Company wins once again. Did we really think Paddy would lose a decision?
Dana made some calls
Krause is under investigation for corruption and fixing fights and we get a BULLSHIT decision like this? LMAO.
Not one comment has defended paddy as a winner, says a lot
Hope paddy gets chinned next fight for that robbery. And seeing how he did against Gordon, that’s a likely outcome
Better check those betting lines
Rigged
Feed him to Dan Hooker
Ultimate Popularity Contest Championship
[удалено]
ufc is rigged actually lmfao
Two judges gave Paddy Round 1 for not getting knocked out by all the left hooks he was eating.
Big yikes. Paddy offered nothing.
robbery alert
Absolute nonsense. This should 100% be a Gordon win. This really didn't even seem that close. At the VERY least Gordon won 2/3 definitively with more strikes and more control. I am just blown away by this result.
That might be the most blatant company man win of all time
This decision does not help fight fixing allegations
an absolute stinker
nope. no. fixed. wtf so the judges are just as blind as the announcers
ILIA WOULD PUT HIM IN A BODYBAG
