Joe Rogan and Nate Diaz agreed that Noche UFC star was robbed in controversial Paddy Pimblett fight

Paddy Pimblett was awarded controversial win over Jared Gordon that left Joe Rogan and Nate Diaz baffled

Jared Gordon will be sharing the cage with one of the Noche UFC event’s Mexican fighters, as he battles Rafa Garcia on Saturday’s main card.

The American has been on an inconsistent run since 2021, winning just three of his seven fights. But things may have played out much differently had he been awarded a victory that many believe he deserved.

In his most high-profile assignment to date, Gordon fought Paddy Pimblett at UFC 282. The pair co-headlined the pay-per-view, which marked the Scouser’s first appearance at a numbered event in the promotion.

All three scorecards went the way of ‘The Baddy’, much to the fury of many in the MMA community who thought ‘Flash’ had done enough across three rounds at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena.

Among the high-profile names to take issue with the judges’ scorecards was UFC star Nate Diaz.

“Bruh? You (Pimblett) lost that fight,” Diaz wrote on X.

And after commentator Joe Rogan’s eye roll inside the Octagon at UFC 282 made it clear what he thought of it, the renowned podcaster later claimed in no uncertain terms that Gordon had been robbed.

“Jared Gordon got f—- and that’s unfortunate,” Rogan said on his podcast. “I don’t like when someone gets by just because they’re famous and they have this big personality, and everybody loves them.”

Plenty of fans shared similar sentiments online following the widely debated result, with some even going as far as to call the bout “rigged.”

“This was totally rigged.”

“Judges got bought by Las Vegas?”

“Gordon stopped that hype train, Paddy lost it and lost it BIG; awful decision by the judges, they’re ruining the sport.”
