The extremely controversial ruling on Saturday's fight between Paddy Pimblett and Jared Gordon has the MMA world up in arms.
Some are calling for the UFC to rescind or change the decision, while others are demanding a rematch with fair judging that doesn't cater to the league's next poster boy.
And our friends at SportsBetting.ag aren't waiting around to post new odds on a Pimblett-Gordon rematch.
SportsBetting.ag set odds on a Pimblett-Gordon rematch, and they are much tighter than what the closing line was for UFC 282. Pimblett went off as a -260 favorite while Gordon was a +220 underdog.
Here are the Pimblett vs. Gordon II odds:
Paddy Pimblett -140
Jared Gordon +120
Twitter went crazy after Pimblett (20-3 MMA, 4-0 UFC) continued the unbeaten run in this past Saturday's co-main event of UFC 282 as he won by decision. Pimblett attempted to defend the controversial win as most media and fellow fighters scored the fight against the Brit.
“Everyone’s got an opinion, lad. Opinions are like a**holes: Everyone’s got one,” Pimblett told MMA Junkie and other reporters post-fight at UFC 282. “I know I won that fight. Simple as (that). I deal in facts, and I won a unanimous decision. It’s not like it was a split decision. Look at his face and look at mine. Fights get scored on damage now. I landed a lot more damage. End of (story).
“I’m me, lad. Just ’cause it’s me – I don’t know. I was sitting next to Dominick Cruz before, and I said to him, ‘Control time means nothing. It’s about damage.’ Look at my face. Look at his. I’ve got the little green marker next to my name, so everyone else can suck me a**hole.”
Gordon (19 - 6 - 0) remained devastated by the outcome.
"It’s probably one of the worst decisions ever," he said.
“It’s heartbreaking,” Gordon told MMA Fighting. “I’m devastated. But there’s nothing I can do obviously. We’ll see what comes with it.”
