I don’t think he’s done, and this could be the step back he needs to build up from and improve. Zane Simon: I’m not a big fan of teens going pro in MMA, and I’m definitely not a fan of them getting thrown into the talent thresher that is the UFC. If that happens, I think Daukaus will be the one with the better gas tank and that this will earn him the rounds he needs for a decision. Rosas seems like a good prospect, but I don’t see a generational talent or other worldly athleticism that the world’s biggest promotion just had to rush and get a special license for him to compete as a minor. Because of that, blows to the head can have a far nastier ( and long lasting impact) against a young brain than one that is beyond adolescence. Chris undeniably talented, but does he have the capacity to get things to the ground and outhustle Rozie? Victor Rodriguez: This could be Mitchell’s ceiling, because he’s not gonna be able to outmuscle Topuria and I frankly don’t think he can hang with him on the feet. On the other side, the problem for Till is that so much of what he does successfully in the cage is bluff and bluster. He can wade in and eat some shots to get the fight to the ground and probably weather that storm, or he can attempt to lull Ponzinibbio to fight at his pace. And I think it’s very dangerous for him to take a fight with someone who certainly appears to be on the come up. This is a no pressure match-up for him him that he can roll into and play the spoiler (something he’s done before). I refuse to accept that Till has the tools for this, and worse still, believe that he’s been figured out since the Masvidal fight.

Pimblett (19-3 MMA, 3-0 UFC) and Gordon (19-5 MMA, 7-4 UFC) will meet on the biggest stage for both fighters when they throw down in the UFC 282 co-main event, but before they do, they had their final faceoff of fight week during Friday’s ceremonial weigh-ins at T-Mobile Arena. [Paddy Pimblett](https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/tag/paddy-pimblett) and [Jared Gordon](https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/tag/jared-gordon) have shown a great respect to each other, but now it’s time to fight.

Combat sports will always require a balance of charismatic personalities, action fights and premier talents. Paddy Pimblett has delivered in abundance in ...

Pimblett is not there yet but beating Gordon is a crucial step to defining himself as a cult of personality for years to come. But if we give him just enough time on this journey up the highway, if he continues to actually work in the gym and he actually gets better, then when he gets to the point where those fights are unavoidable, he's going to win some of them anyway. We're going to give him that and eventually he's going to be who he's going to be." Pimblett's next test is in the form of his most Octagon-experienced opponent to date. Let's give him as much time as we can, reasonably speaking, to see where he ceilings out and he'll get however much better he'll get in that time. But Pimblett refuses to walk in the footsteps of those who came before him. "This is just normal to me," Pimblett told CBS Sports. This is what I was meant to do... "I was born to do this, lad. One of UFC's most significant contributions to McGregor's rise was mindful matchmaking. Their absence from the PPV event stripped the card of much-needed star power and increased the promotional load on Pimblett's shoulders. Combat sports will always require a balance of charismatic personalities, action fights and premier talents.

LAS VEGAS – UFC 282 ceremonial fighter weigh-ins took place Friday, and the fighters came face-to-face one final time before Saturday's event.

The UFC is very close to wrapping up its 2022 season. This weekend's UFC 282 will be the last pay-per-view (and penultimate event) on this year's calendar.

However, the aforementioned Pimblett, Till, and Topuria might be good for some theatrics. Also on the main card we’ve got a banger between Ilia Topuria and Bryce Mitchell, an interesting late replacement duel between Santiago Ponzinibbio and Alex Morono and an appearance by Darren Till, who faces the rising Dricus Du Plessis.

Sean Zerillo breaks down Saturday's UFC 282 pay-per-view card, including his analysis, bets and model projections for all 12 fights.

Still, there is a distinct possibility that Morono squeaks by another (seemingly better opponent) by taking a competitive bout on the scorecards. Depending upon the book, I would recommend a wager on du Plessis by decision at around +352 or better (projected +333). I would have to bet Blachowicz at this price in a pure standup fight. And I wouldn’t necessarily look to play him (for a full bet) past -175. Mitchell is officially 5-0 under the UFC banner, though he did lose to Brad Katona (via submission) on The Ultimate Fighter. And Quarantillo by decision (projected +174, listed +225 at DraftKings) is the only route I’d go in the winning method market. Prime for prime, Ponzinibbio is the clear side in this matchup, especially at this price point. Perrin is willing to wrestle (more than two takedown attempts per round) and has fun scrambling ability. Technically, Shahbazyan is the better fighter everywhere and likely has Lungiambula covered in this matchup skill for skill (aside from raw power). FanDuel lined this flyweight bout as high as -1000 (90.9% implied) to end inside the distance. And perhaps the power/strength advantage is enough to finish those early opportunities at a lower weight class. I project slight value on Koslow’s moneyline (projected +260) and would play that number small to about +285.

Here are the live results and highlights for the UFC 282 co-main event between Paddy Pimblett and Jared Gordon.

Pimblett started to throw elbows and knees while his back was to the cage, and then he found the space he needed to get free. Pimblett was finding success with his leg kicks, and started to land a bit with his hands as the round went on. Pimblett initiated a scramble and found his way on the back with about 30-seconds to go. Gordon escaped the sub and the fight returned the the feet. He also isn’t known for that one-hitter quitter on the feet, but Gordon is always game and is historically someone you have to finish in order to beat. Paddy brings a lot of hype with him, and a lot of eyeballs, but it will be his heart and skills that he must lean on tonight.

SportsLine's Kyle Marley reveals his UFC 282 picks and predictions for Magomed Ankalaev vs. Jan Blachowicz in Las Vegas.

He's also backing a fighter who "is the more dangerous fighter everywhere" to emerge with a dominant victory. "At this level, Mitchell really needs to wrestle and grapple only. In the co-main event, lightweight prospects take the spotlight when Paddy Pimblett (-245) squares off against Jared Gordon (+205). He stopped fellow prospect Jai Herbert in the second round of their March battle. The 28-year-old Arkansas native is coming off a decision win against veteran contender Edson Barboza in March. This fight has become one of the most anticipated on the card in part because both prospects are undefeated and they created additional intrigue by engaging in a war of words throughout this week at various media outings. But the prospect recaptured some of his momentum and fan support behind a second-round stoppage of former title challenger Anthony Smith at UFC 277 in May. But the 39-year-old Polish slugger, who is best known for his massive power and underrated athleticism, came out flat against Teixeira and was submitted in the second round at UFC 267. His first successful defense came against former middleweight champion Israel Adesanya, who was undefeated at the time and aiming to become a two-division champion. The UFC brass decided to go the interim-title route when it became clear that the original main event would be in limbo indefinitely. He watches every single fight for every professional MMA card and does extensive research before each event. But he plans to change that by defeating the No.

Blachowicz can only try to hold on to stop the damage, but the round and the fight ends with Ankalaev turning in a dominant round. Blachowicz then goes to the body with a left and Ankalaev answers with a left head kick. A big overhand right from Ponzinibbio partially lands and then goes to the body with a punch. Ankalaev lands a body kick, a leg kick, and then another front kick. Morono lands a front kick to the body, and Ponzinibbio answers with a punch to the stomach. Pimblett lands a nice knee to the body on the exit and then lets his hands go. A moment later, Ponzinibbio lands a solid right hand and then begins to turn up the pressure. A nice kick to the body finds the mark for Shahbazyan. A nice flurry of punches find the mark for Buckley before the end of the round. Buckley opens up with a leg kick and Curtis answers with one of his own. Saaiman lands a hard knee to the head on the grounded Koslow, prompting a pause in the fight for the illegal blow. Saaiman goes for a hard left hand but Koslow dips under to clinch, and gets a takedown.
