I won the first two, he won the third.’ “In the cage, I thought that he’d won the third. Pimblett added: “I knew I’d won the first two [rounds], people don’t have to tell me.

Paddy Pimblett is "baffled" and "annoyed" after his controversial UFC 282 win over Jared Gordon.

“The control time, in the last round, yeah, he controlled me against the fence, but he didn’t do anything with it. Some people have said to me, they think I won all three rounds, even the third, because he never did anything with the control time. Twenty-three of 24 media outlets scoring the fight gave it to Gordon, with a little less than half giving the American the 30-27 shutout. “But I’ll be honest, I thought I won the first two, and I took the third round off. There’s a likely another conversation ahead about the MMA scoring and how judges look at the action they’re seeing. “Nowadays, fights get scored off damage, and I’ve got a cut lip, that’s it,” he said. The lesson for Pimblett was clear in retrospect: never bank on judges’ interpretation of the action. “You don’t see that at all from any others, because it’s 15 minutes long.” Whatever the split for and against him, the unanimous decision was the inescapable fact for the U.K. “I’m bit annoyed after people saying they thought I lost,” Pimblett said during the UFC 282 post-fight show. I think I was landing the better knees and little short shots in those positions when he had me pushed against the cage.” But I’m 4-0 in the UFC – haters going to hate, you’ve got to get on with it.”

Paddy Pimblett, one of the brightest young stars in MMA, is now 4-0 in the UFC's Octagon. That looks like the recipe for a big step up in competition, ...

Dawson is one of the hottest prospects in the lightweight division right now, with a 19-1-1 record, and seven wins since he joined the UFC—including his own stoppage of Gordon. The second is to throw him to the wolves and risk losing a legitimate pay-per-view attraction to a tough loss. So there's a very real chance the UFC may give him yet another unranked foe. They'll most likely move on from it as soon as possible, probably by booking Pimblett for a main card spot at UFC 286 this March in London. At a glance, that looks like the recipe for a big step up in competition, but it might not be that simple. The Brit ultimately left the cage with a unanimous-decision win, but as a quick scroll through social media will surely reveal to you, it was an extremely controversial verdict.
