Though he ignored most of the criticism he received following his win over Jared Gordon at UFC 282 this past December, Paddy Pimblett says some of it bothered him.
In what was his toughest UFC test thus far, Pimblett defeated Gordon by unanimous decision, which was received negatively by most of the mixed martial arts community. With the word ‘robbery’ used to describe his win, the ‘Baddy’ said he was ‘pretty pissed off’ that people thought he should have suffered his first UFC loss.
While he disregards comments he received from fans and pundits, Pimblett shared with Mike Bohn of MMA Junkie that the ones from names such as UFC color commentator Joe Rogan and former UFC star Nate Diaz are what bothered him.
