AEW star MJF pokes fun at Paddy Pimblett following 'The Baddy's UFC 282 fight
AEW star MJF was in attendance at UFC 282 and was quick to make his thoughts known after witnessing Paddy Pimblett's controversial decision victory. The latter scored a victory out over Jared Gordon in the co-main event.
'The Baddy' was approaching the end of the year pay-per-view in fantastic form, winning each of his first three fights inside the octagon by stoppage before the December event. Despite believing he easily won the fight, the three judges have been ridiculed by the MMA community for gifting the Brit the win.
In a post on social media following the lightweight bout, MJF riled up his feud with Paddy Pimblett by insisting the Scouser shouldn't have gotten his hands raised on the night. He ended his rant by calling the UFC star a "punk bi***":
"What a joke. Paddy lost that fight and you know it... He ran away from me like a punk bi***, too."
What a Joke.
Paddy lost that fight and you know it.

He ran away from me like a punk bitch too.
Ahead of UFC 282, Pimblett and the wrestling prodigy got into a heated confrontation, exchanging words on social media with one another. The pair seemingly couldn't wait to see each other when they were both in Vegas, though that didn't come to fruition.
Maxwell Jacob Friedman is arguably one of the most talked about professional wrestlers this year. He always manages to find himself in the headlines for his ability to captivate fans with his excellent mic skills and in-ring performances.
After enduring feuds with CM Punk, Wardlow, and Darby Allin, MJF finally managed to get his hands on the AEW World Championship, cheating his way to victory in a clash against Jon Moxley.
Despite the win, where did Paddy Pimblett struggle at UFC 282?
Paddy Pimblett is a well-rounded fighter who is capable of finishing opponents on the feet and in grappling exchanges. However, he still has huge holes in his game that will need addressing if he wants to continue in his push toward a ranked spot.
Throughout his time in the UFC, although unbeaten in his four outings, 'The Baddy' has been criticized for being a "hittable" target. This is due to his tendency to keep his chin high in the air whilst throwing his striking combinations.
He has, on many occasions, been caught with heavy strikes due to his poor defensive approach and Jared Gordon took full advantage of that, connecting with huge hooks for the majority of the bout.
