Jared Gordon calls for London rematch discussions with Paddy Pimblett and Dave Portnoy

Jared Gordon wants a rematch against Paddy Pimblett in the aftermath of their recent bout at UFC 282.

The MMA community was shocked when ‘The Baddy’ was awarded a unanimous decision win against Gordon at UFC 282. ‘Flash’ also believes he should have won. The 34-year-old has now called out Pimblett for a rematch in 2023 while mentioning Barstool Sports' Dave Portnoy. He stated on Twitter:

“With all the controversy with our Fight I'd love to run it back with you in London @theufcbaddy I have no ill will towards you, as a matter of fact I really like you @stoolpresidente maybe we can all work together and between Paddy and I there’s no way we can’t help others and we can beat each other up again in the mean time for everyone’s entertainment! The people want it, and we can settle this on your turf @graham_boylan @aliabdelaziz” [sic]

Gordon is referring to UFC 286, which is scheduled to go down in the O2 Arena in London, England, in March 2023.

Two of Pimblett’s four UFC wins were in the O2 Arena. ‘The Baddy’ also gained most of his popularity from his Cage Warriors run in England. It’ll be intriguing to see if the UFC gives ‘Flash’ a rematch after UFC 282.

Jared Gordon believes his loss to Paddy Pimblett was a robbery

Douglas Crosby, Chris Lee, and Ron McCarthy were the three judges who scored Paddy Pimblett’s win against Jared Gordon 29-28. Although fans tend to exaggerate by calling close fights robberies, Gordon vs. Pimblett left most of the MMA community flabbergasted. ‘Flash’ reacted to the loss on Twitter by saying:

“I was robbed everyone knows it. I can cry about it but I been back from worst and god's plan is the best plan so I know there’s something big to come from it.”

According to MMA Decisions, 23 of 24 media members believe Gordon should have been awarded the win against Pimblett. Despite ‘Flash’ calling out ‘The Baddy’ for a rematch, the UFC could end up scheduling Pimblett against a ranked opponent before Gordon.
