Results and highlights from UFC 282: Paddy Pimblett defeats Jared Gordon in a grappling-heavy battle.

Pimblett’s UFC undefeated streak continues with a somewhat controversial decision on Saturday night.

The UFC record of Paddy Pimblett is now stands at 4-0. Pimblett defeated experienced Octagon veteran Jared Gordon in the co-main event of UFC 282 on Saturday in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Gordon made Pimblett pay for his tendency to keep his chin up early and often. Gordon uncorked a series of hard left hooks that drew Pimblett’s iron chin like a magnet. Despite the fact that two judges scored Round 1 in Pimblett’s favor, he generally appeared to land the less impactful strikes. The competition increased in the second stanza. Both players had their moments, and despite landing hard shots, neither was seriously injured. In a toss-up, Pimblett landed slightly more significant and total strikes.
