Paddy Pimblett, the renowned UFC fighter, recently underwent ankle surgery after suffering an injury during his intense fight against Jared Gordon at UFC 282 last December.
Despite enduring the pain for a few months, Pimblett finally decided to undergo the surgery to heal his injury. In his hospital bed, Pimblett went on a fiery rant about the fight, expressing his disappointment that he couldn't perform at his best due to his ankle injury.
He strongly believes that if he had not been injured, he would have undoubtedly delivered a much better performance, which would have left no room for controversy or criticism from Jared Gordon and others.
“When I told [doctors] it happened in the first round of a fight, within the first minute, and they said, ‘Oh, did you fight finish there,’ and I was like, ‘No, I’d done another two and a half rounds,’ they went, ‘What?’” Pimblett said in the video, which was uploaded to his YouTube channel. “They said, ‘You should’ve just sat on your stool and not have carried on fighting.’
“I said, ‘Are you mad? You think I’m some p****?’ People are like, ‘Oh, Jared Gordon did so well.’ He only done well because me ankle was f*****. You stupid t***. And he’s just being a bitter little girl, going on every interview site, ‘Oh, I won that fight, I won that fight.’ Well, lad, Joe Solecki beat you [in 2021] but you got a split decision, so shut your mouth.”
Jared Gordon has recently taken to Twitter to respond to Paddy Pimblett's claims about his ankle injury during their UFC 282 bout. In a surprising revelation, Gordon revealed that he, too, had suffered an ankle injury during the fight.
Pimblett's recent surgery to repair his ankle has rekindled his desire to take on Gordon once again. The Baddy, as Pimblett is known to his fans, is eager to have a rematch with Gordon, convinced that he can prove his worth and showcase his full potential now that his ankle is under rehab.
“Yeah, I want to punch his head in toward the end of the year,” Pimblett responded. “I am going to run it back. I hope he beats Bobby Green because I’ll snap his arm for him in a round. Had a boxing match with him and I still won, because you’re s***.
“I hope he watched this. You’re f****** dog s***. At my worst, you couldn’t beat me at your best. Injured, everything going wrong, and you couldn’t beat me on my worst day, and I beat you on your best because you’re a little bum.”
Gordon, who is set to fight Bobby Green on April 22, will undoubtedly be keeping an eye on Pimblett's recovery and his upcoming fights. The prospect of a rematch between the two fighters is sure to excite fans of the sport, who are eagerly anticipating Pimblett's return to the ring.
The rivalry between Pimblett and Gordon promises to be a fierce one, with both fighters eager to prove their mettle and emerge victorious. As the anticipation builds up, fans of the sport can only hope that a rematch between the two fighters will be arranged soon.
