Watch how the MMA pros reacted to the scorecard decision Buddy Pemblitt made by defeating Jared Gordon.
At UFC 282, Buddy Pemblitt faced Jared Gordon in a lightweight bout. The first round featured some heavy blows hit by both men and an attempted takedown by Pemblett, but neither man was able to gain the upper hand, until the second round.
Gordon landed a few big jabs on Pemblett to start the second round. Gordon played Pemblett on defense through most of the early going of the second round and Pemblett did his best to stay out. Gordon did his best during the second round to hold down Pemblett and land some big jabs as well. However, Pemblett fought back at the end of the second round and forced Gordon to back down. Pemblett was able to pull off the third round and the momentum seemed to be building towards that round.
In the third round, we saw Gordon quickly go on offense when he tried to corner Pemblett. Evidently both men were tired by this point and were hanging by a thread. However, both men were able to go the distance. Bumblett went on to defeat Gordon via unanimous decision 29-28. Many professionals and people on MMA Twitter were not happy with this outcome. As the fight draws nearer, it’s easy to see why she’s getting the backlash that she did.
Pimblett and Gordon could have easily secured a match tonight on the UFC 282 card, and it’s easy to see why. It was close, it went the distance and it was just a great fight overall by both men.
