Paddy Pimblett's Massive Victory Overshadowed by Judge Outrage

Paddy Pimblett is riding high after scoring the largest victory of his MMA career, defeating Michael Chandler with a brutal third-round TKO at UFC 314 in Miami. The atmosphere in the Octagon was electric as 'The Baddy' celebrated his hard-fought win.

Judges' Scorecards Spark Fury

Despite basking in the glory of his impressive performance, a peek at the judges' scorecards sent Pimblett into a rage. Though he emerged victorious, two out of three judges had Chandler winning the first round, which infuriated the Liverpudlian fighter.

Junichiro Kamijo scored the first two rounds 10-9 in favor of Pimblett, illustrating he was clearly dominating, but Chris Lee and Derek Cleary drew the ire of Pimblett for judging round one against him.

As if that wasn’t enough, Lee also awarded Pimblett a 10-8 in the second round, recognizing his dominance, yet all Pimblett could focus on was the baffling decision over the first round.

Pimblett’s Explosive Reaction

"Two judges gave him the first round, the stupid c—s!" Pimblett vented, voicing the frustrations echoed by fans online. "What the f— was that? I absolutely muftied him!" His fiery reaction captured the mixed emotions of triumph and disbelief.

Backstage Drama with Colby Covington

As if the night couldn’t get more dramatic, Pimblett faced off with Colby Covington during a post-fight interview. The two had a heated exchange that required security to intervene, reminiscent of their months-long online feud.

Pimblett commented on the scuffle, labeling Covington an 'absolute bum' who was desperately trying to stay relevant. "He’s nearly 40 and just came over and started talking trash just because he saw a camera... What a joke!" he exclaimed.

Aiming for Charles Oliveira Next

Following the chaos, Pimblett set his sights on a bout with former champion Charles Oliveira, eager to ascend the ranks in the lightweight division. With his undeniable talent and explosive personality, it's clear that 'The Baddy' is a force to be reckoned with in the UFC.
