There were a few questionable calls in 2022, but none stirred up more controversy than Paddy Pimblett ’s win over Jared Gordon , making it MMA Junkie’s Robbery of the Year. Pimblett (20-3 MMA, 4-0 UFC) faced Gordon in the UFC 282 co-main event – a big spot for Pimblett, who emerged as one of the biggest stars on the roster after just three fights. Although Pimblett impressed with three finishes and three bonuses, the one knock on his resume was his level of competition. Enter Gordon (19-6 MMA, 7-5 UFC), who many widely considered as his toughest test to date – and he absolutely proved to be. Although Gordon lost by unanimous decision , it was a scorecard that was heavily debated by Gordon himself, fellow fighters, media members , and fans. Round 1 was back and forth, with both men landing their shots
