To his most recent victim in the octagon, Jared Gordon, Paddy Pimblett sent a furious video message from the hospital bed. The Baddy now wants a rematch because their first fight resulted in tremendous controversy. Yet, Gordon also said something cryptic regarding the Brit fighter’s request for a rematch.
With a flawless record of four fights and four victories within just fifteen months since making his UFC debut, Paddy has been a dependable performer inside the cage. After defeating Luigi Vendramini, Kazula Vargas, and Jordan Leavitt, Paddy fought Jared Gordon.

What did Paddy Pimblett say to Jared Gordon from the hospital?
The British lightweight is currently admitted to a hospital as he just had surgery on his ankle. This is the very same injury that the 28-year-old fighter suffered during his UFC 282 bout against the American MMA fighter. However, being hospitalized did not stop The Baddy from making a video to challenge ‘Flash’ for a rematch.
“Yeah, I want to punch his head in toward the end of the year. 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***. ” said Paddy.

Paddy is still unsure when it will be possible for him to return to the octagon. Although the next fight for Gordon is already confirmed. The 34-year-old fighter is scheduled to fight Bobby Green in the upcoming UFC Fight Night on April 22. As Pimblett is expecting to be completely recovered within 6 to 8 weeks, he is looking forward to have a rematch with Gordon after that.
“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.” Paddy added.

How did Jared Gordon reply to Paddy Pimblett?
Jared, after suffering his sixth career defeat in the hands of Paddy, is now only focused on Bobby Green. However, to refute Paddy’s claim that he fought after suffering an injury in the very first round of their UFC 282 bout, Green too made a counter-strike on Twitter.
“Funny thing is going into this fight I had an ankle injury as well, documented by UFC. I couldn’t walk for weeks after our fight too. I get why he’s angry. He knows I won. Like the rest of the world.” Gordon tweeted.
