Fans are still reeling from Paddy Pimblett and Jared Gordon’s battle at UFC 282. The end result stunned every Gordon supporter. They were adamant that the verdict was unfair. Following this enormous letdown, the fans also discussed 55-year-old UFC commentator Joe Rogan’s response. He rolled his eyes while standing in the octagon, making it apparent that he disapproved of the victory.

Dave Portnoy made sure Rogan’s opinion on the fight was made clear in episode #1920 of ‘The Joe Rogan Experience‘. Rogan reaffirmed his belief that Paddy would not have won the bout during the conversation with Portnoy. However, since the fight was close, the judges cannot be held accountable. Since scoring can be subjective, it might be difficult to draw a conclusion in close matches.

Joe Rogan: His face said it all

 The fans who were eagerly waiting for the toughest fight between ‘Flash’ and ‘Baddy’ were disappointed. They believed Gordon was the winner and that the judgment was biased. When Paddy Pimblett was declared the winner by Bruce Buffer, something caught the audience’s attention. The scowl on Rogan’s face! When Portnoy inquired about Rogan’s response, he was unafraid to state that he didn’t think Pimblett had won.

 In Rogan’s words, “I thought Jared won. I thought Jared Gordon won that fight. It was a good fight, it certainly wasn’t a blowout. It wasn’t one of those fights where there was no f*cking way, it was a close fight.”

While not entirely blaming the judges in this instance, Rogan does highlight how unpredictable a close bout between two tough fighters can be.
