“Congratulations to Paddy this weekend,” the Irishman wrote on the social media. “You do everything right, no matter what anyone says. Excellent performance. Only forward!”
The second most important event in the number event, the lightweight bout between Paddy Pimblett and Jared Gordon went the full distance and ended 29-28 three times in favor of the British, who had no advantage over the American in any of the rounds.
Note that, like McGregor, Pimblett came to the UFC from the British organization Cage Warriors, where he managed to become a featherweight champion.
