Several UFC fighters have trolled Paddy Pimblett for his recent rant from the hospital directed at Jared Gordon.
The two fought at UFC 282 and it was a rather lackluster performance from Paddy Pimblett, who controversially won via unanimous decision. Since then, a lot has been said about the same and Paddy Pimblett seems to have had enough of it.
In a recently uploaded video on his YouTube channel, the unranked UFC prospect spoke about his future and seemed open to a rematch against Jared Gordon:
"I want to punch his head in towards the end of the year. I am going to run it back."

It's safe to say that Pimblett's rant has not been well received by some of the UFC fighters. Many fighters, including UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling, Renato Moicano, Johnny Eblen, Bobby Green, and more have reacted to the same:
"I'm not understanding this energy. What did Jared say to deserve this but I'm here for the rematch," said Aljamain Sterling
Bellator middleweight champion Johnny Eblen reacted to Pimblett's rant and said:
"They should run it back & i'd put my money on @jaredflashgordon"

Paddy Pimblett vs. Jared Gordon: What happened in the first fight?
As mentioned earlier, Pimblett took on Jared Gordon at UFC 282 last year. While 'The Baddy' was able to earn a unanimous decision win over the UFC veteran, it didn't come without its fair share of controversy.
Jared Gordon gave Paddy Pimblett the toughest fight of his rather short UFC career. Gordon started off the fight strong and managed to find a home for his left hook on his opponent's chin, and while Pimblett also had his moments in the fight, he didn't seem too comfortable inside the octagon.
In the second round of the fight, 'The Baddy' started finding his rhythm and was more successful in his shots in comparison to Jared Gordon. However, Pimblett was held against the cage for the majority of the third round and despite landing some significant strikes, the Brit barely managed to cause any damage to Gordon.
Despite the fight being very close overall, all three judges scored the bout in favor of Paddy Pimblett, which caused a lot of rifts online, with many suggesting that Jared Gordon was robbed of a clear victory. That said, it will be interesting to see if the two lock horns again.
