I don’t think he’s done, and this could be the step back he needs to build up from and improve. Zane Simon: I’m not a big fan of teens going pro in MMA, and I’m definitely not a fan of them getting thrown into the talent thresher that is the UFC. If that happens, I think Daukaus will be the one with the better gas tank and that this will earn him the rounds he needs for a decision. Rosas seems like a good prospect, but I don’t see a generational talent or other worldly athleticism that the world’s biggest promotion just had to rush and get a special license for him to compete as a minor. Because of that, blows to the head can have a far nastier ( and long lasting impact) against a young brain than one that is beyond adolescence. Chris undeniably talented, but does he have the capacity to get things to the ground and outhustle Rozie? Victor Rodriguez: This could be Mitchell’s ceiling, because he’s not gonna be able to outmuscle Topuria and I frankly don’t think he can hang with him on the feet. On the other side, the problem for Till is that so much of what he does successfully in the cage is bluff and bluster. He can wade in and eat some shots to get the fight to the ground and probably weather that storm, or he can attempt to lull Ponzinibbio to fight at his pace. And I think it’s very dangerous for him to take a fight with someone who certainly appears to be on the come up. This is a no pressure match-up for him him that he can roll into and play the spoiler (something he’s done before). I refuse to accept that Till has the tools for this, and worse still, believe that he’s been figured out since the Masvidal fight.

Paddy Pimblett and Jared Gordon have shown a great respect to each other heading into UFC 282, but now it's time to fight.

Pimblett is not there yet but beating Gordon is a crucial step to defining himself as a cult of personality for years to come. But if we give him just enough time on this journey up the highway, if he continues to actually work in the gym and he actually gets better, then when he gets to the point where those fights are unavoidable, he's going to win some of them anyway. We're going to give him that and eventually he's going to be who he's going to be." Pimblett's next test is in the form of his most Octagon-experienced opponent to date. Let's give him as much time as we can, reasonably speaking, to see where he ceilings out and he'll get however much better he'll get in that time. But Pimblett refuses to walk in the footsteps of those who came before him. "This is just normal to me," Pimblett told CBS Sports. This is what I was meant to do... "I was born to do this, lad. One of UFC's most significant contributions to McGregor's rise was mindful matchmaking. Their absence from the PPV event stripped the card of much-needed star power and increased the promotional load on Pimblett's shoulders.

Saturday's event, which takes place at T-Mobile Arena, is headlined by a vacant light heavyweight championship fight. The main card airs on pay-per-view ...

Sean Zerillo breaks down Saturday's UFC 282 pay-per-view card, including his analysis, bets and model projections for all 12 fights.

Still, there is a distinct possibility that Morono squeaks by another (seemingly better opponent) by taking a competitive bout on the scorecards. Depending upon the book, I would recommend a wager on du Plessis by decision at around +352 or better (projected +333). I would have to bet Blachowicz at this price in a pure standup fight. And I wouldn’t necessarily look to play him (for a full bet) past -175. Mitchell is officially 5-0 under the UFC banner, though he did lose to Brad Katona (via submission) on The Ultimate Fighter. And Quarantillo by decision (projected +174, listed +225 at DraftKings) is the only route I’d go in the winning method market. Prime for prime, Ponzinibbio is the clear side in this matchup, especially at this price point. Perrin is willing to wrestle (more than two takedown attempts per round) and has fun scrambling ability. Technically, Shahbazyan is the better fighter everywhere and likely has Lungiambula covered in this matchup skill for skill (aside from raw power). FanDuel lined this flyweight bout as high as -1000 (90.9% implied) to end inside the distance. And perhaps the power/strength advantage is enough to finish those early opportunities at a lower weight class. I project slight value on Koslow’s moneyline (projected +260) and would play that number small to about +285.

He's also backing a fighter who "is the more dangerous fighter everywhere" to emerge with a dominant victory. "At this level, Mitchell really needs to wrestle and grapple only. In the co-main event, lightweight prospects take the spotlight when Paddy Pimblett (-245) squares off against Jared Gordon (+205). He stopped fellow prospect Jai Herbert in the second round of their March battle. The 28-year-old Arkansas native is coming off a decision win against veteran contender Edson Barboza in March. This fight has become one of the most anticipated on the card in part because both prospects are undefeated and they created additional intrigue by engaging in a war of words throughout this week at various media outings. But the prospect recaptured some of his momentum and fan support behind a second-round stoppage of former title challenger Anthony Smith at UFC 277 in May. But the 39-year-old Polish slugger, who is best known for his massive power and underrated athleticism, came out flat against Teixeira and was submitted in the second round at UFC 267. His first successful defense came against former middleweight champion Israel Adesanya, who was undefeated at the time and aiming to become a two-division champion. The UFC brass decided to go the interim-title route when it became clear that the original main event would be in limbo indefinitely. He watches every single fight for every professional MMA card and does extensive research before each event. But he plans to change that by defeating the No.

See the top Twitter reactions to Paddy Pimblett's controversial decision victory against Jared Gordon in the UFC 282 co-main event.

He lost if you think he won that fight you’re a fake. The state commission picks and controls the judges in place. This is a marketing skeem bull shit I won the first two rounds and coasted in the third. [@UFC]doesn’t control the judging. Can’t blame the UFC and say “they got Paddy their money train beat”. Too far along for it to be this much of an issue. And a 1-2. And a high kick. [December 11, 2022] It’s a miracle they kept him winning all the way till tonight.

Dricus Du Plessis came out with a blistering start but had to endure a grueling battle before securing a rear-naked choke to beat Darren Till at UFC 282.

With five minutes remaining, Du Plessis was showing more urgency as he began sticking a jab in Till’s face, which backed off the Liverpool native. Till popped the South African fighter with a couple of straight punches that snapped Du Plessis’ head back and the momentum in the fight really began to shift. Another takedown followed with Du Plessis getting the back to begin working for a rear-naked choke while also hammering with punches. From there, Till was forced to roll over to avoid damage and Du Plessis seized the opening to apply a neck crank/rear naked choke that earned him the tap just a split second later. Typical recovery time for an ACL injury in the knee is typically one year or longer. “The gas tank can never be empty,” Du Plessis said after a grueling battle.

Pimblett had his moments in Round 1 but generally appeared to land the less impactful strikes, despite two judges scoring Round 1 in Pimblett's favor. The ...

Pimblett improved to 20-3 as a professional and 4-0 in the UFC with three stoppages. Pimblett also revealed that he injured his foot early in the fight and that he wanted to work with Gordon on supporting charitable efforts. The strike count was low on both ends, but Pimblett landed a handful of solid elbows and knees with his back to the fence. Gordon held Pimblett against the cage for the majority of the round, but he landed barely any strikes of substance. Pimblett has a tendency to keep his chin high and Gordon made him pay for it early and often. All three judges scored the fight 29-28 in favor of Pimblett, but some judges awarded each fighter different rounds.

Yahoo Sports scored it 30-27 for Gordon, but all three judges (Doug Crosby, Chris Lee and Ron McCarthy) had it 29-28 for Pimblett.

The light heavyweight title remained vacant after judges awarded the main event in UFC 282 a controversial draw between third-ranked Jan Blachowicz and No.

He was ahead on the scorecards in a 2018 bout against Paul Craig, but was submitted with a second left. Then Ankalaev took the Polish fighter to the floor with about five seconds left and came out swinging in the fourth. Fighting for the championship was nothing new for Blachowicz, who claimed the belt in September 2020 with a technical knocking of Dominick Reyes. As for the main event, Blachowicz and Ankalaev weren’t expected to be the headliners, but light heavyweight champion Jiri Prochazka dropped out because of a shoulder injury. This was the first time Pimblett has fought into the third round since entering the UFC in September 2021. 3 Blachowicz (29-9-1) walked over to fourth-ranked Ankalaev (18-1-1) and told him he deserved the belt.

Paddy The Baddy Pimblett claimed controversial unanimous decision against experienced American Jared Gordon at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday.

I don't know if I lost the fight, but for sure I'm not the winner," Blachowicz added. I'll need that X-rayed," he said. "Jared is tough, he's a tough man," Pimblett said.

The five-round battle ended in an unsatisfactory manner after many believed Ankalaev had done enough to win.

Pimblett with a nice shot to the body, Gordon responded with a left to the head and knee to the body. Pimblett hit a low kick and Gordon returned fire with a one-two. A huge step in left hook landed for Gordon but Pimblett was unphased. Pimblett immediately took the center, landed a body kick and threw one to the head. Gordon landed a takedown and took the back but was too high and slipped off. Ankalaev pressed forward and landed a decent left straight from the southpaw stance. And now it's time for the final fight of the night. Both guys threw simultaneously with Ankalaev landing a nice right hand on the exit. Ankalaev isolated Blachowicz's leg with a grapevine and softened Ankalaev up with punches. Ankalaev landed a nice overhand right but Blachowicz responded with a hard body kick and more leg strikes. Ankalaev closed the round with a few hard punches. The impact landed by Ankalaev was more severe in the fifth round than it was in the fourth.

The UFC ordered Ankalaev and Blachowicz to fight for the vacant belt and it appeared that Ankalaev had done enough to win. But the judges' couldn't agree ...

In the final round, Till led the action initially, but Du Plessis took the fight to the ground, where he slapped on a rear-naked choke to get the finish.

'Give the belt to Ankalaev': UFC champ's shock admission after 'unbelievable' scoring farce.

“But I don’t know if I am going to fight for this organisation again because honestly I don’t know what just happened. “I can’t choose the judges, but I won this fight, I won this belt,” Ankalaev said. A visibly upset Ankalaev then took to the microphone stating: “I don’t know what to say, I won that fight, why didn’t I get my belt?” via an interpreter.
