All was well at UFC 282 leading in to the final two fights of the night.
Both the co-main and main event from Saturday’s venue at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas were met with unfortunate controversy from numerous fans and personnel. Paddy Pimblett took a unanimous decision over Jared Gordon while the vacant promotional light heavyweight championship between Jan Blachowicz and Magomed Ankalaev was contested to a split draw. The debatable decisions ended what had been a night that was nearly historic having started incredibly strong with ten straight stoppages; one short of tying the record for most in a single UFC event.
