Leading up to the co-main event, UFC 282 couldn’t have gone better. Each of the first ten fights resulted in finish. Not all of them were bangers, but they were all entertaining enough. Then we got to the co-main event... and nothing went right. It wasn’t much of a surprise to see Paddy Pimblett put on a losing performance against Jared Gordon – the Englishman has been heavily protected – but his brashness in the face of what many believed was highway robbery when he was awarded the decision by the judges put a foul stench on everything. Then the main event saw Jan Blachowicz and Magomed Ankalaev put on stinker.
