Paddy Pimblett suffered a decision loss to Justin Gaethje in the main event of UFC 324, costing him the UFC Interim Lightweight Title in the process.
A defeated Pimblett has gone back and watched the fight, which has led to him believing that the fight should’ve been a draw.
"I don't want to sound like a sore loser, but that changes the whole fight (had Gaethje been deducted a point for an eye poke)," Pimblett said on his Youtube channel (transcript via Danny Segura of MMA Junkie). "I'll be honest, he hit me afterwards because he hit me and started elbowing me, but I easily win the third round. So imagine if that never happens in the second. ... My depth perception is off, they're shouting at me to get the takedown, but sometimes he looks far away, sometimes he looks close."
Gaethje should be going onto having a title unification fight with UFC Lightweight Champion Islam Makhachev, while Pimblett’s next move has yet to be announced.
Pimblett scored a controversial decision victory over Jared Gordon back in the day and Pimblett says he knows how Gordon felt after the controversy surrounding their fight.
"For me, I win three and five," Pimblett explained. "If got point took off like he should've, lad, that's a draw. I don't want to sound bitter, you can't cry over spilled milk, but I feel a bit. I know how Jared Gordon felt, I'll put it that way. I knew the scorecards weren't going to be in our favor. That's why I did that little, 'I don't know,' to my mom and my dad because I half knew I lost. You can see my eye is bright red there. It should've all been 48-47."
