UFC 282 Reaction: Highway Robberies

TSC News TV host Fred Richani reacts to the horrific results of the UFC 282 main event and co-main event. In the UFC 282 main event, Jan Blachowicz vs. Magomed Ankalaev was scored a split draw, despite Ankalaev clearly winning the fight. Blachowicz even admitted after the fight that he thought Ankalaev had won. The UFC light heavyweight championship remains vacant for now. In the UFC 282 co-main event, Paddy Pimblett was gifted a unanimous decision win (29-28 across the board) over Jared Gordon in a fight he very obviously lost. Between UFC 282 and Bellator 289, it has not been a good weekend for MMA judging to say the least.
