MANCHESTER, England – UFC lightweight [autotag]Jared Gordon[/autotag] have recent history with both [autotag]Paddy Pimblett[/autotag] It is [autotag]Green King[/autotag], adding weight to his thoughts on their encounter at UFC 304. In December 2022, Gordon lost a unanimous decision to Pimblett in what many considered a robbery. Four months later, Gordon entered the cage against Green in a fight that ended in a no contest after Green accidentally headbutted Gordon during his submission sequence. On Saturday, Pimblett (21-3 MMA, 5-0 UFC) and Green (32- 15-1 MMA, 13-10-1 UFC) will face off on the main card of UFC 304 at Co-op Live. Gordon doesn’t consider the matchup an easy task for either of them, but he believes Green may have a slightly more difficult job given the circumstances. “It’s a tough fight for both of them,” Gordon, who is in Manchester to support Belal Muhammad, told MMA Junkie on the eve of UFC 304. “As we are here in Manchester, in Paddy’s homeland, I guess you can call This is favoritism, but he definitely has the home field advantage. It’s definitive, put a stamp on it, but I think it’s a fair game for either guy, I think whoever goes out there and sets the pace will set the tone for the rest of the fight and show who will definitely be the winner. Earlier in fight week, Gordon posted a video on X of him and Pimblett sharing a pleasant elevator ride. Gordon said it came out like he thought it was wood. https://twitter.com/JFlashGordonMMA/status/1816206650937860276
