Sean O’Malley believes Paddy Pimblett is at a crossroads following his latest performance at UFC 282.<\/p>\n

Just last Saturday, December 10th, in Las Vegas, Nevada, Paddy Pimblett (20-3 MMA) defeated Jared Gordon (19-6 MMA) by unanimous decision. The win has caused much discussion as several fans and fighters<\/a> alike believed it was Gordon who should have been declared the winner.<\/p>\n

\"Paddy<\/p>\n

Sean O’Malley, 28, is of the opinion that ‘The Baddy’ deserved to win at least one round but certainly not the fight.<\/p>\n

It was during a recent episode of the ‘TimboSugarShow’ that O’Malley discussed what is next for the Liverpudlian saying:<\/p>\n

\u201cI bet Paddy takes away from that fight and goes, \u2018Okay, I need to f*cking dial in\u2019.\u201d This is the time that I need to dial in, not get fat as f*ck, and get more skills\u2019. He has skills, he knows how to perform, he\u2019s not bad. He has a lot of potential\u2026 just where is he going to direct his energy? Is he going to get better or fatter? We\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Quote via: MMA News<\/a><\/p>\n

Perhaps said tongue-and-cheek as Pimblett does has a history of gaining weight following a victory and then getting back into shape when a new match-up is scheduled.<\/p>\n

O\u2019Malley (16-1 MMA) is hot off his own controversial win via split decision against Petr Yan (16-4 MMA) in October of this year at UFC 280. Many believed the Russian did enough to win all three rounds but the judges in Abu Dhabi gave the nod to ‘Sugar’.<\/p>\n

Now, Pimblett is under the same scrutiny and while he believes he won the fight, many beg to differ.<\/p>\n

Regardless, a win is a win – it’s in the books and now both O’Malley and Pimblett are looking for their next opponent.<\/p>\n

Do you agree with Sean O’Malley that Paddy Pimblett needs to get better ‘dialed in’ following his victory at UFC 282?<\/p>\n
