Quotes
Pimblett: “He mentioned me in his post-fight interview, and he beat my former teammate, I would like to fight Jared Gordon. He beat [Chris Fishgold] so obviously, I would like to beat him and he’s on a three-fight win streak. His last loss was to [Charles] Oliveira."
Gordon told SHAK MMA: “He goes for it. He hits hard, I guess. But so does everyone at this level. He makes a lot of mistakes, and he has a lot of holes. I just have to capitalize on it,” Gordon told SHAK MMA.
“I know he has some quit in him. He’s quit in other fights, and he can’t ever, ever, ever unlearn that. It’s just something he was born with. I’ve never quit, and I never will. You have to literally kill me to quit.”
