Jared Gordon flattened Thiago Moises knocking him out cold in his latest UFC outing.
Gordon, an experienced eight-year UFC veteran, was on the latest Fight Night card in Las Vegas.
The 36-year-old lightweight famously lost to MMA sensation Paddy Pimblett in December 2022, in controversial fashion with many believing he was ‘robbed’.
He pleaded for a rematch at the time but it fell on deaf ears, but fans believe he has now strengthened his case.
Despite having a cut open up early on in the thrilling fight, Gordon landed a booming right hand, which dropped Moises to the canvas.
Gordon then followed up with a shot while he was on the floor, another vicious right hand through the guard.
It immediately knocked Moises out cold, and the referee stopped the contest with Gordon jubilant.
And UFC fans begged for him to now pursue a sequel with ‘The Baddy’.
One wrote: “Please call for Paddy next, you need to right that wrong.”
Another agreed: “It has to be Paddy now, he can beat him.”
A fan even added: “Paddy vs Jared 2, get it done.”
Pimblett is unlikely to entertain any shot against Gordon, given he is now on a far different trajectory.

The risk vs reward of facing the American would also not be likely, given he is currently pursuing the pinnacle of the 155lbs division.
He recently beat Michael Chandler in his career-best victory so far, to continue his unbeaten streak in the UFC.
Bigger and better things appear on the horizon for the 30-year-old, with Gordon now behind in the rankings.
Pimblett will likely now wait to see who wins between Ilia Topuria and Charles Oliveira in their battle for the vacant title.
But Gordon believes fans would be keen to see their sequel given the nature of the defeat.
Gordon said previously: “All of his other opponents, Paddy, like, he destroyed them.
“So what does that say about where I’m at? I’m not trying to pat myself on the back but I don’t think they want to stay away from that fight, me vs Paddy because they saw what I did in the first one.
“I think it would be awesome to fight Paddy in like a co-main or a main event in London or something or in Vegas again.”
