Paddy Pimblett's angry reaction to the UFC 311 main event was caught on camera.
The lightweight contender watched from the comfort of his own home as 155-pound king Islam Makhachev defended his title with a first-round victory over late replacement Renato Moicano.
Arman Tsarukyan was scheduled to headline UFC 311 but withdrew Friday due to a back injury.
Moicano promised to 'shock the world' when he faced Makhachev on short notice, but he looked outmatched on Saturday night at the Intuit Dome in California.

Paddy Pimblett vapes at Renato Moicano's tap
Paddy Pimblett shared footage of his live reaction to Makhachev vs Moicano on social media.
It showed the 30-year-old was furious at how easily Moicano gave up when he was locked in a D'arce choke by Khabib's protégé Nurgmagomedov, who defeated Dustin Poirier with the same submission at UFC 302 last June.
“It's over,” Pimblett said in the video posted to his Instagram page.
'Ah, did you type so fast, Renato? Go to sleep, boy! Go out on your shield.
“I hate that, you know. You're fucking suffocating, you're not going to break your neck. Go to sleep.
“Second victory in a row for D'arce. That was too easy. It was like half-giving him the sub, boy.
“I thought Renato would fight more than that.”
Pimblett added the caption: “Thanks to Renato for giving him 24 hours notice but come on brother you'll never get that chance again at least put on your shield and go to sleep.”
Paddy Pimblett wants to fight Renato Moicano
Pimblett reached the top 15 by knocking out Bobby Green at UFC 304 in July, and now Chael Sonnen believes two more wins will be enough to give him a shot at Makhachev's title.
'The Baddy has been linked to a fight with Michael Chandler, but there has been no official announcement regarding his next Octagon appearance.
Moicano has always been at the top of his charts. The two men have often exchanged photos on social media, with Pimblett even suggesting they could coach opposite each other on The Ultimate Fighter.
Pimblett's critical response to Moicano's UFC 311 performance will likely spark another feud between them.
It seems like it's only a matter of time before the lightweight duo settles their beef in the cage.
