Paddy is mid as shit but they've match made him perfectly and he might be one of those right place right time fighters where he is catching guys on the way out.
Bobby was 38 and suffered a horrific late stoppage KO to Jalin. Ruffy just MURKED him too. He is done.
Chandler also 38 and didn't fight in 2 years until the Charles fight in which he did jackshit for 90% of the fight. Just stood there and fouled his way to a round 5 win. He could be done too.
If Mike looks shot Paddy could win. Then they might give him white belt Gaethje who he could EASILY submit. Then he would get a shot.... This current gen of LW was a massive failure. Ismagulov, Dawson, Benoit, Fiziev, Gamrot, Jalin, Rebecki..... They were supposed to be the next contenders and they've been getting picked off by the generation before them leaving guys in their late 30s to take up the top 10. Paddy could be in prime position to take advantage.
