Do you think Paddy Pimblett will ever become a UFC LW champion someday?

[don't ask]

No, but he will by the UFC HW champion within a year or two.

 

[Mike]

Voted not top 5. He just isn't that good and they can't keep feeding him scrubs and last prime guys forever.

 

[Zanmato]

Maybe the same way that John Goodman won the gold in King Ralph

 

[Bubzeh]

No chance.

 

[Guy LeDouche]

If he does.
It’ll be very very manufactured. Because nothing Paddy Pimblett has shown us has given champion material

 

[joy2day]

Those who are dedicated to sport are the great ones and the champs.

Getting fat between fights is a sign of lack of dedication.

 

[Harlekin]

Top 5 of today rapes him. Then we got Dan Hooker at 6 who doesn't belong there one bit
But there are some old guys and he could slap on another choke on somebody.
Dariush and Moicano aren't old enough yet at 35. He will wait a little bit more.
Chandler is 38, but still too good for him.
Hooker has too solid tdd and more effective striking

Right now there is no really winnable fight for Paddy to go forward.
Maybe BSD if he shows that he really has no gas tank.
Not a big reward at #12, but they could make some money with england vs france. People can get cheap flights for that.

They have to give him a lower ranked guy, replace that one on short notice with somebody higher ranked not training.

About a 30% chance

To be honest Paddy just turned 30 and in his last 2 fights his striking looked much better that gave him the opportunity to use his explosive grappling.

I put IDK... but if he keeps improving... i could see him beating someone like Hooker, or Olive Oil.. wouldn't favor him today but In 2 years of improvement and 2 years of them getting older?

 

[Fergelmince]

He's 30 and hasn't had a significant win. That bobby green fight told his fans nothing besides Pimblett can take advantage of an egregious mistake, but that was by no means an impressive win. Can he work his way to a title fight in the next 2 years when he's 32yo? I don't think so. Then what?

 

[mmacool]

he could be an entertaining long lasting champion at cage warriors..skill wise

 

[sickness666]

At the moment I would favor even Old Jim Miller in his 70th fight for the UFC over him. He is, what? 40, 42, that would be near his prefered age of opponents. But guys like this don´t get him into the top 10.

So, not top 5 is my vote. I don´t see him beat anyone of the top guys in there primes, some are even better past their prime. I have not seen anything that would let me think otherwise.
Never seen that fire in him you should have if you want to be a top dog.

 

[MDoza]

He will need some favorable matchmaking and a champ to vacate a belt, but it’s possible.

 

[Jokke]

I think not never someday ever.

 

[ComfortablyNumb55]

He keeps destroying haters.

Truly inspring.

 

[markys00]

Mom look!! I tagged ufc fighter on my karate forum!!!fuck off mom he is human just like us haha

Boooooo! Not funny! Get this nerd off stage!

 

[NoSmilez]

He can do it with the right matchups. He also fights well in the UK.

 

[Neck&Neck]

Paddy will be champ before Khamzat

 

[SuperAlly]

Been in the UFC for three years, had 6 fights, 3 fights in 2022 then only fought once a year since then

So averages 2 fights a year. Seems pretty standard

and still hasnt broke through the rankings but still claims he beats anyone in the top 10.

Does he?

 

[SuperAlly]

Paddy will be champ before Khamzat

I'd certainly offer shorter odds on Paddy being LW champ than Khamzat
