Dustin Poirier: 'Legit' Paddy Pimblett Can Be UFC Champion

[laleggenda27]

Like many people, Dustin is overvaluing Paddy's win over Chandler because he's underestimating how washed Chandler is. The guy is 39, which is ancient for LW, and has been absolutely battered in 5 out of his last 6 fights.

even the lead up to that fight would be exciting.

You have totally fair points, but I think some added context rounds it out - Chandler likely beats guys who don't belong in the top 10.

This is the perfect thread to leave this here. This is what they're calling the German Paddy but on steroids.

Paddy Pimblett if he was half orc lmao

Probably, but we kinda don't know that since Chandler never fought an up and comer before Paddy. I do believe Paddy has improved, but Chandler has declined just as much. Just look how fast Chandler started to gas, that's a huge red flag imo.

I knew there was a reason why Dustin is a bit slow, guy was doing gas.
