War Wagon Gaethje walks through Paddy.

[JBJ was here]

I think the opposite is true. Paddy fucks him up and Gaethje retires.

I'm rooting for they fuck each other up, Justin wins, Justin retires. Anything to make this ridiculous booking backfire as spectacularly as possible.

 

[kuroro]

Justin is 37 with a cracked chin and years of wear and tear. This is not the Justin from a few years back, Paddy should be viewed as the favorite.

Holloway looked insane in that fight. Way to give no credit to the winner.

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

on paper gaethje should smoke paddy, but i feel like we are seeing that fighter's fight, where they are never the same again, for any unbeknownst possible reason.

their twilight zone fight, where everything goes wrong, they look like a former shell, and then they never show glimpses of previous glory, while going 0-4 for the next couple of years, before opening a struggling steak restaurant somewhere in nashville.

 

[prime_lobov]

The opposite. Paddy is going to dismantle Gaethje and retire him. Then he’ll finally silence the haters when he unifies the title by beating Hand Sanitizer Boy.

Gaethje is overrated when it comes it to his skillset, his striking is sloppy and him having great wrestling is one the biggest myths on this site, he has okay TDD, thats about. If Pimblett plays it smart pick his shots, use footwork he can win the standup, but Gaethje is always dangerous with his power, so I think Pimblett is going to take him down and sub him.

Holloway looked insane in that fight. Way to give no credit to the winner.

Exactly, people on here were saying Gaethje is going to do what he did to Ferguson to Holloway prior to the bout, idiots probably looked at Holloways back tattoo and somehow thought Holloway was Ferguson. Even prior to his Fiziev bout people on here were already saying he was washed and yet went out and performed. In the end styles makes fights, and Gaethje style isnt really a mystery.

The corpse of Tony Ferguson, Bobby Green and a washed Chandler doesn't suddenly make Pimblett competitive against a legitimate contender.

And getting submitted by Khabib and Charles isn't a slight against Justin's grappling.

I'll admit it if in wrong.

After Paddy gets done with Justin y'all gonna start with the "37 year-old corpse of Gaethje" schtick?

 

[Dorkman]

If Paddy gets trapped on the feet long term he probably loses. But I feel like he's going to be able to get the takedown, and Justin just isn't good working from the bottom. He a classic sprawl and brawl puncher with more refined punching in his later years. But he can only last so long underneath paddy before I think he gets choked. Sure paddy isn't islam levels of a grappler, but he's still very very good at it. While also being huge at the weight class.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Despite how Justin looked against Fiziev, I can't trust choosing him to beat anyone after that life changing beating he took against Max. He's 37 and that is historically a bad age to be at LW. I think Paddy subs him

 

[FilipEmoFights]

Doubt it man Justin had to fight for his life against Chandler whereas Paddy weathered a round of wrestling and then beat the shit out of him in the 2+3d rounds. Paddy will actually mix it up whereas Gaetje likely won’t even try to.

 

[TITS]

You, clearly because you clicked the thread and replied.

 

[wannabetoughguy]

Justin's chin won't hold up and he is too easy to hit.

 

[Koya]

I think Gaethje lost a step and Paddy will beat him this time

 

[w00t]

Hoping Paddy embarrasses the cry baby.

Paddy beats him pretty easily

So, yeah, pretty bad take

Might want to try actual fight analysis rather than Wikipedia analysis.

 

[Kompromat]

Why is everyone saying Justin is old and washed? He performed amazing against Fiziev. Destroyed Dustin. crappy performance was against Max but i'd give slack here cause he had nose broken early by a flukey knee and got double eye poked.

 

[omawho402]

Paddy walks through him. Very confident pick.

Agreed as Islam says it comes down to skills and Gaejthe has consistently fought guys in their prime, including recently

I'd love to see Pimblett win but cant see how he gets past the basic things Gaethje does and his wrestling should keep it standing, I think Gaethje gets a vintage leg kick finish

Pimblett has character but noones buying him jumping 5 spots in the rankings, he needs a fight around his actual ranking (10th) before fighting Gaejthe

 

[legedema]

This is just shit fight.
Why did Arman won the fight against Hooker.does he need another fight to get a shot to the title ?
The winner of Paddy-Justin will fight for the title which means Atmans next fight will be around 1 year later

 

[haj02]

Justin of three/four years ago? Yes. Justin with his chin cracked by Holloway? Absolutely not, Paddy is full of confidence right now and Justin is going to look very chinny in this fight. Dude is 37, was never particularly quick and Paddy is going to beat him to the punch all night long.
