War Wagon Gaethje walks through Paddy.

Gaethje fought him in 2021.

Chandler has had several fights since.. so you don't believe a 39 year old LW may be in decline ?
Sure, just like 37 year old Justin.

You sound like a female superfan still reeling from that Holloway shadow-realming.

Right, you're actually a idiot. 🤣

Having a differing opinion on this fight while you repeatedly move the goalposts ddoesn't make me a "superfan".

Gaethje actually has a win this year against Fiziev, which would be the best on Pimblett's record.. he may have declined, but Justin can functionally win against the top 10 unlike Chandler.

Fiziev is a part-time muay thai fighter. Give your head a shake.
 
Which fight? I mentioned two. But the story most people are saying on here is that Chandler was washed when he came to the UFC, or at least he was after the first Gaethje fight.

How in the world did old/washed/useless Chandler last 5 rounds against Oliveira? That's the only 5-round fight Charles has had in almost 50 matches.

Chandler's fight v. Charles might have broken the all time record for cheats in a fight

Tony is a corpse, Chandler is washed and Bobby Green a perennial gatekeeper..

Unironically these have more basis than your "criticism" of Fiziev.

Pretty much all in one round. Chandler's cheating had nothing to do with him surviving on the ground for long periods of the fight--something Gaethje, Gamrot, Porier and many others weren't able to do.
 
Paddy is for REAL
I think so too. Paddy seems like kind of guy that finds a way to win. You've gotta take him down and hold him down, or completely KO him. He looks like cuts a massive amount of weight.

I think Topuria and Arman both beat him, but Gaethje seems like his best days are behind him.
 
Gaethje is old and youth will prevail. Unless. Paddy has a brutal weight cut where he looks like T-City in the scales. I expect Gaethje to crumble.
 
I don't know if I really agree, brother.

He's been getting hurt and wobbled with headshots since his debut against Michael Johnson.

Only 3 KO losses, but he had to take heavy, sustained damage in those fights before he went out.

And then Max had beat the crap out of him, had him tired and hurt, and just completely ignoring defense when he finally KOd him.

I don't really know if Paddy is even a good enough striker to KO him like others have to be honest.

I could be wrong. Hell, I am an old married guy so that is my default setting. :)
I know Max beat the crap out of him but I seem to remember Max staggering him in the first. Holloway is not exactly a power puncher. Great fighter, though.

Not impressed with Paddy's striking at all. Perhaps I am worrying over nothing.
 
Chandler is a good win for anybody. Justin went life and death with him standing up. Paddy dominated and finished him.

Your brain is shot.

That math ain’t mathing considering Paddy fought him 4 years and several beatdowns later. Your brain may be indeed shot.

The striking is a moot point if Paddy can take it to the ground as easily as he did vs. Chandler. I mean Justin could land a KO in the first 2 minutes, but he hasn't done that since 2019 when he was fighting guys with either terrible or heavily damaged chins (James Vick, Cerrone, etc.). Paddy's chin has looked very solid so far. And Paddy will look at least one weight class bigger. He looked about 2 weight classes larger than Chandler.

So people are assuming Chandler has aged rapidly since fighting Justin in 2021...while Justin has basically stopped aging? I need to start taking Gaethje's supplements if that's the case.

Paddy got rocked against Jordan Leavitt of all people for what it’s worth.
 
Hopefully I'm wrong, but it feels like Justin cracks that chin within 2 minutes.
paddy has bad defense. They are going to brawl. were going to see how good of a nail paddy really is. He played the nail well in the luigi vendremini fight, Lets see if he can dig deep and replicate it at the highest levels.
 
You sound like a super casual. Top 10 fighters are “nobody”? I also don’t think you know what “literal” means. Which either means youre brain dead or were just born stupid
Just starting into the UFC eh? Top 10 lol
