War Wagon Gaethje walks through Paddy.

[StewDogg11]

So you're 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.

He was comparing the two wins against Chandler without taking into account Gaethje beat him 4 years earlier. Are you slow?

 

[RockyLockridge]

Based on what? Paddy grappled against both Green and Chandler with great success. Why would he start having wild brawls now?

because gaethje just has a style that sucks people into it.

 

[StewDogg11]

Just starting into the UFC eh? Top 10 lol

Is he not in the top 10 noob?

 

[StewDogg11]

Gaethje finished a prime Tony whereas Paddy gassed out and couldn’t even finish the shopworn version in the midst of a 8 fight losing streak. How’s that for MMAth.

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.

Max was commiting harder to punches than normal. I think he realized he has to at the bigger weight. He realized too late against Dustin the first time.

Justin is weird man. I've watched all his fights a few times each. Dude gets stunned by so much. You'd think with how often it happens that he would then get KOd easily, but somehow he just doesn't.

Getting staggered so easily makes it out like he has a bad chin, but then surviving so much makes it out like he doesn't. Odd fighter.

Sounds like a classic case of ordinary chin but great recovery

I hope I’m wrong but I have a feeling that Gaethje’s gonna look more washed than people expected.

 

[Ares Black]

Yeah gaethje sat out for a year and is closing on 40 with a style that's not made for old age.

Idk the sad thing is how in the hell does Armen get passed up lol.

He's the n1 contendor..

The only reason I can think of is that he missed weight for his title shot and head-butted his last opponent at the face-off.

Pretty unprofessional.

Paddy is better than Fiziev everywhere. He’d strangle Fiziev within 1 round.

That's awesome, gave me a laugh. Thanks, sport.

 

[JohnMandick]

I'm just glad the two best guys are competing for the belt.

Pretty unprofessional.

Didn’t miss weight. Pulled out with a back injury the day before the fight. From personal experience I’ve tweaked my back and have barely been able to walk for a day or two.

He did not weigh in

 

[StewDogg11]

He did not weigh in

That’s not missing weight. Why weigh in when you can’t even walk and obviously aren’t going to fight?

He pulled out because he was not going to be able to make weight due to injuring himself in the process. It was extremely short notice and put the UFC in a difficult situation.

People speculated that it was about weight, but that's all it was: speculation.

I'm not claiming it was or wasn't. I'm saying the official reason was a last minute back injury that would prevent him from FIGHTING, which rendered weighing in pointless.

You’re arguing semantics. He wasn’t going to be able to fight regardless. He pulled out due to injury. Did Tim Means also “miss weight” when he KO’d himself in the sauna?

I am simply speculating why the UFC passed him over for the interim title shot.

He has a history of being unprofessional. Most recently a week ago when he head-butted his opponent before the fight.

 

[Natural Order]

Is he not in the top 10 noob?

Lol at citing UFC top 10 ranking

Yeah. While we are at it so is Olivera. Gets hit bad, pops right back up. Amazing recovery.

 

[MDoza]

Gaethje is 37 yo and couldn’t even walk through Holloway.

Paddy is bigger, stronger, and faster than Holloway.

Gaethje will struggle to close the distance, and swing and miss on big punches all fight.
