Guida or Miller well known vets. Green too but he would be harder. Anyone above him to improve his ranking. Another win would be good before jumping to high.

Looking at that list, it looks to me that he’s nearing his ceiling as I don’t see many above him that are particularly safe fights. I think he mentioned Jared Gordon on the post fight show. That’s a relatively safe fight as Gordon is a well rounded but pretty average at everything.

 

[OrbidlyMobese]

Not many there I see him winning.

Regards.

 

[GilErick]

It’s time to bring back Diego Sanchez

 

[BFoe]

I want this one next.

 

[STAY GOLD]

Big fan of Paddy, but keep him as far away from wrestlers with sub. defense as possible.

 

[Dingaling]

Jim Miller, Michael Johnson or Clay Guida

 

[Ozze]

Carneiro. Could make a good stand up battle for fans but has a weak chin.

 

[BigTruck]

I want this one next.

That guy fights like 1x a year max. Been in the UFC for 10 years and has only 10 fights for them.

 

[BigTruck]

Jim Miller, Michael Johnson or Clay Guida

I'd like clay, miller and Johnson would beat him at this moment.

 

[Evbo]

Him vs Haqparast would be a damn fun fight, as would Solecki. L Santos is probably beatable for Paddy

 

[BFoe]

Then this should be #11.

Yeah I say Bobby Green, ain't no way in hell he's accepting a fight with guida or miller that would literally do nothing for his career.

 

[kingghidrah]

Conor McGregor

 

[RockyLockridge]

jim miller

 

[chinarice]

I would have thought Pichel but he's already booked.

 

[BFoe]

Aw shit I didn’t realize that. I’d really Paddy vs Pichel next.
Maybe Nasrat Haqparast then?

 

[Hdfi]

Leonardo Santos
