Rumored Ilia Topuria vs Paddy Pimblett

[Pharenheit]

Paddy gets sparked and KTFO. Can’t see this ending any other way

 

[Harlekin]

To be fair Topuria knocks all 3 Gaethje, Paddy and Arman out in the first.
They all lack defense and Paddy and Arman even proper offense.
They have 43-53% defense stats, that's just a disaster against someone with knockout power.

 

[Hymen Crusher]

Arman needs to fight again. You cant miss weight, ruin a main event the way he did and then step in against the biggest guy the ufc has right now. He never fights, other Russian fighters make fun of armans activity level

 

[wrb]

Easy win for Topuria

Go watch Paddy vs Chandler. Yes, Paddy fought from a long range and less "brawly" but he took some hard blows anyway.

Topuria will connect easily and ko the soul out of him

JOsh was not knocked out, why do people think he can KO people who are young and have chin. Josh is not even young!

 

[Georgetowns]

According to Arman Tsarukyan..

The right fight to make? It's definitely the "biggest"

BUM Arman, pullout-merchant, split decision vs Oliviera, no fight for almost 2 years. Can we just send him PFL please. Dude is a frog.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

would be a joke if Paddy gets a TS

 

[mmacool]

Paddys chin gets tested by a lot of clean shots....

 

[Alpha_T83]

Sounds like Arman is just speculating here.

And yet in 51 pro fights, they have 1 KO loss between them.

I'll give you and hint here, big grappling advantage.

How many KO losses did Max Holloway have before fighting Illia?

 

[Trabaho]

I still think it's Gaethje. If Ilia's going to move up to fight Islam next, it makes more sense to not risk Paddy's stock with a potential beatdown and have him in line for the next TS.

At this point there's a chance Paddy loses to any ranked guy and they don't get a title fight out of him. Oaddy Ilia can be hyped with the old bottle beef and they both like to trash talk. Paddy is young. He can get more title shots. Always strike the iron while it's hot. Justin will be angry at this, but the company also shows they have the last say.

 

[Koro_11]

Gaethje is getting the fight. So dont worry.

This is the same armen who was "70% sure" he was getting a title shot, before saying 2 weeks later he's given up on a title shot LMAOOOOO

This clueless douchebag doesn't know whats going on at all

Gaetjhe will get oil checked too... him, Poirier, Chandler, Holloway, Charles, Hooker... these guys are all done as serious contenders man, it's time for the division to move on.

 

[santiago]

Faddy getting the PRIV again, huh?!

There might be a grappling advantage, there might be not.
But it's not a big one.
Also Gaethje isn't a great mma wrestler.

JOsh was not knocked out, why do people think he can KO people who are young and have chin. Josh is not even young!

True, but Emmet took everything except the kitchen sink and presented knockout danger.
Which Paddy and Arman do not. Grappling threat though.
Josh took everything in the UFC except a lil heathen ellbow.
Despite being way past his prime at 40, Emmet actually has a way higher defense rating than the other 3.
Fighting at a high level for like 10 years.


Ah let's see what happens
Will be fun most likely.

Paddy and Ilia is easy to sell, no doubt. I'm fine with either fight. But throwing Gaethjes career away without cashing in one last time and doing him a solid is bad business. If they just gave Poirier his own numbered UFC event, I don't see them doing Justin dirty at this point, he's been the same fan favorite warrior for the company that DP was. And this is acknowledging he hasn't technically "earned" the TS.

No Justin has 1/3 of Dustins fights. Noone is telling Justin to retire. He is "extorting" the UFC for a title shot. As in give me a shot or I'll retire.

Nobody cares how many fights he has, that has nothing to do with anything. And yes when athletes get old, they retire. Obviously he wants a ts. Why would he stick around for anything else at this point? He isn't "extorting" anything, its standard negotiating.
