Is Paddy the largest LW ever?

[dog y]

Makes what Chandler did to Hooker, Oliveira, Poirier and Ferguson all the more impressive given how massive they are as lightweights.

Never saw Ferguson or Oliveira as huge LWs. They are lanky sausages

Probably between him and Tibau. Khabib had trouble making LW and he looked small in that fight.

Being the only fighter to lose a round to a skinny Ferguson since 2019 is something to brag about?

To be fair, Tony might have won a round against Nate Diaz (can't remember) but he was finished in that fight, too.

Mike Goldberg told me Gray Maynard weighs 200 lbs in the cage

He never said what it is Gray Maynard was weighing.

 

[HuskySamoan]

Dude looks massive, make his opponents look like average featherweights.

And he isnt scrawny with toothpick legs like that guy who lost to Moicano. Dude is big all around.

Never expected a british fellow to be the best weight cutter in the ufc.

We had Sage Northcutt at 155lbs. Paddy's got a great frame, Im not sure he's bigger than Makhachev. Nah, Paddy isn't the biggest.

He looks like a big MW in there it's crazy.

 

[volcom5]

Nope. These are practically the same weight at this point only differences are the heights and reaches.

 

[Greyscale]

I don't remember Pimblett missing weight as a lightweight.

Nick Diaz, Michael Chiesa, Gleison Tibau

 

[DougieJones]

The guy was built from the mismatched bones rescued from ancient tombs. Have you seen his hands?

Or just whatever they could fish out of the Thames

 

[Weighinin]

BSD is bigger, Chandler is a bloated fw that's why you think Paddy looked like a huge lw.

According to chat GBT, average walking weight (except for Paddy which is too challengint for AI) is:
Islam Makhachev 91kg
Paddy Pimblett 88 (to 95kg)
Joel Álvarez 83kg
Moicano 81kg
Dustin Poirier 81kg
Benoît Saint Denis 80kg

Welp, I stand corrected. AI estimate so it's gotta be true

 

[Ibm]

Grey Maynard was huge but I think Paddy is bigger.

Islam 200 lbs?

 

[Weighinin]

it's an estimation, not the truth. But obviously BSD is not bigger than Paddy, buy glasses.

BSD is a big guy man. He's fought at WW and MW. He'd never make FW and BW like Paddy did.

They're both thick boys at LW and a good height.

Khabib walked around at 200 pounds from what GSP says. Is Paddy that big when he isn't fat?

Khabib is fat at 200 lbs. Not a Khabib defender, I’ve pointed out that he wanted 40 yr old GSP to cut down to 155 while he (Khabib) was in the prime of his life. Walk around weight and in shape weight are 2 different things. GSP always staye in great shape yr round, he never let himself get fat in between fights or even after retiring
