Rumored Max Holloway Vs Paddy The Baddy (Title Eliminator)

[Harlekin]

In my head this pans out as the Ortega fight

 

[Hymen Crusher]

Max a few years ago whoops em but now I think he has so much mileage he loses

Can see why but Paddy is a large LW, perhaps the Powah advantage?

I don't see 2025 Max taking LW shots like this so breezily even if he is the far faster dude with more output. Could be wrong .

 

[Elvis.]

This was definitely not a fight I was expecting to be announced

 

[jeff7b9]

Max should be nowhere near another fight with Ilia.

And if this comes with Gaethje getting next title shot leaving Arman at 3rd in line that is something beyond retarded.

 

[Daniel Henry]

I hope this is b.s. I like both fighters don't want to see a loss to either at this point in thier careers

 

[VAfan]

not a bad scrap really. depends entirely on how much max has left in the tank, there's going to come that fight when he suddenly hits the wall.

Who would you rather see them both fight? I personally think Paddy's hardly been thrown to the wolves, would be good to see him face this kinda challenge, plenty others do far earlier in their UFC careers.

Any chance of a Poll? curious to see what the consensus is on who would win @Kowboy On Sherdog

 

[Neck&Neck]

Paddy subs him and Sherdog melts down

Welcome to The Baddy Era

 

[Here's Johnny!]

That would be a great fight!

 

[fortheo]

I think Max styles on him big time.

The only path to victory for paddy would be to wrestle fvck max and try to impliment the jitz. Outside of that if he goes in making it a striking Adair my guess is it looks similar to max vs ortega or max vs Kattar. Meaning the speed and striking variation is going to be at such dramatic levels.

So what was the point of bringing Paddy to the ring to face off with Top? Or was that Rogan going off script and trying to play matchmaker?

Their old beef makes a great talking point.

 

[jeskola]

So after Ilia, Arman, Gamrot and Paddy all win, it's what? Arman next shot, Paddy vs Gamrot for eliminator eliminator?

 

[LincolnHawk1]

Btw I understand why paddy would be motivated for this fight as if he could pull out a w, it would have to make him the next title contender. But that’s my issue with it as I thought he was the next title contender after jumping into cage to do the face off. Why even do that if it wasn’t going to happen? Also I don’t think this is a good fight for paddy.

Really should be Paddy vs Arman, that’s the matchup I really want to see
But I’m no Mick Maynard

 

[Ares Black]

"CONFIRMED" !!!!

But it's not confirmed lol.

What do words even mean, anyway?
