Paddy is not legit unless he beats Islam

[Mike]

You're right it's too bad they can't do something like have him fight anyone other than old guys on losing streaks that happen to still have name value. What can you do, matchmaking is hard when you wanna baby and protect guys

TS needs to beat Islam in order to be legit in my opinion.

If he beats Poirier then it's because Dustin is washed up and 37 and will have lost 4 of his last 6 fights...

If he beats Gaethje then it's because Gaethje is washed up and 37 and will have lost 4 of his last 8 fights...

If he beats Charles then it's because Charles is washed up and 36 and will have lost 3 out of his last 5 fights...

Am I doing this sherbro logic right?

It sounds like Paddy is only legit if he beats Islam.

Islam is not legit unless he beats McGregor and LKhabib

Everyone needs to push for Covington to have to fight MVP.

Everyone needs to push for Covington to get cut

Tbf the LW division is atrocious.The top contenders are all way past their prime and have taken some insane brutal beatings. Poirier is indeed old and retiring. Gaethje is old and just got KTFO by a FW. Charles is old and already got destroyed by Islam. Arman is smaller than Rogan and a bum. There is no one to fight for the belt or no impressive win to get anyway by Paddy. Just give Topuria the title shot and let Paddy fight Arman for the number 1 contender. The divison is mediocre anyway…

Eh, all of those guys are still worthy opponents. Non rely too much on their physical traits, they are just savy everywhere.

 

[AstralPanda]

OP is unironically correct.

I still don't think paddy is that good. SRS.

He's good. Your fight iq isn't.

Literally none of those guys actually look old in the cage.

That matters more than a number on their wikipedia profile.

In a few years, it will be an aged division, for now it's still strong.

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

So no one at 155 is legit because they can't beat Islam? Noted.

Adriano Martins the only legit LW ever

 

[NoSmilez]

Paddy is still a year away from a title shot. A lot can happen during that time.

 

[doggo]

Love it. But IF Paddy beats Islam it's because Islam is old and washed

Depends how he beats him, if its early KO he got lucky, if its domination Islam is old and washed.

Good point.
