Only Islam gets Islam privilege
Media Paddy is PISSED at Islam for saying he shouldn't get the same chance that Islam once got!

Not even remotely close to the same thing. Atleast green wasn't completely washed when he fought Islam - and he was a short notice replacement to an actual #1 contender fight in Dariush - something that Paddy hasn't even entertained taking (he's ducked Tsarukyan for a #1 contender fight, another guy Islam beat on his comeup).
Oh and Islam also beat Dan Hooker, another short notice replacement when his original opponent RDA fell out.
Is Paddy doing any of this? Or is he just fighting once a year and on the Colby Covington old-man tour except with even more washed and worse fighters?

It's a little different. Islam got to skip the division because top 5 LWs knew they would probably lose. Now, Paddy is getting skipped because the top 5 LWs want their free title shot and squatting on their rank. Maybe it always was squatting, because they seem to get mad when they have to fight outside the usual top 5 matchups.
Paddy is basically frozen because he can't fight anyone above him without waiting until 2026, and everyone below him basically doesn't earn him shit even though he's on a 7 fight win streak. Dude hasn't fought since April this year without anything booked....
1. Islam is at WW
2. Arman missed his title shot, but also turned down a tough fight with Gamrot for a better stylistic matchup with Hooker to earn it again
3. Olivera just lost title shot, but likely didn't want to bounce back with a prime contender
4. Max already called off the rest of 2025 to recover
5. Gaethje is playing the only fight for a title game
6. Paddy was the only one above who even mentioned they wanted another fight before title shot, but he has no options above to earn him one.

Sure let's completely ignore than Paddy ducked a legit #1 contender fight in Tsarukyan who's been calling him out all year.

I blame Ali. Islam probably doesn't know what's happening atm.

The entire Khabib-Islam camp was saying Topuria was ducking Evloev and that he has a ton of worthy contenders he should focus on, they were literally saying that on a loop. You’re an idiot dude lol.
Anthony Burgess created that “slang” by mixing Russian with English in the novel.

What's with all these Dagestani dogs pretending "it's different" as though Paddy isn't also on a long win streak, and over better competition? He legitimately is one of the people owed a title shot.
It's not different. You just appreciate the hypocrisy.

Really? I think Arman has the best resume, should've been the fight. Have to remember Paddy was ranked nothing before April. Then most this year Arman was paying social media to try and stir up Arman vs Topuria since June. Rejected the Gamrot fight and thought weighing in as a backup was enough to earn his spot again.
Okay I did research Paddy called out Arman after the Chandler fight and other occasions. Arman called out Paddy a couple times responding to him.
Guess it's the usual "who did it" game in the UFC. Either UFC, Arman, or Paddy rejected it. Both guys were open to the 2nd half of the year. Honestly have no idea why Paddy and Gaethje only fought once this year, and Arman hasn't fought a single time in 2025. Islam defended in January, Topuria won the title in June, and we don't have another date for a title defense. Paddy and Gaethje aren't booked.
1000% Arman gets a titleshot with Hooker win, he's finally proved he can still show up and win at LW and has the resume. I'm sick of the jam at LW.

i do like how all of this is bc Islam nonchalantly dismissed Paddy as only he does, with Paddy returning a rather butthurt tourettes rant.
Paddy, how about instead of having the husk of Tony, Michael freaking Chandler and Bobby Green are names enough to get a title shot not warranted.
especially when he is using a two year older Bobby green beaten one second faster as the crux of his argument.
who tf doesn't beat Queen Green these days?

Or maybe UFC didn't offer them the fight because the didn't wanted to kill Paddy hype.
Sometimes they do that.

Yeah....
Paddy could be wanting the easiest path to title with 1 fight left until.
Arman could also be wanting the easiest path to title and someone like Hooker is easier than Gamrot/Paddy.
UFC could be trying to lock down their Paddy titleshot to sell Paddy/Topuria, which would sell more than Arman/Topuria
But as usual, we'll never know because everything behind closed doors is hidden by a NDA. Could be anyone.
Paddy is right, but it's also about who Islam beat for the title and then who he defended against. Okay, Moicano wasn't a great defence. Poirier and Oliveira were elite wins, though. Not to mention Hooker and Tsarukyan. Paddy would struggle and likely lose against 3/5 of those guys.

Paddy's schtick is fucken boring and lame as fuck. Scousers don't seem to realise spamming the word 'lad' 3 times a sentence and the odd off-beat 'insult' like sausage doesn't make them trashtalking kings.

Settle down lad. What's got your knickers in a knot, little lad? You sound like a proper sausage.

Topuria is a great fighter. But his nut-huggers, and their hypocrisy, are cringe-inducing.

Yes. UFC tends to do that.
I'm still pissed they didn't book Lopes vs Yair in Mexico and went for Jean Silva instead.
