As others have said i genuinely think Paddy could give Topuria some problems, certainly more then hes had to deal with in his last couple fights.
Uses his length well on the feet, although his standup isnt the best to look at, its pretty effective, he has some nasty calf kicks. He wouldn't just stand and box with ilia, hed look to use knees and kicks, frustrate ilia.
Granite chin, and his ground game both his control when on top and submissions wise is top tier honestly. You've got to obviously fancy Ilia to finish him but its a great matchup IMO. And the beef is real too, which only adds to the entertainment.
Paddy has that wicked mentality that he CAN'T be knocked out. Toppy's in for a battle - as long as it lasts. Looking forward to it.
