The unwarranted hype train ends here I guess.

RIP Paddy

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

At least they are giving him strikers... but the Iron Chin is a huge test.

Hard for me to take Paddy here. Curious if the odds are as Dober heavy as I think they'll be.

 

[Tapatio]

Geez, that's a baaad match-up for pimplett. Wonder if he'll be paying Ariel to interview him after he loses?

 

[VanMMA]

Another L for Paddy the Fatty.

War Dober to end the hype

Dober has been tapped 4 times in his last 5 defeats, which I think is an easy statistic to lean on for matchmakers...

But is it really going to get to that with Paddy, who isn't exactly a wrestler like Dariush or Islam or even Efrain Escudero?

Then again, I think several Sherdoggers have made the point that the higher Paddy goes, who do you realistically book him against that is above the last guy?

I don't think any of the top 15 look winnable for Pimblett.

And I think he eventually gets absolutely starched here, but I can see it being a fun fight!

dober should beat the crap out of that lad

[Senzo Tanaka]

A tough as nails guy with a square chin and built like a brickhouse vs. a guy that fights with his chin up and zero defense. This should be fun. Great matchmaking, UFC...

 

[WolverReem]

Guess UFC is done with the Paddy show. It was fun for the casuals and Brits while it lasted

 

[Psychojoe86]

Can't wait for this fight! Dober has been getting likeable recently, but him knocking Paddy out cold will make him a sherdog celebrity lol.

 

[Paulsp]

I can’t see this happening

 

[amok attitude]

Serious test for pimblett

About time

 

[AL-Tappo McSnappo]

Paddy can win this

 

[KID Yamamoto]

Drew is a fucking slugger. Paddy is in major trouble.

 

[SakurabasEar]

I won't count pimblit out here, as he has a reasonable chance to snatch a submission against dober. But he's going to have to survive getting lit up to make it that far since his take downs are pedestrian.

Edge dober
