What? You really can’t see the talent difference between a top 5 guy who has a ton of highlight reel finishes in dominant fashion compared to a regional level fighter who has his hands full with guys who aren’t even top 20?Dont think hes much worse than Sean O' Malley tbh. I know he' s ranked two or whatever. More talented than Pimblett yes, but many fighters are.
The best guy Paddy can beat is Dan Hooker and maybe Dariush if Paddy is lucky.
But Gordon lost sir. The three people who matter cage side agreed on that.
Paddy absolutely deserves the hype and the UFC push he's getting. There aren't a lot of people on the roster who have his natural charisma. He can make a ton of money fighting the journeyman on the roster. A lot of fighters would love to be on the cards he's on. More money for everyone. Not everyone's destined to be the top in the division.
Don’t be falling for Ariel’s conspiracy theories.It's a combination of his last fight and ariel helwani making him look like a moron.
People just hating on him. Go Paddy
UFC made everyone think he was more skilled than he really was. Paddy's a fun action fighter but he's not top 15 material, let alone champ material. looking at the lightweight top 15, who do you honestly think Paddy could beat? maaaybe Hooker if he happens to get lucky and catch him in a submission, or maaaybe Moicano if he gets a lucky hard punch in there. Drew Dober was rumored to be a potential opponent - i cant see Paddy beating him at all and in fact i think Dober would put him out cold.
the guy just needs to realize who he is. ill paraphrase Dober and say that Paddy has a lot of growing and maturing to do.
"hating" is just another term insecure people use to deflect legitimate criticism.
i didnt ignore it, i just believe youre wrong. which is why i said that dismissing everything as "hating" is not valid. Paddy has said shit which has not only been dumb, its rubbed fans the wrong way. is it really a good idea to simp that hard in front of Dana, or to go after Ariel that much? Paddy has to realize who he is, as ive said. he'll hopefully become more mature going forward. but who knows, celebrity can fuck with peoples' ego.Ironic that you make this point and ignore the substance of my post.

Mainly because he's not going to go on a KO streak against top 5 opponents and win 2 belts. there are a lot of things not directly related to fighting that help your marketability, but winning will always be #1. This guy is not the real deal.Conor became a star pretty fast. He’ll never reach Conor level stardom
Both guys should beat Paddy but I could see Paddy going full spaz vs Dariush and starching him like Hernandez did if he's lucky.Dariush really? I’ll go ahead and say both Hooker and Beneil starch him.
Licked the ass too hard, add to that a robbery and the fact that he has a thin skin and cares way too much about social media and you have a recipe for disaster.
Personally I hope he gets a top 10 or top 5 next, is gonna be hillarious.
