Paddy Still Believe He Beats Illia

[Egészségére!]

Looks like RDA dropped to 15 & bumped Paddy up a spot

He wins in April dude likely breaks into the top 10

 

[HP_Nut]

I honestly believe even Paddy himself no longer believes he can beat Top, and I’m not even a Top fan (was cheering for Max). Top melts Paddy in rd 1

 

[Sasha]

If he actually does, somehow, I’ll retract anything bad I ever said about Patrick, and even allow him to act in a very liverpuldian way in public, for eternity.

 

[C0NCH3TO]

I like Paddy and I appreciate that he’s on the dog. Inoue, Barnett, Baroni used to say hi but too many idiots here scared them away. lol ….

 

[Sasha]

No sure how it started (or maybe I just don’t remember), but they had a back and forth going for a bit. I believe Paddy said something about Georgia and it escalated from there.

Yeah that’s what happened, Jojua too wasn’t happy :

New UFC star Paddy Pimblett already in hot water as fellow fighter Liana Jojua points at xenophobic comments

New UFC signing Paddy Pimblett is already creating enmity between himself and other fighters in the promotion because of allegedly xenophobic comments he made.

Sure he does. In "competitive eating".

 

[ki11ian]

He is supposed to at least pretend he thinks that. Obviously zero sane people on earth agrees with him.

Paddy having the slowest push to the top ten ever, the brass know its over when he steps up.

 

[RichardHarrow]

I can’t stand this guy but honestly if he’s focused and top brass protect him he could break the top 5. Big if. He has good IQ, a ground game, calculated striking and is big for the weight class. Bisping was the same protected British loudmouth that managed to bob and weave his way to a ts and rack up some decent enough wins on heart and commitment alone.

The lighter weight categories are usually more of a murderers row hence why I say top 5. He’s not ever wearing the strap.

 

[Harlekin]

Paddy has a striking defense of 40% against top 15 - 50 guys.
That probably is the worst defense in the top15 all weight classes.
Tony Ferguson has 55%, let that sink in.

It would be very hard for Topuria to miss a punch.
Maybe if the does the slap the guard combo again, we could falsely count the slap as missed punch.

 

[pankrat]

Paddy's big for 155. I think he overwhelms Topuria

Get another hobby

Get another hobby

Paddy by sub after rocking Ilia with a head kick

 

[Chubi]

I like Paddy, and I think he's a legit top grappler, but even though he seems to work a lot on his boxing, his striking is horrendous, both in defense and offense. Ilia by KO.

 

[Natural Order]

Dude got run over by Jared Gordon. Paddy on the meth it appears.

 

[d'Coda]

Yup… added that in. Can’t knock a fighter for being confident in their abilities.

Even when they are completely delusional? I just laugh at Paddy.

 

[haj02]

Paddy is underrated because of 3 reasons

Stupid hair cut
Close fight with Flash Gordon
Stupid walkout

He looked shit until he fought Bobby Green tbh.

 

[Bork Neslar]

He's confident. He believes in himself, like every fighter should do. If you're a lazy, insecure loser you'd never understand that mindset.

 

[wh4tttt]

Paddy on the meth it appears.

It's great for losing weight lol

 

[RockyLockridge]

It'd be cool if this matchup materialised at some point

 

[Xuh]

Topuria knocks him down, then dives straight in to a triangle #AndNew
