Paddy Still Believe He Beats Illia

[Rapa]

Paddy is fat bitch so who cares what he thinks

I think people are far too fast dismissing Paddy.
I mean, I am skeptical and by no way I am claiming he would win (or even be the favorite).
But he IS 22-3 which is not a bad record, and he did beat 2 solid guys in Tony and Green.
So while I don't think he is favorite, I do think he may be more game than many realize.

Paddy is now 6-0 in the UFC and he put on an absolute master class destroying Bobby Green in one round.

He's much bigger than Topuria and when will you people learn styles make fights. This would be VERY fun at 155lbs, should it ever happen. I would call Paddy a live dog if it happened today.

Imagine the meltdown if Paddy were to beat him though lol

That's the beautiful thing about this sport... It could very well happen. GSP/Serra 1 is all the proof you need.

He legit believes he has better hands and boxing

 

[chillyoo]

Paddy is a problem on the ground.

Doesn’t have the traditional takedowns to get him down though.

I like Paddy's chances against anyone. The man is an animal. However Ilia is a very good boxer.

Imagine being promoted because of your accent, and over the course of the years fully believing you are actually good.

Some people also believe in the tooth fairy

 

[Lee Danger]

if he actually does it i already know that it'll be a complete fluke.

Not competitive. They're not on the same level. Ilia takes the sport serious and is highly disciplined and dedicated.

To be honest so does Paddy. Paddy has people fooled with his jokes. But Illia is on a different level and would work Paddy.

I still think Illia lights him up on the feet. Paddy may have more success grappling wise due to being quite a bit bigger but it's not like Illia is a slouch there either.

He's no slouch but Paddy is a huge LW. Carrying his weight around for multiple rounds is going to sap a lot of power from Topuria. Topuria needs an early KO or he's going to get washed against the big boys like Paddy and Islam.

I was a doubter but not anymore

He beats Ilia for his LW debut and gets a title shot to dethrone Islam after

Welcome to the Baddy era sherbros

Same here.

Paddy is big and dominating on the ground. If illia doesn't get a KO early, there's no way he carries the same amount of power after having his energy sapped by fending off paddy on the ground.

I think people are wildly under estimating paddy. He said he's absolutely taking his diet and training more seriously since his kids were born.

They all point to his win over Chandler as not a big deal because of all of Chandler's losses.

What they fail to see is the way in which Paddy absolutely dominated Chandler. It's not about the fact that Paddy won, it's the way he did it.

I can't wait to see Sherdog melt down if they make this fight and paddy wins. So much funner rooting for the underdog.

 

[snugglecakes]

what if he can? People still have selective memory of mcdonalds paddy. He's looked ever improving after cleaning up his lifestyle. WHat has Illia done at lightweight thus far other than turn down fights, thinking he's entitled to an insta title shot?

 

[BangBang]

Ilia is too weak for Paddy. Just you wait.

 

[KungFuCow]

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 ….

Man, I havent seen a green poster in a long time. Its good to know there are still a few here.

 

[Lee Danger]

last posts are recency bias incarnated.
Max and Volk's scalps > Chandler and Green's

 

[Chaotic Progressor]

Could well do. He has decent boxing, great kicks and superb sub game. And looks a lot bigger.

Honestly needs to work on his defence though. 'scousers don't get knocked out!', tell that to Darren Till :/

He's gonna get caught by the wrong guy one day.

Although could be like a Conor situation at featherweight, where his chin looked great because the guys were too small. Paddy looks a lot bigger than most LWs in there, so could just be too small for him, I'd like to see him WW.
