Wanted to see the Touporia fight, this is meh...

 

[Kwic]

Pulling for Sherdogger.
Also, congrats to whoever didn't think the heads will be cut like that.

 

[DC23]

Both pretty meh. Paddy takes this.

 

[Lord of the steroids]

Welp paddy's gonna take his first L. He ain't out grappling Jordan.

Thought this might happen. I've got Pimblett - Leavitt's wrestling isn't amazing, and he's not invincible in the grappling department either. He's got no striking at all.

I think Paddy loses round 1 comfortably, round 2 is close, round 3 he wins and takes a split decision that boils the piss.

I don’t think a whole lot of Paddy’s game, but he doesn’t have to grapple with this dude

Haha, yeah. Had to find another source and edit the OP.

 

[Azyy]

This is a decent step up in competition but everyone will shit on Paddy for not fighting a ranked opponent on 12/12

 

[Michael_Kind]

Well paddy isn't going to submit or win grappling with Jordan.
Maybe UFC thinks paddy takes it on the feet.
Maybe it's low risk fight for ufc new star paddy but he for sure could lose this.

 

[Siver!]

This was the opponent I suggested when the rumour was Paddy would be sacrificed to Azaitar!

Love it.

 

[Jose Beehive]

This is a really good matchup imo.

 

[HockeyBjj]

Good moderate step up for paddy. And a fun fighter to pair him against.

 

[Dmac07]

Actually a pretty appropriate match up. Winnable for Paddy, but not a gimme, winning would prove he is at least a mid teir fighter.

 

[Ahmed Masood]

Good step up in competition, but I reckon Paddy will win. His striking and BJJ grappling are superior to Leavitt IMHO

 

[D 1 Wrestler]

Highlight finish for plumpkin

 

[Jackonfire]

This could get interesting if it hits the ground. Both guys are fun to watch. Good match up.

 

[Handsome Goku]

Hope Jordan KOs paddy than he can twerk in front of the London crowd! Cant wait

 

[Ares Black]

As a big Jordan Leavitt fan I absolutely love this matchup.
