Pimblett beats Topuria to a pulp

[Poatan]

I truly believe that Paddy is going to beat Ilia at every aspect of mma. He will beat Ilia on feet. Hes not going to stand infront of him and just let Ilia punch him repeadedly on face. He will manage distance perfecly and use his lenght to make Ilia hesitate. Wrestling and ground game is Paddys bread and butter and much smaller Ilia doesn’t stand a chance when fight takes place on mat. Oliveira was tailored match up for Ilia but Paddy is different. Hes huge, young and resilient.

And what drew you to this conclusion? The level of competition these two have faced isn't even in the same stratosphere.

 

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

TBT. Paddy will probably visit shadow realm in the KO of the Year.

 

[JKS]

If Paddy is able to apply his wresting and BJJ really well vs the top of the division, like a Gaethje, then I give him a great shot to beat Ilia. In fact, I will favor him over Ilia at that point.

 

[Rampage_Jackson]

He's going to beat him into a living death

 

[FreddieRoachsVoice]

Nice touch with the typos, OP. I particularly liked "repeadedly". 8/10 troll job. Keep it up!

Paddy's biggest win is Chandler and that looked like a fw vs a ww in size.

Yes Chandler tough but he doesn't win in the top 5 they both beat the 40 year old skeleton of Ferguson I think paddy does better style wise vs Islam illia looks like nobody can bang with him

 

[RockyLockridge]

Is it a condition?

 

[Russie]

Dreams man

 

[KO Shotz]

Paddy's best chance against Ilia is to get him on the ground. Unless Paddy has an iron chin, (& we have yet to see Paddy's chin or toughness), I don't see him beating Ilia on the feet.

 

[Neck&Neck]

Just like Oliveira tore him a new one, right OP?

Ilia is the size of a FW and shorter than Chandler.

Still going with Ilia though. Paddy would basically have to keep good distance while still being able to get it to the ground, which sounds tough.

 

[JBJ was here]

Paddy, who eats like a complete slob as soon as weigh ins are over and hits the cage with five pounds of ice cream and Doritos in his intestines will literally be TKOed for shitting his shorts (medical stoppage for "loss of control of bodily function" under the unified rules) if he ever fights Topuria.

 

[The Big Babou]

Nope

Paddy's not yet an elite fighter

While he might be one fight away from aTS, Illia smokes current Paddy

Illia's only weakness is he's small. That's not much of a weakness. I could write a page on Paddy, and despite his improvements, he's likely to get ktfo in the first round.

Also, this is not a merit based fight, I'd rather see it happen after Paddy has a couple more wins

 

[Zyklon R]

The only people that get Kod by Ilia are the ones that are dumb enough to get inside of his range where he can catch you Paddy is way taller and can easily keep him at range would love to see Paddy win that one

 

[Kratos94]

Yeah, Pimblett's striking fundamentals are still pretty shit. Especially his defense and footwork. Watch as Ilia backs him up and crushes him. Pimblett has some of the worst footwork and positioning as he falls apart when he throws or comes against the slightest bit of pressure.

 

[Megatronlee]

Would be cool if he did.

Paddy is what Mickey gall was supposed to be

 

[TriangleMonkey]

But Jared Gordon

 

[Tweak896]

Honestly Paddy deserved it more than Olivera and would do better. But he has to really play his A game to squeak out a win.
