Will Pimblett be the Dricus du Plessis of the lightweight division?

[AMAZINGUFC]

We're rooting for this guy to get the beating he deserves, but he submits Green, will face the washed-up Chandler and then fight for the belt.

If the stars align, he'll win and we'll all have to suck on that mango
we'll all have to eat crow.




What would be your reaction if that happened?

-----------------
I confess I'm already afraid of this plague repeating itself, of lightning striking twice in the same place, although Dricus is a beloved fighter(or much less repugnant) and not a detestable one.

Honestly not a crazy comparison, both looked goofy and sloppy early on but both have great finishing ability and are big and strong for their division. The difference is that middleweight is a worse division than lightweight so Paddy isn't gonna just goof his way to wins over arman/islam/charles

 

[Neck&Neck]

Paddy is the truth
*He’s more a Prince, than a King like Dricus

 

[andgonsil]

DDP vs Whittaker was the ultimate unexpected outcome

DDP became elite overnight

[Hymen Crusher]

I doubt it.

 

[Chaotic Progressor]

Chandler would probably still knock him out.

 

[KarateYeah]

No

 

[KarateYeah]

No

 

[subtlySteve]

Paddy and Renato have been exchanging words, and Renato tweeted at Dana to book the fight already.

Watch Chandler fumble it and get choked out.

DDP was the KSW champion before he came to the UFC. He was a much better prospect and a significantly higher level fighter for nearly every stage of their career.

DDP was the KSW champion before he came to the UFC. He looked nothing like Paddy. He was a much better prospect and a significantly higher level fighter for nearly every stage of their career.

I know DDP knocked out soldic on the regional scene but man he looked really shit in the UFC prior to the whittaker fight. Dricus did a lateral drop on Darren till and ended up failing the takedown and letting Darren till get into mount against him, he looked like a goofball in there

Islam got ko'd by some bum

 

[McGeezle]

Watch Chandler fumble it and get choked out.

He'll have paddy rocked and yet again see it as an opportunity to do a ridiculous WWE slam and speedrun his gas tank to hype the crowd up

into a triangle

 

[usernamee]

I keep warming up more and more to Paddy.. I'm rooting for him in this one

Sure, but even then beating Darren Till is better than beating Bobby Green (who is also past his prime).

 

[JonnyBonesPharmacist]

Me to. Paddy beats Chandler, then Moicano

 

[wufabufa]

I don't think Paddy has the same physical abilities as Dricus. Skill wise they may be on par, but Dricus is strong as fuck for the division and fights like he's possessed.
