I really dont think he win but thay uk fag keeps winning. Ratings wise this is the fight to make.
Not a fucking chance. Patty is high on his own stash after beating a washed chandler. He’s going to be in a fight that’s exponentially harder than he anticipates and Ilia will put his lights out.
Ilia was very close to putting Charles in some really bad spots on the ground and opted to go the harder route.
He’s getting the fight after Ilia called him out.
I think Dana would prefer to have Paddy continue his win streak for awhile longer before he puts him in with Topuria.
Paddy is in a position where it doesn’t matter if he has the title. He’s a draw whether he wins or loses. Especially with the Brits. Chael nailed it when he said that once the audience starts participating in your schtick, you’re golden.
Yeah paddy has his own style. I always root against him but I like watching him fight
Ilia’s grappling is elite.
UFC put out all of his fights and I rewatched them on Friday. At one point he strung about 7 legit submission attempts one after the other on Youseff Zalal in his UFC debut.
He damn near had Oliveira in a fuckin crucifix…
Guy is on another planet with his skills.
I think so too. He made Olivera look bad in the grappling
Absolutely zero chance.
Any time I think of Paddy I think of Dan Hardy. He gets absolutely wrecked.
Win win
I saw Kerry VonErich in Hawaii, that fucker was a giant
Paddy will fight a lot more intelligently than Olivera! Whether he wins or not!
As in, not playing in to Topuria’s hands!
We will see. I will lol if paddy beats Topuria
I saw a post about this earlier. Olivera literally engaged clinching where Topuria is at his strength, being in teh clinch/pocket with those short strikes!
Why teh fuck did Charles allow this!!! Low IQ shit!
Charles always goes for the kill. He landed some good shots I would have really liked to see a few more rounds.
Paddy is smarter he’ll stay on the outside and try to somehow get on top but good luck taking Ilia down
Rankings-wise it has to be Arman Tsarukyan - he’s obv not in favour since his withdrawal in last title opportunity but he was back up for this one
He must’ve cried after making weight as the backup then they bring in Paddy. Topuria even called Arman out specifically “ there’s a guy that’s when it’s time to deliver his back hurts”, Joe - “ you must be talking about Paddy” lol. I hope Arman gets skipped for Paddy, he deserves it for his bs. Plus Paddy vs Topuria is a fun fight , I’m sure Topuria wins it but Paddy has been fun to watch and is much bigger.
You guys are crazy if you think he out grappled Charles. First Charles was hurt and cut. Charles was checking the cut and ilia passed. Charles swept and almost got his leg immediately and ilia did a good job escaping and stood up.
I thought Charles would big brother Topuria in the grappling but it look the opposite to me. Even in the clinch it looked to me that Topiria was getting the better of Charles.
Charles was but and maybe stunned. I saw the leg attacks but I didn’t think he was going to get them.
I was rooting for Charles, but I thought the fight was sort of one sided
Patty is going to get smashed
