After Paddy wins this one.
Paddy is already the second biggest name in the division. Paddy wants it, Conor would want it and most importantly the UFC would want it too.
Who you got?
I said it was a very possible fight and could be huge down the road like over a year ago and a few UGers had a bit of a meltdown about it and said there was no way Paddy would ever have any business in the cage with Conor. I disagreed and still do.
Don’t think it will be next for Paddy but time will tell.

If Conor loses again, he may try to set up this fight.
What would that do for Conor?
Is Jared Gordon even ranked?
Conor could use a win. At this point you’d have to wonder if there is anyone in the top 10 he could beat. Paddy is the next best thing.
I wonder what the odds would be, no way Conor would be a 3-1 favorite, maybe a 2-1
He could beat guys like Michael Chandler, RDA, Fiziev, Gamrot, Dan Hooker
ufc gives him platform and promotes his products? conor takes dive(prob he would lose it on his own lol) and makes another star for ufc, but from my perspective paddy cant and wont be that guy
Conor vs Walmart Conor

Conor’s last fight was against #2 ranked LW.
No way he returns to fight an unranked LW. Makes zero sense.
Can’t tell if you are serious. All those fights are horrible match ups for Conor. Hookers chin is going out and RDA might be aging but gamrot, chandler and Fiziev are nightmare matches for him. Gamrot beats him like Khabib. Chandler is about as bad of a match up there is for him. An explosive wrestler with ko power? I think if he stays to a takedown heavy gameplan, that it gets real ugly for Conor real quick unless he’s somehow fixed his cardio while not being able to walk.
But I’m wrong a lot
I think Chandler is ripe for picking

I dont think McGregor could make 155.Id favor Paddy if they did fight.McGregors been away from the sport too long.
Chandler would make more sence for Paddy if he wins against Gordon But ff I was Paddy id rather face Poirier where he would have more to gain by winning than Chandler

Even Conor headlining a UK PPV with Paddy fighting in the co-main would be massive.
KSW holds the Euro attendance record for MMA and UFC could easily beat that record if they felt like bothering with big attendance but going after big facilities for 50k+ attendance has never been much of a concern for UFC.
A Conor main with Paddy co-main would still do huge PPV numbers if UFC wanted to put that together.
One of Paddy’s youtube vids has 7M views and he has 770k followers. I just read before his instagram account got canceled for “bullying” he had 900k followers.

Paddy vs Conor at 170 would make some sense. That way if Paddy loses, it doesn’t necessarily diminish his star power at LW.

Just his video about eating at Conor’s pub from a few months ago has 3M views. Kid is a massive star despite only being 3-0 in the UFC and he has barely been in the promotion a year.
Meanwhile Soren Bak beat Pimblett for the LW title in Cage Warriors a few years ago and is in Bellator now and I’m not even sure he is gonna get one of the eight spots in the Bellator LW GP in 2023. Probably doesn’t even have a youtube channel.

He did fight like an idiot in his last fight. Savage and violent, sure. But the way he stood there winging arm punches until he gassed was concerning. Like he threw his fight IQ out the window for clout or some shit. But if he would stick to a ground and pound assault, I think he takes out a lot of guys still. But he needs to hurry. Father Time might be on his ass.
