if McGregor fight at 170 it should be against a welterweight not a 155er going up a weight
Conor vs chimaev
Conor vs Ngannou.
Terrible fight to make. Never happen
Paddy has the potential to as big of a star as Conor if his career is managed properly and it looks like the UFC has been putting him in appropriate match ups so far. I donāt really see a need for their paths to cross.
Conor vs a polar bear
Paddy whoops his ass
Paddy is a 155er ā¦Connor wants a 155er at 170 so he has an advantage
I donāt know what it is, but I find Pimblett to be extremely annoying and from everything Iāve seen of him in the cage, vastly overrated.
IMO Conor would starch him and it would be bad.
Cage Warriors and Paddy built Paddy into a bigger star than anyone Bellator has promoted with their millions upon millions of Viacom dollars in over a decade. Wrap your head around that one.
Heās definitely built a following. I just donāt see any substance once the cage door closes.
In the UFC performances Iāve seen against average guys, he hasnāt looked stunningly impressive. In his first fight (my memory is hazy now) I remember he got rocked pretty badly and his opponent did something dumb that allowed him to get it to the ground and he eventually finished, but it wasnāt exactly a Demian Maia-level BJJ exhibition.
But youāre right, they built his star in his home country and you canāt take that from them.
3-0 all finishes in the one of the most stacked divisions. He is young, confident, slick and seems to have a chin. There is no reason to believe he wouldnāt be competitive with the best.
Dude I know! Bellator has never created a celebrity . It pisses me off. Iāve been following Bellator literally since day one when the first shows were only on ESPN deportes in Spanish. Bellator 9 was my first live Bellator event. I really wanted it to succeed. Iāve had several teammates and friends fight for them over the years, gone to dozens of shows, but ever since about the time Scott Coker took it over lost a ton of momentum and it hit a plateau. Itās remained the exact same product for like 5-6 years. A guy like Patricio Pitbull should be a fucking superstar. Iāve watched every Bellator fight of his and the guy is a savage. I always wanted him to come to UFC and fight Aldo. But I respected him staying loyal to Bellator making big bucks in sponsorship and winning title shots. IiRC correctly Pitbull has avenged every loss on his record except for Joe Warren. Supposedly they are going back to Paramount + next year but I doubt anything drastic will change.
Dillon Danis is pretty known
Still think Conor vs Paddy could be a huge fight if Conor really wants to fight a few more times.
Paddy is now 6-0 in the UFC and has a huge following.
Its starting to become realistic.
Never thought itād happen but Paddy has probably got himself a top 15 ranking.
