He’s a good fighter, maybe better than good. But, his eating habits when he doesn’t have a fight coming up is alarming for a professional athlete. He gains so much weight, it’s hard to imagine he’s actually training and learning new skills when he isn’t in camp. Compared to other high level prospects, that’s just an obvious lifestyle choice he needs to cut out or cut back on asap.
@@enjayflave i agree with wade, i think he needs to learn how to counter punches better and use other techniques. his striking arsenal looks mainly muay thai. he should incorporate elbows and knees more especially since he gets in close a lot. for his eating habits it’s okay right now since he’s so young. at his age you can lose 10 lbs in a day. prolly even more. i think it would only start to be a problem if he kept on with his habits as he gets older. losing weight is a lot harder the older you get
I love how people say he fights 'nobodies.' He's on the same level as the people he fights, and anyone who can make the UFC isnt a 'nobody' give me a break.
His popularity is in the top 10 but his ranking is #76 and he could barely hit a guy ranked #80. That's the definition of a hype train and it's not his fault. To say it's not isn't truthful.
@@jonathanmosher72 he is still climbing up ,plus he alays puts on a good show ,keeps you in the edge of your seats, hes fun to watch and thats why people cheer for him

idiot, fighter gets weaker after every fight, they get damaged more and more until they start loosing too much, unless they retire in good time, Khabib for example
Primblatt sucks... no offense to Britain but he sucks and so does the majority of it's MMA fighters, but are hyped up by the British promoters who need this image for Britain, it sucks. You should see how Vinny in Yokkao talks about British fighters and how great they are even when they are being defeated, so bias, so obvious, so annoying.
@@reedeayers agreed paddy definitely just has an iron chin, Luigi landed flush on the tip of his chin 3 times and he didn’t go out. Those shots were precise and would KO most people.
Paddy is fun to watch…he’s kind of like HS or college sports. It’s entertaining bc you honestly never know what craziness is gonna happen in a good way he has that aura about him. I think he will improve and get better with time he’s still young.
I think he really just needs to improve his first step quickness to get out of the pocket when he misses in an exchange. I think him having that fighting stance is a tactic to get people to come in, so he can iniate his takedowns easier. It's a dangerous one, but he will need to figure something else out if he reaches the top 15 in the division.
I watched one of his pre fight vlogs and his boxing trainer accually scolded him for not moving after his combinations, he should really focus on his grappling and getting to the grappling
@@GreatwhiteShark88 he isn't wrong though. Gonna keep getting check hooked if he doesn't execute better fundamentals. Brawling will get him in trouble eventually. His real saving grace is that he's a big lightweight, walking around at 190+lbs and then cutting to 155.
I think he strikes then drops guard too much it’s counter punching 101 if you bite you can’t cover and he bites too much so it’s predictable that he drops guard. He needs to learn when to pick and not pick shots.
He also reaches for punches during exchanges instead of keeping his guard tight. Even if he sees the punch coming, it tends to go around his guard cuz his arms are extended.
Good analysis, he def needs to work on his head movement as well, especially if he’s gonna try to tell which way the wind is blowing with his chin like that.
It seems like he gets reckless and just decided to run in on this dude and keep punching constantly until his knees got lose a bit because Paddy was getting knocked good and he was probably close to K.O so Paddy decided to stop playing Chess and just run up and completely assault this dude to the max, so he wouldnt eventually get K.O
He’s fighting submission artists. That’s a great matchup for him as he comes in bigger normally. Paddy can roll. I wouldn’t call his “striking” suspect per say. He’s a brawler. But I would call his defense suspect. Those big shots are going to be far more punishing and come in bunches from a higher level striking specialist. No knock on the man - he’s doing his job and winning his fights. Period. But he certainly doesn’t have devastating enough hands to be throwing with them dropped and checking no kicks. I doubt he fights in the UK again though. He’s got momentum. Jordan was a perfect matchup and Vendramini has already been released. I just hope they test him now. Someone like clay guida would be an interesting test. Regardless he’s improving right in front of us. But is he ready for the likes of a Dan Hooker? Absolutely not. Not yet atleast.
I like your optimism. I'm rooting for him, and he doesn't only seem like a decent person, but he's funny as hell too lmao. Entertaining in the ring as well, he's not afraid to take risks, lose and learn.
I've always noticed that he keeps his hands low and chin up as he attacks or shifts inwards for a reaction. He's clearly been caught in nearly every fight and it's only a matter of time before some shuts his lights out. As he moves up the ranks his competition increases along with their skills and fight IQ. Eventually he's gonna run into a someone that's gonna capitalize on his flaws (as his lower level opponents already have) except it's going to executed flawlessly and at an elite level. Ain't coming back from that once it happens unless he makes changes and fast
most mma fighters suck at striking. but this guy is on another level. his strikes consist of "please dont hurt me" attacks. its not offensive at all. its desperation and fear behind those.
He's probably one of the most adaptable fighters we've ever seen. Last 2 fights hes been getting his ass kicked but then he just pulls it out. He's a great fighter.
I been telling people man, Paddy isn’t as good as what people are making him out to be. If he wasn’t a brash, entertaining personality nobody would give a bollocks about him nearly as much as they do. He’s a solid grappler, great submissions but his striking is very average. Even Vargas (who was put in there to lose) dropped him his last fight. Paddy gets dropped and rocked a fair bit, he’s tough but he is fairly chinny. Both Vargas and Luigi cracked him good, but he finds a way to win which you can’t not respect.
Americans discovered the "Mouthy Scouser" twenty years after the rest of us got bored with it, it's like Conor, if you have half a personality the go apeshit, most guy in an Irish bar could match wits with McGregor, that's why he ended up smacking that older fella
@@paintcandan5972 it’s a fairly common term used in mma & boxing, some guys are just “chinny” and there’s also “glass jaws” as well but that’s for the guys like Cody Garbrandt who get ko/tko’d fairly often. You learn something new everyday, and now you know how to describe these kind of fighters. I’m not a genius either just sharing personal knowledge I’ve learned from watching fights for years so my bad if it came of like I was tryna “school” you or sum.
If you watch his Cage Warriors fight you’ll see more of this - straight up, lack of head movement, lack of defensively controlling distance, and the movement between high kicks to boxing attacks being awkward and defensively open. Against Leavitt none of this will probably matter though, we’ll be seeing scrambles more than anything.
@@NoToBigBro well Conor kept his opponent just in arms reach so he could evade strikes on top of that he had devastating kicks and accuracy plus his extremely good footwork and balance patty has none of that patty is a submission style fighter he is good at that but everything else isn't all that great but he can take some punishment
Its unfortunate Luigi got cut I honestly thought he looked really good and he's super young. Paddy's striking isn't great but he has the heart and creates the hype so every fight he's in is going to be entertaining going forward that's all that matters.
Yeah, I agree..his striking is definitely not great..he leads with his chin and is devoid of any real defense. But he's willing to rush forward and brawl, and taken hits to land hits, and that really can take a fighter a long way. It won't get him a championship belt, but it does make him exciting to watch.
@@dougsjourney9961 yeah, that kinda surprised me to be honest. Hes definitely got a strong chin. That will only last a fighter for so long tho. Chuck Liddell had a seriously strong chin at one point. A little too strong for his own good. He didn't protect like he should have because he felt like he didn't need to. Later in his career tho he was being KO'd by hits he would have eaten with no problem in his prime. Had he protected his chin more in his prime, it may have stayed strong for him alot longer than it did.
His striking is similar to Johnny Walker, in the sense he is always fighting in the offensive. and allows his defence to fall to the wayside. If we see him out an emphasis on his defence and focus more on his output. I believe he would be an alright striker.
but his defense is his strongest ability? the fact we see him banging is all part of who he is. You're right his striking isn't the best but it puts in work. He has a chin of gold and his submissions are sublime.
If he were to focus on "Textbook" defense, he would lose all the excitement. Theres 100s of martial artists with Textbook techniques that just come off as a lot less entertaining. Once you go textbook, you lose your identity and style.
Oh Man. The Walker comparison is eerily accurate. Paddy is a LITTLE more down the middle, and little cleaner. Everything else though. The forward movement, wide arms and stance, looping power..... funny ass visual
Reminds me of Justin's debut. Perhaps just like Justin Gaethje his striking skills will get more crisp with more combinations. Definitely fun to watch and hop he goes far.
He can strike and if you let him he'll keep going, and his strikes actually seem kind of difficult to avoid He's not afraid to trade at all, and that's fine until you don't want to trade anymore then it gets you knocked out Hopefully he's trained some more, he did seem pretty green in the octagon but his strengths are unique
@@luisdawnfinder3188 you realize it’s not just about hard work some guys just have better striking ability with natural athletically and genetic movement. I can’t say for sure but I’m gonna bet that paddy ain’t a great ball player or a natural athlete
@@josecmch98 you can’t be this stupid… mma fighters are known to not be able to play basketball or other sports. Most kids that go hard into martial arts are not natural athletes. Izzy is one of the best fighters in the world and clearly states he’s not athletic and got made fun of for being black and not being able to dribble a ball. Athletic fighters are just starting to come into the ufc because it used to just be a bunch of white guys and Brazilians who couldn’t play other sports but extremely hard workers. Wtf are u taking about 😂😂😂
@@josecmch98 if natural athletes went down the martial arts route regularly, they would take over the entire promotion. Tf you think Michael bisping is a natural athlete too?? 😂😂😂 most of these guys are average people who worked their asses off to crazy levels which they will even admit. There’s plenty of natural ability but please stop saying stupid shit lol
Paddy took some big shots, but we gotta remember Vendramini was pretty much at the bottom of the division (he was cut after), so I'm very interested to see how his chin holds up against even top 20 strikers.
LW is difficult enough for even the most elite guys. Maybe Paddy should get a really good nutritionist and move to FW or just move up to WW. The same goes for Jordan, except for the WW part. I want them to do good but LW is hell.
Never really been impressed so far by his performances, he took a lot of big shots and was able to still standing because he's bigger than most of his opponents (like Conor back in featherweights), I'm gonna wait until he'll face bigger opponents to judge
@@coolcat1530 weight division is the contest to who best at cutting weight. You can see how small frankie edgar and how big dan hooker is. Some lightweight could be 200lbs on fightnight
I was surprised to discover yesterday that he already has over one million Instagram followers somehow. There will be a lot of disappointed people sometime within his next 2 or 3 fights when he gets KTFO
@@ao1461 it's clear as day that will happen. He refuses to work on his defense, came out and said it himself. Once he faces a good striker hes gone. And its lw so it will happen eventually
He’s made more money then 98% of the ufc before he even fought….. this is prize fighting, he’s winning the game regardless of results, he’s made more than you will make in your entire life in one endorsement deal
You can see moments of clean striking in there. Id say it’s more unconventional tactics to be “exciting”. He definitely has the capability of crisp striking. And there was some beautiful footwork and head movement.
As a fan of the old ufc. Chuck Liddell, Anderson Silva, bj Penn days. I love that he just wants to fight. Starting to get sick of the technical strikers like adesanya and technical wrestlers like Islam. Sometimes I just wanna see a fight. That’s why pride was the best.
Brawler when he’s standing up. Super technical on the ground. Looks,like he’s got a good chin for the time being. So he’s super fun to watch. The scally banter is a bonus. I’ll tune in to watch his next fight for sure. But… There WILL be a highlight reel Paddy being knocked out at some point.
Paddy is like an old school brawler who sets up absolutely nothing, swings wildly, and has no real defense to speak of. He just starts throwing whatever at his opponent and hopes for the best. He'll be a regional champ in England fighting no names like he always has. That's where he belongs
100% possible. Look at Justin Gaethje, after years and years of brawling he adjusted and became less reckless. From then on he got massively more dangerous
He has no proper striking roots. More so learned from training at a MMA Gym. I hope he takes his defense and boxing a little more seriously to fine tune his upper body. His legs and knees are decent nonetheless.
Say what you want about his striking but Paddy has chin made out of freekin stone. He definitely would benefit from being more tactical in his movement that would set him up to throw less & connect power shots more efficiently. Never really liked him but there’s no denying he’s a warrior, if he focuses on fighting IQ over brawling it would take him to the next level.
Something folks must understand is the difference of getting hit with long hair versus no hair. When you get hit with long hair the punch looks far worse than with short or no hair. It’s kind of an illusion you might say.
lol casual, anyone would jhave been koed on the counter he took, that was the biggest punch of the fight ;). Thats why, its suspect, he has no technic when it comes to boxing.
Beyond suspect - has hasn’t shown a THING to show he is even mid tier ufc level . Like there is no suspect , exposed or anything. Like Paddy hasn’t shown a thing or fought a ufc level fighter in his life
@The Science of Violence I see your point but it goes beyond that - he is literally being fed guys who do not belong in the ufc. Several guys I grew up with fought in the ufc - and they fought other 0-0 1-0 in ufc type guys. Paddy fought guys with AWFUL records. I mean I actually trained at a pro level - his skills are pretty bad for a pro. It’s just reality. Athletic good scrambler but sloppy jiujitsu with mistakes, hideous striking . Athletic but not freakishly so ect I have nothing against him, he’s likeable - this just is the reality of his current skillset- he is 28 not 16. Lots of reginal fighters at at this level
@The Science of Violence Additionally guys like say Till or O malley - may not be best in the world but at least you could say they had some real abilities. Great sense of distance and power for both - so real top 10 potential . Then Khamzat and Conor just a whole Other level - you could see Khamzat was UFC level in every one of his fights What I mean is elite guys you can see their skills shining through even against lessor competition. Paddy does not - he gets hurt and is sloppy versus .500 fighters . A top 15 ufc level guy looks flawless against his competition
@@SickestDisciple I honestly have no idea - any guy who is idk 1-0 2-1 in the ufc. jordan leavitt fits the bill I geuss- legit ufc level fighter. I’ll be happy to eat my words if he smashes jordan snd a top 20 guy after. I like both Paddy and Jordan. This is just my assessment of his skills ( and I don’t respect his getting fat before accomplishing a thing either) but as a person all the best and if he shocked the hell out if me and become the best I’d be happy But I see no indicators of that happening
I think his defense, especially with head placement, does make him pretty open to counters. I don’t think that’s something he really needs to worry about in this fight though
I agree. And sometimes, fighters who has had these flaws and not worked on them in many years as a practitioner, may have trouble readjusting and fixing their problem. I have 25+ years of martial arts experience + 14 years of MMA experience (both watched MMA since Pride and training myself and teaching the teens MMA) One has to fix the flaws immediately, or it will become muscle memory.
@@vipr1142 i mean tucking your chin is like a golden rule, if your a professional fighter and sticking your chin in the air like a rooster, something is seriously wrong 🐓
paddy doesn’t fight to win, he fights to win in a big way. to do that most of the time you have to take risks, and so far it has paid. that being said some more work to his defensive game wouldn’t hurt

@@eddie4249 his kicks are high level , turns all his body kicks leading into a ? Mark kick to the head. Y’all casual just can’t piece a fight together and what someone is trying to do.
@@cheddydoit0404 "casual, casual, casual" You're the guy riding the hypetrain of an unproven walking meme. Paddy has more ego than skills, and it will catch up to him soon.
I don't think it's the same as GSP. He's formed extremely terrible habits in terms of his striking defense which are difficult to correct when you've been reinforcing said habits for years
PIMBLETT "WADES IN" and has thus far overwhelmed the less technically accomplished strikers he has previously faced. One would not be surprised to see him getting knocked out by any of the top five technically superior strikers in the division. The same can certainly be said for his incredibly over-hyped cohort, the appropriately named "Meatball". She too will eventually be "tenderized" by a technically superior striker.
He’s a natural fighter and a wild one, but my fear is once he works his way up the ranks he will find those mistakes and lack of technical skill ending very very badly and you can only hope he will find one of his notorious chokes to make up for it. People higher up the ranks have more power as well as much higher fight IQ. if you move in with your hands low and chin up every time they’re not going to let it slip.
Good thing the higher up he gets, the more money he makes = more, better training and eventually him moving to the states to be close to everything. I think he has potential, cause he sure as hell got the will.
He's just getting to the next competitive level. If he is actually a talented fighter, he will learn and craft his technique from there. If he doesn't adjust then well.... if i were him, bring in a good boxing coach to your camp, he will show you how to move. While he can strike, you can tell he's never had an excellent boxer in his ear.... needs help in defense more than striking
@@govindakeshavdas how long have you been following competitive fighting?... nobody with a brain trains you to keep your chin up. If you read anything i typed and absorbed it... now that he can afford better coaches, he should improve, granted he is the blue chip fighter he's hyped to be... only the future can determine that
IMO I think paddy is dangerous and worth the hype. Everyone says how he doesn’t bring anything that is an edge for him competitively for him other then him being aggressive. I disagree with that. I think paddy has legit endurance and stamina (which 95% of fighters do not most gas out towards the end of the third round), hits really hard (reminds me of Dustin porrier and Justin gaethje type power), has a rock solid chin (which the majority of fighters do NOT), and has a fkn LEGIT ground/submission game that can end fights. The fighters with his skill set are all top top fighters man.
@@katana_3558 u mug the first event I watched live was the first season of the ultimate fighter. Forrest griffon vs Steffon Bonner. I remember it as blue trunks vs green trunks because I was so little. Name a fight I haven’t watched live I doubt u can. Time will tell who’s right about paddy but my bet is he’ll crack the top 5 of the division 💯
flat out has no defense plain and simple … striking is not and obviously will not be enough to overshadow that massive, clear flaw in his game. fasho has potential n a great chin as we’ve seen
The problem is he thinks in his head he's on a different level to everyone else and that his "mentality la" will allow him to walk through anyone he comes across. Which is going to see him "knocked spark out la" very shortly. And yes he will lose tonight by submission.
I think he's good enough to keep it standing and Leavitt's standup is even worse than his but yeah I agree. As soon as he fights a serious contender he is liable to get KO'd leaving his chin up in the air like that
@@malcombe7001 Thats just called being delusional. You dont become the best by bullshitting yourself that you just are the best. Its actually the opposite you ought to do. Never underestimate your opponent and control you ego. Confidence is one thing but many athletes, especially American ones, cant tell the difference between confidence and delusion. Gonna end up like Ronda.. bulshitted herself into being the best and when she lost her whole world collapsed. And shes not the only example.
Kinda reminds me of Oliviera in that the dude is constantly getting rocked and finds a way to finish anyway. Dangerous style for everyone including himself.
He's still green in the striking department but he did get a nasty KO here at the end and also ate a KO blow like nothing. I think if he doesn't work on his striking defense and keeps trading wild blows he will be KO'd by anyone with good power. The UFC should be very selective with his opponents if they want to build him up into a star.
He does not know how to throw a proper jab - a proper cross, how to throw punches or move without his upper body moving all over the place and not over his feet. I don’t understand how Paddy at 28 and a pro fighter has so many technical flaws. I think he does not respect the process - getting fat not training ect ( likable guy though)
He literally throws the punches incorrectly. I mean that is a fact. There is an objective reality here. I don’t get why you guys turn this into some ego thing. Objectively - his jabs crosses and pretty much everything he does on the feet is incorrect. He is tough and creative but yes his technique is shockingly sloppy.
*1. Luigi is underrated. 2. Paddy leg buckled because of the inside leg kick (which most missed), not the punch.* Does he have the cleanest striking? No. He has a lot to improve, but he’s still young and has dangerous submissions. He needs to crisp up his striking.
I think everyone is overlooking Jordan Twerkitt. I think this is a split decision waiting to happen. Twerkitt is super slick on the ground and I think it's very even. Faddy has more dynamic striking (for a lack of a better term) but it's more of the "I'm not scared to get taken down so I go crazy" kinda striking. So if it plays out on the feet then yeah Faddy should win but if Twerkitt is able to get the fight to the ground it will show us who's better at what they both do best and that's submissions and ground and pound or in Twerkitt's case pound on the ground 😂
tbh Jordan seem so calm, not in the typical relaxed way. But like he's just fighting for fun, the pressure is on the same level as going shopping haha.

100% agreed.
Dan hooker, that got absolutely steamrolled by Arnold Allen?
I like your optimism. I'm rooting for him, and he doesn't only seem like a decent person, but he's funny as hell too lmao. Entertaining in the ring as well, he's not afraid to take risks, lose and learn.
didnt expect to see you here lol. Who do you think wins in a fight, Paddy or the W12?
The way he blocks punches with his face is next level
I've always noticed that he keeps his hands low and chin up as he attacks or shifts inwards for a reaction. He's clearly been caught in nearly every fight and it's only a matter of time before some shuts his lights out. As he moves up the ranks his competition increases along with their skills and fight IQ. Eventually he's gonna run into a someone that's gonna capitalize on his flaws (as his lower level opponents already have) except it's going to executed flawlessly and at an elite level. Ain't coming back from that once it happens unless he makes changes and fast
most mma fighters suck at striking. but this guy is on another level.
his strikes consist of "please dont hurt me" attacks. its not offensive at all. its desperation and fear behind those.
@@Teddy-se8qb stop talking out your arse.. most mma fighters suck at striking. I bet you’d knock ‘em all out bro
He's young and primarily a wrestler he will get better
I'm sure you have an impressive fight record 🙄🙄🙄🙄
You say that like he has am inability to keep learning just like the rest of them, he’s just got a good amount to learn
scousers will say it's fake
Scousers will definitely say something but what it is nobody knows
He's probably one of the most adaptable fighters we've ever seen. Last 2 fights hes been getting his ass kicked but then he just pulls it out. He's a great fighter.
that switch kick into a roll was absolutely beautiful
I been telling people man, Paddy isn’t as good as what people are making him out to be. If he wasn’t a brash, entertaining personality nobody would give a bollocks about him nearly as much as they do.
He’s a solid grappler, great submissions but his striking is very average. Even Vargas (who was put in there to lose) dropped him his last fight. Paddy gets dropped and rocked a fair bit, he’s tough but he is fairly chinny. Both Vargas and Luigi cracked him good, but he finds a way to win which you can’t not respect.
never heard someone described as “chinny” before lmao but that’s him alright
Americans discovered the "Mouthy Scouser" twenty years after the rest of us got bored with it, it's like Conor, if you have half a personality the go apeshit, most guy in an Irish bar could match wits with McGregor, that's why he ended up smacking that older fella
@@paintcandan5972 curious how long uve been watching fights, or where ur from, 99% of adult males where im from will know the term.
@@paintcandan5972 it’s a fairly common term used in mma & boxing, some guys are just “chinny” and there’s also “glass jaws” as well but that’s for the guys like Cody Garbrandt who get ko/tko’d fairly often. You learn something new everyday, and now you know how to describe these kind of fighters. I’m not a genius either just sharing personal knowledge I’ve learned from watching fights for years so my bad if it came of like I was tryna “school” you or sum.
"Scousers don't get knocked out"
If you watch his Cage Warriors fight you’ll see more of this - straight up, lack of head movement, lack of defensively controlling distance, and the movement between high kicks to boxing attacks being awkward and defensively open. Against Leavitt none of this will probably matter though, we’ll be seeing scrambles more than anything.
He fights with his chin up in the air like Conor McGregor.
Lmao cage warriors
Wtf is that?
The bar down my road is more dangerous and competitive 😂😂

@@NoToBigBro lol you cant compare Conor with Paddy xD.
@@NoToBigBro well Conor kept his opponent just in arms reach so he could evade strikes on top of that he had devastating kicks and accuracy plus his extremely good footwork and balance patty has none of that patty is a submission style fighter he is good at that but everything else isn't all that great but he can take some punishment
His striking looks phenomenal…he’s almost perfect at hitting his opponents fists with his face.
Thanks sure would love to see his next fight. ✌🏻👊
Its unfortunate Luigi got cut I honestly thought he looked really good and he's super young. Paddy's striking isn't great but he has the heart and creates the hype so every fight he's in is going to be entertaining going forward that's all that matters.
Yeah, I agree..his striking is definitely not great..he leads with his chin and is devoid of any real defense. But he's willing to rush forward and brawl, and taken hits to land hits, and that really can take a fighter a long way. It won't get him a championship belt, but it does make him exciting to watch.
Did luigi actually get cut? :(
@@itsaplaceholdername yep
That’s a shame, he fuckin clocked em but the chin held up.
@@dougsjourney9961 yeah, that kinda surprised me to be honest. Hes definitely got a strong chin. That will only last a fighter for so long tho. Chuck Liddell had a seriously strong chin at one point. A little too strong for his own good. He didn't protect like he should have because he felt like he didn't need to. Later in his career tho he was being KO'd by hits he would have eaten with no problem in his prime. Had he protected his chin more in his prime, it may have stayed strong for him alot longer than it did.
His striking is similar to Johnny Walker, in the sense he is always fighting in the offensive. and allows his defence to fall to the wayside. If we see him out an emphasis on his defence and focus more on his output. I believe he would be an alright striker.
Big difference is Johnny walker doesn’t have a chin
@@footy2362 this is true!😂
but his defense is his strongest ability? the fact we see him banging is all part of who he is. You're right his striking isn't the best but it puts in work. He has a chin of gold and his submissions are sublime.
If he were to focus on "Textbook" defense, he would lose all the excitement.
Theres 100s of martial artists with Textbook techniques that just come off as a lot less entertaining.
Once you go textbook, you lose your identity and style.
Oh Man. The Walker comparison is eerily accurate. Paddy is a LITTLE more down the middle, and little cleaner. Everything else though. The forward movement, wide arms and stance, looping power..... funny ass visual
Reminds me of Justin's debut. Perhaps just like Justin Gaethje his striking skills will get more crisp with more combinations. Definitely fun to watch and hop he goes far.
He can strike and if you let him he'll keep going, and his strikes actually seem kind of difficult to avoid
He's not afraid to trade at all, and that's fine until you don't want to trade anymore then it gets you knocked out
Hopefully he's trained some more, he did seem pretty green in the octagon but his strengths are unique
I’m sure he’s been working his ass off on striking. I’d like to see what he comes with.
He's still young so he has time

Paddy has one issue he has to deal with. When he backs up he keeps his head up and moves straight back.
He also stays in the pocket too long, he also has no guard, he also keeps his chin up at all times. He's got more than one issue.
Swinging for the fences has a new meaning
Overhand right and left hook combo was working

He looks like the ultimate combination between all the Beatles in one tough fighter
“Paddy cake paddy cake”
As a fan of the old ufc. Chuck Liddell, Anderson Silva, bj Penn days. I love that he just wants to fight. Starting to get sick of the technical strikers like adesanya and technical wrestlers like Islam. Sometimes I just wanna see a fight. That’s why pride was the best.
As much as I agree, that style is well defunct by now
@@JamesClarke.yt. 💯…but everyone loves a brawler.
the META has changed
pride = CTE era
Brawler when he’s standing up. Super technical on the ground. Looks,like he’s got a good chin for the time being. So he’s super fun to watch. The scally banter is a bonus. I’ll tune in to watch his next fight for sure. But… There WILL be a highlight reel Paddy being knocked out at some point.
I really like Paddy but from what I've seen so far from him, he's not all that
Nail on the head
He's just trying to have a giggle mate
The first crack to the face hes gonna feel that 5-6 fights from now lol
No faint, no jab, no head movement, counter punchers dream.
He’s good just a bit wild, needs to tighten his defense a bit but he definitely has a hell of a chin and knockout power.
Paddy is like an old school brawler who sets up absolutely nothing, swings wildly, and has no real defense to speak of. He just starts throwing whatever at his opponent and hopes for the best. He'll be a regional champ in England fighting no names like he always has. That's where he belongs
he is a bum
Someone's not a fan of the paddy
for type of fighter paddy pimblet is his striking is among better side
But then his grappling & Jui jitsu is great. Plus the heart n will power to win so
He's 2-0 in the ufc if he wins tomorrow he certainly belongs in the ufc but probably not top 15 just yet 🤣🤣
Swings like a proper scrapper good lad
His movements are insane
He's dangerous AF But I see him getting better in the future with his fundamentals.
100% possible. Look at Justin Gaethje, after years and years of brawling he adjusted and became less reckless. From then on he got massively more dangerous
He has no proper striking roots. More so learned from training at a MMA Gym. I hope he takes his defense and boxing a little more seriously to fine tune his upper body. His legs and knees are decent nonetheless.
Luigi’s star power ran out, now he needs a mushroom to fight in the class again. Here weee gooooooo.
paddy "just keep hitting me, i just get stronger with every punch" pimblett
Say what you want about his striking but Paddy has chin made out of freekin stone.
He definitely would benefit from being more tactical in his movement that would set him up to throw less & connect power shots more efficiently.
Never really liked him but there’s no denying he’s a warrior, if he focuses on fighting IQ over brawling it would take him to the next level.
Something folks must understand is the difference of getting hit with long hair versus no hair. When you get hit with long hair the punch looks far worse than with short or no hair. It’s kind of an illusion you might say.
Nah a lot of these fighters that make it to prime time are solely there because they have diamond chins
bro idc about this vid but its been sitting in my recommands for days now... so i might aswell check it

Suspect isn’t what I’d call it, more like absolutely awful

lol casual, anyone would jhave been koed on the counter he took, that was the biggest punch of the fight ;). Thats why, its suspect, he has no technic when it comes to boxing.
he has an immense chin and it was far from the killer in the lightweight division ;)
Beyond suspect - has hasn’t shown a THING to show he is even mid tier ufc level . Like there is no suspect , exposed or anything. Like Paddy hasn’t shown a thing or fought a ufc level fighter in his life
“hasn’t fought a UFC level fighter in his life” ? do you have any idea how fuckin stupid that sounds ???? LMFAO
Like…
@The Science of Violence I see your point but it goes beyond that - he is literally being fed guys who do not belong in the ufc.
Several guys I grew up with fought in the ufc - and they fought other 0-0 1-0 in ufc type guys. Paddy fought guys with AWFUL records.
I mean I actually trained at a pro level - his skills are pretty bad for a pro. It’s just reality. Athletic good scrambler but sloppy jiujitsu with mistakes, hideous striking . Athletic but not freakishly so ect
I have nothing against him, he’s likeable - this just is the reality of his current skillset- he is 28 not 16. Lots of reginal fighters at at this level
@The Science of Violence Additionally guys like say Till or O malley - may not be best in the world but at least you could say they had some real abilities.
Great sense of distance and power for both - so real top 10 potential .
Then Khamzat and Conor just a whole
Other level - you could see Khamzat was UFC level in every one of his fights
What I mean is elite guys you can see their skills shining through even against lessor competition. Paddy does not - he gets hurt and is sloppy versus .500 fighters .

@@SickestDisciple I honestly have no idea - any guy who is idk 1-0 2-1 in the ufc.

He hasn’t learned fear yet. When he does, he will be less wild and more calculated. GSP pre Matt Serra vs post is an example.

PIMBLETT "WADES IN" and has thus far overwhelmed the less technically accomplished strikers he has previously faced. One would not be surprised to see him getting knocked out by any of the top five technically superior strikers in the division. The same can certainly be said for his incredibly over-hyped cohort, the appropriately named "Meatball". She too will eventually be "tenderized" by a technically superior striker.

Same as Brian "CTE-City" Ortega. Not afraid to block punches with his face.
He’s a natural fighter and a wild one, but my fear is once he works his way up the ranks he will find those mistakes and lack of technical skill ending very very badly and you can only hope he will find one of his notorious chokes to make up for it. People higher up the ranks have more power as well as much higher fight IQ. if you move in with your hands low and chin up every time they’re not going to let it slip.
Good thing the higher up he gets, the more money he makes = more, better training and eventually him moving to the states to be close to everything.
I think he has potential, cause he sure as hell got the will.
HUH, wtf u talking about??

0:20 Papa Chael would be proud of that advanced face blocking technique
He's the equivalent of a Machamp with the No Guard ability; guaranteed he's going to hit you, but guaranteed you're going to hit him.
He's just getting to the next competitive level. If he is actually a talented fighter, he will learn and craft his technique from there. If he doesn't adjust then well.... if i were him, bring in a good boxing coach to your camp, he will show you how to move. While he can strike, you can tell he's never had an excellent boxer in his ear.... needs help in defense more than striking

IMO I think paddy is dangerous and worth the hype. Everyone says how he doesn’t bring anything that is an edge for him competitively for him other then him being aggressive. I disagree with that. I think paddy has legit endurance and stamina (which 95% of fighters do not most gas out towards the end of the third round), hits really hard (reminds me of Dustin porrier and Justin gaethje type power), has a rock solid chin (which the majority of fighters do NOT), and has a fkn LEGIT ground/submission game that can end fights. The fighters with his skill set are all top top fighters man.

I think he's good enough to keep it standing and Leavitt's standup is even worse than his but yeah I agree. As soon as he fights a serious contender he is liable to get KO'd leaving his chin up in the air like that

Kinda reminds me of Oliviera in that the dude is constantly getting rocked and finds a way to finish anyway. Dangerous style for everyone including himself.
He's still green in the striking department but he did get a nasty KO here at the end and also ate
a KO blow like nothing. I think if he doesn't work on his striking defense and keeps trading wild blows he will be KO'd by anyone with good power. The UFC should be very selective with his opponents if they want to build him up into a star.
He does not know how to throw a proper jab - a proper cross, how to throw punches or move without his upper body moving all over the place and not over his feet.
I don’t understand how Paddy at 28 and a pro fighter has so many technical flaws. I think he does not respect the process - getting fat not training ect ( likable guy though)

I don’t get why you guys turn this into some ego thing. Objectively - his jabs crosses and pretty much everything he does on the feet is incorrect.

*1. Luigi is underrated. 2. Paddy leg buckled because of the inside leg kick (which most missed), not the punch.* Does he have the cleanest striking? No. He has a lot to improve, but he’s still young and has dangerous submissions. He needs to crisp up his striking.
I think everyone is overlooking Jordan Twerkitt. I think this is a split decision waiting to happen. Twerkitt is super slick on the ground and I think it's very even. Faddy has more dynamic striking (for a lack of a better term) but it's more of the "I'm not scared to get taken down so I go crazy" kinda striking. So if it plays out on the feet then yeah Faddy should win but if Twerkitt is able to get the fight to the ground it will show us who's better at what they both do best and that's submissions and ground and pound or in Twerkitt's case pound on the ground 😂
tbh Jordan seem so calm, not in the typical relaxed way. But like he's just fighting for fun, the pressure is on the same level as going shopping haha.
