Paddy didn't want any of Arman or Islam, the two best grapplers in the division.

As for an Islam matchup, Paddy is about the only guy in the division who's close to the same size as Islam, so thats a plus, but I think Islam would just try to ragdoll him the whole time. Paddy has reach though, and that's a plus.

Wanna see him vs A Charles or Dustin or Gaethje type though just for the fireworks.

Paddy is a fricking beast


is he though? Paddy has been carefully and heavily protected by the UFC...

look at who he's beating

- Michael Chandler - 10 losses
- Bobby Green - 17 losses ... yes SEVENTEEN losses
- Tony Ferguson - 11 losses (and on a nine fight losing streak)
- Jared Gordon - a recovering drug addict who actually WON the fight, but the judges rigged it.

He has made the most money for the worst results besides maybe Connor and the Diaz brothers the last 5 years

Hope I’m wrong but chandler looked terrible and I fear the same for volk
well, Volk hasn't sucked his entire UFC career like Chandler has. So, there's not even a comparison.

Volk is done though I think. I dont even think Lopes is that great, it Volk is just kind of a shot fighter at this point.

His high water market may have actually been almost winning the Islam fight. After that it has been downhill., but also against the best fighters like Illia and Islam.

Illia moving up to Lightweight is such a wildcard. I have no idea where he is gonna a fit it between Arman, Charles, and Islam.

And the card is basically just one division. Just shows how great 145 and 155 are compared to all others.

Damn. Chandler got destroyed. Really expected him to land a dynamite blow or two.

Total dominance by Paddy.

Yea. Should go the way of this previous fight. But it’s fighting so you never know.

He kinda did didn’t he? Paddy just ate it and countered immediately.

Come on , man. Do you just hate him???

Did you watch that performance? You were complaining about a Chandler take down commentary. Then he went absolute savage and obliterated him after that point. Standup and ground.

Got a feeling Volk lays an egg tonight. Just gut feeling!
