Arman just called Paddy a trash can
Also said he’d choke out Gaethje in round 2

I can't believe Bisping and the panel saying Justin needs to fight Arman or Max, etc.

Justin gets Illia. That's how it works.


Arman is hilarious. 'Paddy is trashcan'

Came so damn close to cancelling Paramount+ earlier this week but glad I hung around for this fight. Classic.

BKFC has some entertaining moments and fighters with heart, but there is a reason why nearly every fighter on their roster is broke financially.

they're not doing BKFC because they want to be there, they're doing it because they need the paycheck.

BKFC's entire selling point is gruesome and bloody violence. they don't care about sport. it's all about blood and violence.

Arman saying he thinks Illia goes to 170 and he gets fight with Justin this year.

Ilia stepped away for a while. There’s no guarantee he’ll fight in 2026.

I figure Illia will do anything to headline the WH card, though, but who knows. I guess his wife is that crazy.


That is an incredible fight.

Arman vs Gaethje is basically the Khabib 2.0, except Justin is much older now. Would not be that great of a fight, IMO. Arman would ragdoll him.

Bkfc is actually very entertaining… but I just think they will have trouble growing the sport with homegrown talent like the ufc can. To this point they have only been successful using the ufc fighters names. Like you said it’s like the last chance for fighters… not many are going straight into bare knuckle. I know one thing, gaethje would def be great at bkfc.

It’s a shame they didn’t do a trilogy. 1-1 and Dustin and Justin sounds like 2 brothers who fought all the time.


They both said they didn’t want to do it unless a title was involved because it was too much damage on the body.

That was a fantastic fight. Most of the other cards sucked.

Yea, it can definitely be a last resort or last stop type of promotion, but I still find it very entertaining. And entertainment is what I want when I watch fights.

I often find their fights more entertaining than watching Dagestanis wrestling other fighters. And I can appreciate the wrestling part of MMA, but I just don't find it particularly entertaining.

Gaethje fought like some of Paddy's trash talk pissed him off and like he didn't respect Paddy at all.

The fight vs. Topuria will be completely different. It'll have to be, because if Gaethje tries going berserker mode against Topuria, he might get flatline KO'd in the first round.

I'd bet Illia would be a -200 favorite at least in a fight vs Justin.

Justin is a brawler, but Illia is an assassin on the feet. Slickest boxer in the UFC.

And absolutely zero threat of a takedown.

I just watched the replay of the fight and Rogan/DC were terrible on the Paddy/Justin fight. They kept saying how bad Justin was at throwing wild punches, and how great Paddy was. What were they watching? Were they told by Dana to keep hyping this guy? He got thoroughly beat up.

Entertaining fight bc both guys stood on their feet. Minimal clenching or boring ground game

At one point Paddy hit Gaethje with a few things in a row and Gaethje looked at him and said 'It's nothing.' Warrior s***.

Think Paddy will look back and wish he had tried to bring it to the ground, shot some takedowns. I think he might have only shot one takedown, and that was in the 4th.
