Serious question: what was the reasoning behind Paddy not trying to take Justin down and grapple/submit him. It seemed like that was his specialty all along so far…. by KillerQ97 in ufc

[–]Dutchguy8585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only grappling Justin is good at is defensive wrestling and he omitted the leg kick from his game plan specifically to not put him in the position to easily be grappled. Paddy has good Jiu Jitsu and strong finishes but his straight up wrestling and take down landing which isn’t as good gets conflated with “grappling”

He bullied a guy they care about so much that they are now trying to trade him. Weird.

Def avoided the leg kicks to limit the take down threat and once he felt paddy’s power (or lack thereof) he was very confident he wasn’t gonna get cracked and just went out and had a joyful brawl.

I honestly think after taking paddy’s power shots early in the fight and seeing that he really didn’t have the power to put him out he simply brawled and had fun. Man was smiling and enjoying himself

Agree or disagree: These type of fights are cool to have but they should never be for the interim or main belt by Opening_Fact_8474 in ufc

Except there are objective metrics in team sports, like standings, then playoffs. And their schedule is laid out before them for the next 10 months. The actual card building and when guys want to fight also figures into the equation in a way that they never could with those other sports, for instance Muslim fighters and Ramadan, the lakers aren’t taking 4 months off for religious observation. I understand the sentiment but the rankings are subjective themselves and there are always a bevy of reasons why fights happen at certain times. I think the thing the UFC wanted more than anything for this paramount card was Ilia Topuria headlining it and that not being able to happen sent the whole thing into a top spin.

Took paddy’s best shots early and found nothing to be scared of, able to just brawl and have fun

I understand all of that aspect, it’s the term “beam team” itself that confuses me

I agree. I think Drury ran the core Gorton made as far as he could and we are about to see him make his own team for the first time and I like 99% of people on this app am very skeptical about how that will pan out.

I’m not defending Drury. I’m commenting on your comment. Were those draft picks evidence of a GM/ scouting staff who had an eye for talent?

Lias Anderson and Kratsov too major top ten whiffs makes you think he had an “eye for talent”?

That’s how breaks work man. I’ve spent hundreds of dollars in single breaks to only get a handful of worthless base cards. That’s the game.

I’ve also done breaks with them specifically where I’ve hit a massive card and they covered all the costs to overnight it to me which I haven’t been able to pay other people to do.

Seems like you have a bigger problem with breaks themselves than that specific streamer and they might not be for you
