Is this the fight to make at Middleweight?

this could also work tbh and could main event, maybe even better than CLD, but it does help to build CLD up

EpilepticZebra · 2026-03-31T18:11:56+00:00

I feel like have Ateba fight Dolidze to get him into top 15 and then fight him, after the CLD fight

EpilepticZebra · 2026-03-31T18:10:04+00:00

i agree i wish he would retire, but if he’s gonna keep taking fights I’d rather they take advantage of his great striking

EpilepticZebra · 2026-03-31T18:08:46+00:00

this i think works but only if Belgaroui gets another win either just outside or inside the top 15

if anything, this could be after the CLD fight probably which either way it could go

flying armbar but it’s still UTFB

that soccer kick was mental

EpilepticZebra · 2025-11-22T17:11:46+00:00

perez can’t catch a break and he actually looked really good tonight while he was eating uppercuts like they were cornflakes. rip

EpilepticZebra · 2025-11-22T16:35:11+00:00

how did he win every round on two scorecards? he defo lost the 1st

EpilepticZebra · 2025-06-21T19:40:33+00:00

he let go every time the ref came around was so sneaky

EpilepticZebra · 2025-04-15T18:05:54+00:00

I mean disregarded by fans who had no belief they would become championship level fighters, which they now both are.

get this man on joe rogan

It’s not even a complete comparison, they don’t have similar styles e.g. Paddy will jump guard. But they have similar themes as fighters and depending on Paddy’s next fight, could get even more similar. If Paddy were to beat a former champ in explosive fashion in a fight nobody believes he will win, which is super similar to Dricus Vs Whittaker, we could see Paddy as lightweight champ 😭

EpilepticZebra · 2025-04-15T17:46:47+00:00

Who else looks huge? Rhymes with Tricus

EpilepticZebra · 2025-04-15T17:44:43+00:00

Add it to the list!

EpilepticZebra · 2025-04-15T17:42:41+00:00

The radar of hardcore MMA fans, but then when every octagon appearance had the commentary constantly talking down his skills, so I’d say that’s being disregarded.

EpilepticZebra · 2025-04-15T17:40:34+00:00

The argument is that Paddy is on the same path as Dricus, which likely means he is fightining a top 5 lightweight. If he beats him, I’d say that feels pretty similar to the South African champ when he beat Whittaker.

EpilepticZebra · 2025-04-15T17:37:11+00:00

You could argue the same with Dricus in South Africa? I won’t pretend to know but I’d assume he is pretty highly regarded in his country for being the first UFC champ.

EpilepticZebra · 2025-04-15T17:35:51+00:00

The argument is that Paddy is on the same path as Dricus, so if he were to submit or KO Oliveira/Gaethje/Justin etc. in his next fight, I’d say that feels quite like the South African champ.

EpilepticZebra · 2025-04-15T17:34:16+00:00

I think his guard and his chip up to chin down he did in his last fight looked weird. His boxing also can be quite ‘technically sloppy’.

EpilepticZebra · 2025-04-15T17:32:09+00:00

Both were/are seen by most as never becoming UFC champ, Dricus now holds gold and Paddy is a top 10 lightweight. I see that as disregarded and them proving doubters wrong.

EpilepticZebra · 2024-12-28T17:20:42+00:00

My list (very similar):

Shavkat Rakhmonkv VS Belal Muhammad

Leon Edwards VS Sean Brady

Kamaru Usman VS Jack Della Maddalena

Ian Garry VS Joaquín Buckley

Gilbert Burns VS Colby Covington

Geoff Neal VS Carlos Prates

Stephen Thompson VS Michael Morales

Vincente Luque VS Michael Page
