Is Paddy the baddy the new Notorious?

[Jehannum]

Yikes and he lost last night as the betting favorite.

UK's last hope.

Paddy "The Baddy" Pimblett? Who the f calls himself a baddy? That's what I would call a female in the states.

UK's last hope for what?

I've been hearing alot about this kid for sometime now as he was being heralded as 'the next McGregor'. However, after last night and his fight against Juicy J, it appears he is more the heir to Cathal Pendred than McGregor. There is no question tho, as a business prospect, the kid appears to be able to rake in the cash.

So, where do you think his future is - UFC bound, Bellator bound or the Mariusz Pudzianowski of Liverpool (crushing cans in his backyard)? Do you think he can fix his holes in his game to be competitive in the UFC or just no? And if he fixes his holes, how far can he go - top 10, 20, 30? Champ? Champ-Champ?

his ju jitsu is good, his standup not so much.
he spent most of the fight skillfully blocking punches with his face, and was at a clear strength disadvantage on the ground.
halfway through round 2 you could see him thinking ive bitten off more than i can chew here.
less talk, more training at a good gym for a while will tell wether he will amount to anything.

Get a haircut for one - nothing to do with his look - even if he moves his head to avoid a punch the hair swishes like he's been hit! Although he did get hit - a lot - on Saturday.

As far as his skillset goes - he's tough and has a good chin - and looks a handful on the ground when he's on top - a lot to work with there.

 

[qw3rty]

he will never be champ in UFC or Bellator IMO
However, he will be signed for one of those org only to carry that Irish hype ala Gallagher or Lobov

 

[InfinityLens]

WSOF should make a play for his services, they have the right level of comp and look what having a Conor wannabe has done for Bellator.

 

[Katsumi Yamada]

Potential to star in "the inbetweeners" remake

 

[Khabib Fan]

I keep hearing about him but I haven't seen him fight yet. Apparently he's tearing up the U.K. scene.

 

[Kingz]

This guy should skip “The Rocket” era Owen Hart and become The Nation Owen Hart if he intends to fight in the big leagues

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

Hes decent but would get torn to shreds in the UFC tbh. His schtick and look would not translate very well at all outside of the UK and Ireland either.

 

[Koniradi98]

I like Cage Warriors but just can't stand this guy. A shame that they are promoting him that much.

 

[DarkneT]

Guy makes me cringe


HARD

 

[GoldenAzazel]

Paddy "The Pimp Daddy" Pimblett is dominating the UK fight scene and on his way to taking over world mma and there's nothing you jelly cvnts can do about it, yeah?!

This is some cringey shit, right here.

 

[GoldenAzazel]

Nah, he'd get beaten by plenty of British lightweights and featherweights. He's just got a big mouth and an entertaining style.

 

[CC27]

Good bounce back win for him and I'm assuming he'll end up on a UFC or Bellator UK show this year but I just dont think he's gonna be a big time fighter on the big stage. Maybe I'm wrong but I think he'll get beat by mid level fighters.

Still would be a good pickup for either org cause he's got a bit of a name over there so def can use him especially Bellator as a ticket seller. They also probably could build him up better with regional level guys to fight while in UFC even the low end guys are gonna be tough as hell to beat.

 

[12ga.]

lol even Tony Ferguson is watching this kid - it was a pretty sick sub setup though
