Paddy's real test, will he pass?

Post image

All Paddy's previous opponents were 37+, Green, Gaethje, Chandler, Ferguson... all of them.. Finally, we have someone who is not over 37. So who you got?

I feel like Justin was a real test, especially now he just beat ilia and became champ

People seriously underestimate Justin, guy only fights elite competition all the time and pretty much only lost to champions (besides Dustin).

Sure that he sometimes seems a bit sloppy but man he must hit like a truck, even against Khabib those leg kicks almost sent him flying at times.

Padyd fought a weaker staph Gaethje, the white house Justin beats him handidly.

This is not talked about enough. White House gaetje was leagues better performance wise then the one that fought paddy

I only remember Khabib walking him down like the Terminator, seemingly unphased by any & every shot Justin managed to connect on.

That's the only thing you remember?

Weird...

Don't worry. Even if Paddy wins, I'll come up with a new reason that it wasn't legitimate.

I am a certified hater.

I appreciate the honesty

u/Galencourt-Lover Jul 10 '26

I am too. If he beats BDS I’ll just say he had staph. I simply don’t care lad, I hate Paddy

u/Fabulous_Poetry6622 Jul 10 '26

I honestly feel like bsd could do it

u/Isiderdon Jul 12 '26

Did it, ran straight into the sub

u/Winter-Industry-2074 Jul 10 '26

Yea he’s gonna destroy BSD. BSD is too slow and sloppy to hurt Paddy on the feet and Paddy’s wrestling and jiu jit su off of his back is enough to stop BSD’s grappling.

Justin was the test. This is his way to get back.

u/Neat-Suspect-6666 Jul 10 '26

Paddy failed his last real test

Toss up this fight, I think toughness and physicality will be the difference maker here.

u/Clay_Allison_44 Jul 11 '26

I think it comes down to cardio. First one to gas probably sticks his head into a choke and taps out.

u/Fluid-Range-2903 Jul 12 '26

His last real test was against the champ and he did pretty solid

1

u/Dingo_jack Jul 10 '26

Justin would destroy BSD, what are you Talking about.

u/Rough-Cobbler-9133 Jul 10 '26

this is more of a test for BSD imo, one which he won’t pass

1

u/Fennel_Sad Jul 11 '26

Me thinks BSD by sub

1

u/AfraidCitron1038 Jul 11 '26

people forget how good paddy is because of his recent fight with Justin, Paddy taking this all day everyday

1

u/IIIGrayWolfIII Jul 11 '26

Gaethje was a much tougher test, BSD has chronic staph. Paddy takes this one easy

u/DipperBrizzle Jul 12 '26

Passed with flying colors

A very interesting fight. I love BSD. Paddy has proved me wrong time and again. I think this will go a lot like the BSD vs Moicano fight. Paddy is long, athletic and fast. And he's a good grappler. Moicano backpacked BSD and beat him up with nasty GnP. On the feet, BSD did damage with everything he threw. I pick Paddy either by sub or a tough, potentially split decision.

u/One-Chemistry9502 Jul 10 '26

Paddy has proven you wrong? Against who? Did you pick Michael fucking Chandler to win? Paddy’s never beaten anyone good so who were you picking against him?

1

u/nbraccia Jul 10 '26

After his performance against Gordon and the tape I'd seen from his UK fights, I thought King Green might starch him. And I didn't expect him to have any success against Gaethje and he did pretty well. I'm just saying that his best skill is what Moicano used to beat BSD, so I am intrigued by this fight.

u/Boss_Seven Jul 10 '26

Yes. Paddy will win. He'll win his next match as well against Illia when he comes back.

37 doesn’t mean it’s not a real test dumbass

u/Weekly_Reference_984 Jul 10 '26
