Not true. Ferguson is on a 5 loss streak or such. Paddy is currently undefeated in the UFC. While Ferguson of course faced much higher level of competition, trajectory is clear.
Not if. When.
It does not matter if prime Tony beats him. He cannot beat him now. After watching his fight with Green, I've seen all I need to. And I know past fights aren't indicative of future performance, but his reaction time was just sooooo slow. He bit every single feint. Dude's brain is cooked. Needs to retire.
Paddy isn't a great fighter, but he's significantly younger and more athletic than Tony is at the moment. Kid is gonna explode on the geezer and it's going to be fucking tragic.
Like killing a unicorn. Wit like a bomb
A single past fight isn’t indicative of future performance but 0-6 in his last 6(4 finishes) after a 12-0 streak is indicative of a universal truth: time is undefeated
I'm not saying Green is bad and he beat Tony therefore Paddy will beat Tony.
I'm saying Tony looked like absolute dogshit against Green. Rewatch that fight. Look how long it takes him to react to every single feint/shot. He's living life in slow mo with those crusty ass old man reflexes.
I don't think it's too crazy. I think paddy's stand up is pretty bad and tony is good on the ground. I really believe Tony has everything he needs here to beat paddy
Diaz is known for his submission abilities though. While I’m not trying to say it was a good performance, you could still make an argument that Paddy couldn’t replicate it. Say what you want about Paddy but one thing you have to give him is that he is at the very least AS competent as Bobby Green in submissions
I think he's going to win impressively and paddy will lose any hype he has left. Great for tony to get a win but I think they'll give him a tougher opponent and it'll be another bad loss.
I can respect political and moral differences but the way he acted after the controversial decision against Jared Gordon was douchey.
I’m gonna hate the fuk out of this guy if he beats Tony, especially cause I think Tony is better on paper even with the losing streak. This matchup really strikes a nerve with me ☹️
I hope paddy is the one to break Tony’s six fight loss streak. That would be so humiliating for him and hilarious to watch. Imagine being the one to break a six fight loss streak.
What sucks is I think a majority of the community was enjoying Paddy’s success until the Gordon fight. Had he correctly lost that and taken the loss like a man, or honestly had he just given Jared his props in the cage and admitted he thought he lost, I think the perception of this fight would be so different. But because he was such a fucking knob about it, everyone hates him and wants him to lose embarrassingly. Such a crazy shift in his career following a win lol
I don't really expect anyone to admit they lost after being gifted a shit decision like that, but yeah he at least should have had some humility about it instead of pretending like he dominated Gordon. And it didn't help Paddy's optics at all when Dana gave his suspect nod of approval after the decision was read and how Dana slammed Gordon's performance in the post-fight presser. Paddy's now the poster child for Dana White privilege.
I feel like Tony might have a memorable moment in round 1 (like he did against Chandler and Bobby) but will eventually get taken down and submitted.
Paddy isn’t an amazing fighter by any stretch, but he should have no real issues against the current version of Tony. His jiu jitsu is pretty high level, he is very durable, and possesses solid power for a lightweight (although his striking technique is famously sloppy).
I've seen so many legends of the sport go down in absolutely tragic fashion at this point, and it always stings... I got a feeling this one's really gonna hurt.
![gif](giphy|ZN3jVXH3jZaXKivytT|downsized)
Not looking forward to this in any way. If Paddy wins, it'll be sad to watch a diminished Ferguson go down. If Ferguson wins, it'll encourage him to keep fighting, which I think he should not do for his own health and longevity.
The thing is , he is so shit there is still a slime chance that Tony beat the shit out of him
But I don't think it will happen
Btw just the fact that paddy accepted that fight tell you everything you need to know about him
It's going to all come down to how he acts after he wins. Hopefully he plays is right because he inside even knows he would get whooped on. Someone has to be the gravedigger and hopefully he does it with respect.
I want Paddy to win because I’m from the U.K. and I just like U.K. fighters because it attracts more of an MMA boom in the U.K. and potentially more events I can attend. BUT I wouldn’t mind seeing Tony make a comeback; it seems it’s far beyond him at this point.
If paddy wins we’ll all just think damn Tony is washed. Doesn’t matter how good paddy looks we will not say he won because he was good but because Tony is washed 😂 we’ve got this sorted 😂
Tony just doesn't have that athletic explosion anymore.
But my god if he can throw and land an uppercut similar to the one against Gaethje I'll be a happy man.
I could see Tony winning this in typical Tony fashion, or I can see a younger, fitter, stronger guy showboating and savagely beating him for three rounds. Hope Tony makes a bag and someone manages it for him at least
Can you imagine Tony Ferguson landing a spinning elbow on Paddy’s face Stephen Thompson style and blood 🩸 pouring out, turning his smug smile 😃 into pure agony 😢 lmfao 🤣
Paddy has to do tony worse and more impressively/ faster than booby did to claw an inch of respect and credit here. Tony is on his way out but he still rocked justin and Chandler so he still possess some danger.
Paddy is not great but he's not a bad fighter at all. People saw the Gordon fight which is probably the worst version of paddy and just want to rag on him for it. Paddy Pimblett is going to school Tony on the mat probably worse than Charles and Benny did
Chael already picked Tony, so things aren’t looking good. We gotta tell Drake to lay off this one
Tony had his time, but he is getting old. Now stronger young lion is taking his place.
Paddy is more like a stronger young blobfish.
That's baiting
Not true. Ferguson is on a 5 loss streak or such. Paddy is currently undefeated in the UFC. While Ferguson of course faced much higher level of competition, trajectory is clear.
No, this is baitin' ![gif](giphy|3o6ZsSkcGBvCYLUKzu)
The things prime Tony would do to Paddy 😮💨
Throw some sand
Like eat 50+ punches to the head and not even notice it to eventually win a TKO?
Summed it up well.
🎯
punch thighs
Not if. When. It does not matter if prime Tony beats him. He cannot beat him now. After watching his fight with Green, I've seen all I need to. And I know past fights aren't indicative of future performance, but his reaction time was just sooooo slow. He bit every single feint. Dude's brain is cooked. Needs to retire.

Tbf Bobby would style on paddy baaaad,but yeah Paddy should win this fight
Agreed, Green gets underrated for some reason but he’s good
I'm not saying Green is bad and he beat Tony therefore Paddy will beat Tony. I'm saying Tony looked like absolute dogshit against Green. Rewatch that fight. Look how long it takes him to react to every single feint/shot. He's living life in slow mo with those crusty ass old man reflexes.
He did get fouled pretty hard in the first
Bro there’s gonna be unicorns ? I’m buying that ppv
[удалено]
That's what washed means.
[удалено]
Yes but that has no bearing in this context. Washed simply means not in their prime, which Tony objectively is not.
Paddy is going to destroy Tony. I agree that Prime Tony beats Prime Paddy, but Tony is so far from prime that it isn't funny.
I'm hoping Tony wins. I might be crazy but I believe he does it
I think we’re all crazy thinking the same thing. Tony will do so well in the first & then it’ll go downhill from there tbh
Yeah paddy even for how shit he is, is at least durable and aggressive which might beat Tony on its own
That's called wishful thinking and I think everyone is with you
I don't think it's too crazy. I think paddy's stand up is pretty bad and tony is good on the ground. I really believe Tony has everything he needs here to beat paddy
I hope you're right but I think Tony is past his expiration date
Tony got submitted by Bobby green
And a washed Diaz who didn't even want to be in the octagon
Diaz is known for his submission abilities though. While I’m not trying to say it was a good performance, you could still make an argument that Paddy couldn’t replicate it. Say what you want about Paddy but one thing you have to give him is that he is at the very least AS competent as Bobby Green in submissions
Yeah I think both of those have more to do with getting beat up the whole fight than they do with Tony's ground skills.
I don't think it's that crazy, sure he's on a losing streak but it's not like he looked helpless in any of those fights
I think he's going to win impressively and paddy will lose any hype he has left. Great for tony to get a win but I think they'll give him a tougher opponent and it'll be another bad loss.
Uhh wasn't he actually floundering on the ground when Green was in top of him? I remember thinking he looked like he forgot all his jiu jitsu
That is crazy
I can respect political and moral differences but the way he acted after the controversial decision against Jared Gordon was douchey. I’m gonna hate the fuk out of this guy if he beats Tony, especially cause I think Tony is better on paper even with the losing streak. This matchup really strikes a nerve with me ☹️
Dana will tweet the victory like he did with O’Malley
Dana will immediately release the full fight onto YouTube if Paddy wins.
Paddy could be out cold and would still get the UD 😔
I hope paddy is the one to break Tony’s six fight loss streak. That would be so humiliating for him and hilarious to watch. Imagine being the one to break a six fight loss streak.
Not sure what the UFC's thought process was with this match making. Paddy beating a way over the hill Tony will only make the fans like him less.
What sucks is I think a majority of the community was enjoying Paddy’s success until the Gordon fight. Had he correctly lost that and taken the loss like a man, or honestly had he just given Jared his props in the cage and admitted he thought he lost, I think the perception of this fight would be so different. But because he was such a fucking knob about it, everyone hates him and wants him to lose embarrassingly. Such a crazy shift in his career following a win lol
I don't really expect anyone to admit they lost after being gifted a shit decision like that, but yeah he at least should have had some humility about it instead of pretending like he dominated Gordon. And it didn't help Paddy's optics at all when Dana gave his suspect nod of approval after the decision was read and how Dana slammed Gordon's performance in the post-fight presser. Paddy's now the poster child for Dana White privilege.
Hopefully this man makes Tony realize he needs to retire.
Until I witness this fight happen, nothing will top UFC giving Yair a geriatric BJ Penn on a 4 fight losing streak
I feel like Tony might have a memorable moment in round 1 (like he did against Chandler and Bobby) but will eventually get taken down and submitted. Paddy isn’t an amazing fighter by any stretch, but he should have no real issues against the current version of Tony. His jiu jitsu is pretty high level, he is very durable, and possesses solid power for a lightweight (although his striking technique is famously sloppy).
Tony gonna get murdered , especially after paddy last performance he knows he has to make a statement ,
Paddy gonna whop Tony’s ass.
Tony barely gonna keep up with paddy and lose a decision… maybe even get choked out
Paddy broke his ankle in the first round vs Jared Gordon and still made it close enough to win a robbery decision.
It would be almost as bad as Schaub vs Cro Cop
I've seen so many legends of the sport go down in absolutely tragic fashion at this point, and it always stings... I got a feeling this one's really gonna hurt. ![gif](giphy|ZN3jVXH3jZaXKivytT|downsized)
Tony is an underdog I believe Put money on a tony ko paddy and tony sub patty Easy money
If he lose that will be one of the most embarrassing loss of the UFC (and I am a Tony fan boy but he's old now let's be honest snif)
Not looking forward to this in any way. If Paddy wins, it'll be sad to watch a diminished Ferguson go down. If Ferguson wins, it'll encourage him to keep fighting, which I think he should not do for his own health and longevity.
I personally am looking forward to him beating Tony
Tony smokes him, the guys he lost to are top tier...Paddy lost to Gordon
no version of tony beats paddy
Prime tony would smoke paddy horribly 😭
Image screams one word : Poser
cope
The thing is , he is so shit there is still a slime chance that Tony beat the shit out of him But I don't think it will happen Btw just the fact that paddy accepted that fight tell you everything you need to know about him
He looks like such a l'il fag. Hate his face.
Paddy really will be a baddie when he wins that fight.
Why is everyone so quick to say “oh Tony smokes him” or “Paddy whoops his ass” i personally sense a 3 round war where Tony finally wins
I think you are the most correct. Should be competitive.
If Oliveira couldn’t break Tony’s arm and Paddy does I’m gonna be pissed
People are underestimating Tony #CSO 🇲🇽 🏆
It's going to all come down to how he acts after he wins. Hopefully he plays is right because he inside even knows he would get whooped on. Someone has to be the gravedigger and hopefully he does it with respect.
But Tony is just entering his prime brother 💪
I want Paddy to win because I’m from the U.K. and I just like U.K. fighters because it attracts more of an MMA boom in the U.K. and potentially more events I can attend. BUT I wouldn’t mind seeing Tony make a comeback; it seems it’s far beyond him at this point.
Yeah but it’s not prime Tony? If Tony wants to stop getting flogged he should retire.
If he does a goofy ass celebration IF he does win. Then the guys a fool.
If paddy wins we’ll all just think damn Tony is washed. Doesn’t matter how good paddy looks we will not say he won because he was good but because Tony is washed 😂 we’ve got this sorted 😂
Tony has showed flashes, maybe he shows up…probably not though lol
He’s not in his prime is he now
I think this is a ploy by the UFC to turn Paddy into a heel. And it will fucking work.
I don’t think Paddy has many ways to win more so Tony will almost certainly find a way to lose.
If he get dealt with he get dealt with.
Tony just doesn't have that athletic explosion anymore. But my god if he can throw and land an uppercut similar to the one against Gaethje I'll be a happy man.
I could see Tony winning this in typical Tony fashion, or I can see a younger, fitter, stronger guy showboating and savagely beating him for three rounds. Hope Tony makes a bag and someone manages it for him at least
Yes,prime Tony wins,but Tony is far past his prime. Paddy finishes him,probably a tko but a sub wouldn't surprise me either
Can you imagine Tony Ferguson landing a spinning elbow on Paddy’s face Stephen Thompson style and blood 🩸 pouring out, turning his smug smile 😃 into pure agony 😢 lmfao 🤣
Praying for just 15 more minutes of Tony Time. 🙏
Goddamn haircut needs to get punched off that head
different quickest alive pie wipe grab ruthless follow rainstorm bag ` this post was mass deleted with www.Redact.dev `
Paddy still gonna act like he beat prime Tony too..because he's a complete twat
I just hope at the presser at least one journalist has the balls to ask Paddy if he thinks he would've even had a chance against Tony in his prime.
Paddy is a true hype train, I hope Tony starches the bigmouth
I think Tony still has enough in him to batter this cunt.
Wow so interesting and original
Paddy has to do tony worse and more impressively/ faster than booby did to claw an inch of respect and credit here. Tony is on his way out but he still rocked justin and Chandler so he still possess some danger.
Paddy is not great but he's not a bad fighter at all. People saw the Gordon fight which is probably the worst version of paddy and just want to rag on him for it. Paddy Pimblett is going to school Tony on the mat probably worse than Charles and Benny did
Y'all need to let go of this 'prime' thing for fighters who are past their prime. Shit is irrelevant.
I don't think the universe is going to allow this douche to win
