Im a 19 year old amateur fighter in the US and you’ve grown to be my favorite fighter and an inspiration, no doubt you’ll be the ufc champion in the next few years.

When your in Paul's company you just wanna get up and get something done. The man is an inspiration and deserves it all. Keep doing what your doing bro. Also great content ❤️

Wow! Amazing documentary and story very inspirational! Respect and honour a true champion and martial arts warrior! With what hes been through and come out on top is incredible! His path and journey was similar to mine when i was fighting. Peopke dont realise the sacrifice the oain struggle blood sweat tears everything a fighter goes though to be the best they can be! Getting up early to go work in construction all day then after go training and teaching martial arts every day! So i know the feeling and sacrifices you have to go through! So well done congratulations Respect and honour!

I like Paul, he's a well rounded fighter with the right attitude but he needs to cool it with the constant world champion talk. The worlds best don't compete in cage warriors, not even close.

[@aodhan7066]

I take it you've never heard of Conor McGregor then?

[@PB22559]

@@aodhan7066 What has Mcgregor got to do with my comment? As I said, I like Paul and think he's a really good fighter, very well rounded. I've enjoyed watching his content on here and his fights. I've also got no issues with Paul believing he can go and win the FW belt in the UFC. You have to believe in yourself. ...but anyone claiming cage warriors is a world championship competition needs their head read.

[@aodhan7066]

@@PB22559 Conor McGregor was a Cage Warriors world champion, as was Michael Bisping my friend

[@PB22559]

@@aodhan7066 I know. Mcgregor won the cage warriors belt at FW and LW. What's your point?? Cage warriors is NOT a world championship organisation by ANY stretch of the imagination.

[@lorcster6694]

@@PB22559 cage warriors is like every other MMA promotion in the world, its a stepping stone to the UFC. Don't think anyone has claimed the best fighters in the world are in cage warriors, never heard paul say that

[@CaseyKCRichards]

Cool it my ass.. dont try to hinder his dreams.. so negative. Believe to achieve.And you now he he did become World Champion.
