Others call him a UFC hype job, criticize his antics and dietary habits. It's time to take a close look at Paddy Pimblett's career, full of flying submissions and ruthless finishes.

@@loudenvier I'm sure this is just a difference in terminology in different disciplines. In freestyle wrestling, they would be called hip tosses, but I'm sure they are called leg throws in your own experience.

[@loudenvier]

@@rustygray5058 The important aspect in classifying a throw (in jiu-jitsu and judo, cant't talk about freestyle wrestling) is the center of rotation. You can see that when he throws the center of rotation is on the leg, not the hips, hence it's classified as a leg throw in jiu-jitsu and judo. But classifying throws correctly is hard. Most jiu-jitsu schools will classify seoi-nage (over-the-should arm drag) as a hip throw when in fact it is a hand technique. A wrestling hip toss, in judo, is normally called either o-goshi or harai-goshi (goshi=hip), the center of rotation is over the hips, and most people will fail to differentiate it from ashi-guruma because of the leg position which is similar in harai-goshi. You can call these throws hip-tosses if your discipline calls it that way, I'm not complaining! But it's not the hips that are the principal aspect of these throws he is doing, it's the legs ;-)

He’ll never be champ because his defence is non existent. Good fighters don’t rush in trying to swing for the fences and block punches with their face in the process, they know when to attack and when to sit back and look to counter. He’s going to learn the hard way if he ever faces a top 15 guy

[@miskervbhsd8619]

@@joshf-w9602 you are describing a play by book fighters, yes they are efficient until they loose their cool and get drawn down. Defense nowadays is pretty rare outside of grappling. Sure we can say keeping someone at range is a defense but outside of that most of the top 15 ain't playing defense outside of that in UFC nowadays anyways coz it is considered boring and boring doesn't make money. Sure if you go for the people that aren't born to fight, they have to play by book. You train really hard to do everything the recipe have you prescribed to get high (*won't be enough to be a champ tho). Seems simple but it's of course not. Take for example Islam Makhachev which for the UFC title paddy would have to fight. Islam is a natural born fighter with the finest coaches and fighters around the world has seen. Does he really play by book ? No, defense? Not really, it just looks more calm, it doesn't mean he's a defender. But he always looks to punch at the same time as their opponent and just win with the guts. But if he had fought with paddy, as much as I love paddies brawling style, Islam right now is just 3 levels above in everything except for grappling in which they are even or a little in Islams advantage as well in my opinion. Paddy would need to get a lot higher conditioning, increase VO2max to another level and keep grinding grappling to the point he would not stand for entire 5 rounds and only then in my opinion he would have chance to win against Islam.

[@joshf-w9602]

@@miskervbhsd8619 out of all that the only thing I gathered was you think Paddy’s grappling is equal to Islam, that’s a beyond ridiculous statement, Islam has elite wrestling and sambo, he more than held his own with an ADCC champ in Davi Ramos, Paddy has good moves from the back but that’s really the only part of his grappling that is top class

Dana offered him contracts, which he turned down, so they clearly seen a market for him to go down very early on. he's deffo upped his game from those ferrero rocher fights at the Echo. let's just see where he goes from here. Hopefully he's gonna go far.

[@kevinfuso9923]

As a former mma lover who used to watch every single fight and train at my local gym, this lad makes me want to go back to training and watching all of his fights. Such a charismatic person who spreads nothing but positive vibes and rocks it every time in the octagon. Cheers to you Paddy, best of successes.

"Unsurprisingly the Frenchman capitulated in under a minute" 😂😂😂😂😂

[@pstewart5443]

Looks like he has an absolutely brutal ground game. He's made out of rubber. I mean damn some of his escapes and triangles. He's ridiculously fast in his transitions and instinctually knows where his opponent is at and responds with a counter. Id argue he needs a tougher jaw, but damn it appears he uses that like a trap-door spider to lure his victim into the fastest grappler in the sport. He seems like a good dude with his head in the right place. I so wish this type of sport was around when I was a kid. Id have jumped all over this, but we had boring martial arts.

[@stefcioss1]

What's really insane for me is his hips strength, this is a real advantage same way as Khabib, he just can glue himself with hips to opponent, that's make him really deadly on the ground

[@Gazmus]

Christ this channel is prolific. I love Paddy...but he is a massive hype job :) Can't keep blocking so many punches with his face when he starts fighting ranked guys.

[@notoftentold4076]

He is deluded and those people will be humbled sooner or later

[@1fast72nova]

Me and my friend are casual mma watchers and the first time we saw him we kinda chuckled but by the end of the fight we both agreed Paddy IS a Baddy! But, yes he's gonna have to work on the bob and weave for stiffer competition and a long career. But the guys got skills

[@TheGimmelstob]

Definitely. He is pretty fun to watch... Hopefully he winds up in a good school to tighten up his stand up/defense.

@@1fast72nova I understand why you would think that. But everyone in the top 10, is an incredibly hard hitter than anyone who he has fought so far. And they are excellent at ground game and in stand-up. I used to like Paddy before, but he runs his mouth too much without much substance to it 😅

Really watch the video. He is amazing on the ground, and stand up. Having a strong jaw BTW is one of the biggest things you need to have in fighting!

[@npyrhone2]

@@josephwickham1989 Strong jaw is good, unless the strength of your jaw is tested in everyone of your first 20 fights. If you get a ton of beating, you will end up with a serious condition when you are like 55. I know he is your hero and everything, but you shouldn't celebrate his strong jaw. You should hope he learns to avoid taking that much beating.

[@bookaufman9643]

The UFC loves to have British contenders but Paddy still has a lot of holes in his game. I think that's why they're moving him up through the rankings pretty slowly. His lack of defense is probably his biggest problem but that's a problem that he can repair. He's definitely not a contender yet.

[@pedrobossio5440]

Agreed.

[@speez71]

Agreed. He'll get knocked out if he don't protect his chin. He can take it, but there will be a straw on the camels back if it keeps happening.

[@jdoe3006]

Despite his antics of immunity to knock outs, he'll get knocked out soon if he dont work on his stand up defense.

[@merlinazo]

I think that paddy has a beast to defeat and that's the undefeated Ilia "El matador", his record of 12-0 is something to keep in mind, even tho he is not the best trashtalker he has the potential to be a major figure in the featherweight class. Even paddy doesn't want to mess to much with him, yeah he says all kinds of things about Ilia, but he has refused to fight against him because he knows that he has nothing to do vs Ilia

[@twisted6671]

Not the champion we asked for! But definitely The warrior we needed

[@billythebass2007]

Watching Paddy get rocked in his early career before ufc, and the way he always came back to win, showed me the lad is the real deal. He got a solid chin, and now he got the intelligence, power and experience. PTB is going to be world champ one day.

[@drazicmilosovic1065]

He craves the love - if he works more on his guard / protecting himself, he’ll survive and thrive longer, get bigger opportunities, and harvest more of those cheers that keep him working.

[@andrewscott6828]

Good for him: he can obviously talk the talk and is proving that he can also walk the walk. Until he's bested he can do whatever the hell he wants - there's a world of difference between being confident and being cocky but there's also room to be a bit of both when you've reached his level...

[@pedrobossio5440]

I like Paddy, he's got talent and a ground game hard to beat. If he's going to be a UFC Champ he's going to have to dramatically improve his boxing, specifically defensive, leaves left hand down, don't move laterally and gets tagged a lot. The other thing is to really get serious about getting in top shape, per what I've seen and heard, he eats too much of the wrong stuff and doesn't train hard enough.
