The Schmo is a legend. Who else is going and grappling guys he’s interviewing. Unreal.

I was literally going to write this exact comment, Schmo you are a legend!

Schmo would destroy Ariel

[@wiseijebor8781]

The way the schmo gets back in character when Paddy gives him his glasses is hilarious😂 2:57

[@coffeeyouu]

Anyone else notice Paddy throwing sand at the start lmao *Tony reference* 😂

[@deshan79]

oh damn you are right...I thought that was a nut grab lol. As soon as you mentioned sand I remembered Tony doing that sand throw.

All I want for Christmas is for Tony to beat Paddy and retire.

[@TheMindOfOpex]

Paddy is in shape a couple months before his fight! Looks like he is really taking it seriously

[@TheTrueWelshIdiot]

For all the media and nonsense on the Mic, when doesn't he take it seriously? (Not having a go, just pointing out that as a professional fighter, he's incredibly dedicated).

[@AdamchristianChambers2017]

So he should be this is Tony fegurson we are talking about this is his biggest fight in his whole career if Tony loses that's it he is finished

[@cavior44]

They were remodeling the kebab shop next to the gym for the last two months. It's gonna be open next week...

[@tymotoboy53]

Damn if paddy is already in this good of shape he’s gonna be shredded by the fight…he’s taking this very seriously now I can tell.

[@fablenumber1fan]

I hope that is why he has been quiet after hisnlast fight and the back lash. If he has knuckled down and been in the gym all this time, fair play to him

[@natemarx4999]

The Schmo gave Paddy a solid fight

Paddy can’t fight you’ll find that out soon

@@Niall489I bet he can fight better than you

[@MeehalMyers]

Paddy isnt a prospect for those who consider him one, hes nearly 30 had 20+ fights and still cant tuck his chin and thats why he got hit with every left hand Gordon threw and got a gift decision.

[@rpo22]

Bro, he is 28. Thats very young for MMA fighter. Get away with your hate and envy. You are a loser!

[@ytToxicDreams]

Unanimous* decision

[@blurryhaze4191]

Just curious how many times have you had a cage fight with a broken ankle?

[@MeehalMyers]

​@blurryhaze4191 it's not just the Gordon fight he never tucks his chin or moves his head off center line unless your going to say his ankle is always broken every fight?

[@ytToxicDreams]

@MeehalMyers what does it matter that he keeps his chin up? You clearly don't like him so why not want him to get KO'd? He clearly gets hit, but he's also won his fights. Keeps it entertaining

[@junipersnow1]

Cool we are getting the cool version of Paddy here. 🙏🏼

[@jodypierson3137]

Tony going to ankle pick and pull immediately.

[@00L000]

And lose

[@rickferrey1509]

Paddy is legit. It was so fun to watch y’all go. Best wishes to both you gents.

[@branthudson2116]

That fuckin flying triangle was cleannnnn ,had that all locked in before he ever hit mat,just had to bring that arm across the face after the roll. IDGAF who you are ever if you are practicing that move with someone and and they are just standing there letting you do this ,it's still hard to lock everything in like that mid air

[@mikemichaels2914]

Not that hard to do it on a Schmo lol. I could do that in my sleep. Basics 101 easy money

That smooth transition into becoming the Schmo was 👌

Paddy seems slightly humble. Starting to grow up, possibly. We'll have to wait and see how he is at the press conferences.

[@korosuchimu1479]

That opening is GOLD❤

[@willking9662]

Paddy looks to be in great shape. I would watch out if he enters the fight focused. Not having to worry about dropping weight might make him more dangerous than ever. Go Paddy!

[@vincesteis4259]

In Shape Paddy New Mythical Fighter

[@JTJ92]

This is the Paddy we missed, bit of chip on the shoulder and a bit of focus

[@adequatequality]

Good to see Paddy staying in pretty decent shape weeks off from the Tony fight. I hope he starts taking his health more seriously cuz if he wants to start fighting ranked guys, he'll need to turn up his training.

[@ljuan5000]

Underrated comment. He may be taking his fight career seriously now.

[@lolBrand0]

I like the heel move really play the baddy and i cant wait to see the fight

[@robertm9490]

I hope Paddy keeps that chin up in the air so that Tony can knock it off!!

Absolutely

Jarrod had an embarrassing performance. Paddy had a broken ankle round one and it was still close. Terrible

[@andrewbrooks8091]

Quite the intro pmwl! The Schmo gets stuck in, respect!

[@RealJesseONFIRE]

SCHMO! When he takes your back, peel a hook before he locks figure four and get your back on the floor. Connect your knee and elbow as you turn toward him to stop him from mounting. Crunch up like a Rollie polie to get an under hook with your top arm and move into a deep half series sweep /back take. ….and now I’m off to go watch Logan & Dillon

[@Anonymousbountyhunter]

Love it man!!!!

i like this, excellent content schmo and team. very good interview schmo i like the energy and your clear dedication to keep it straight but also allow the fighter their honors. i like paddy here and what his message is so far, halfway through the vid and paddy lookin pretty good. lets see paddy, you do this and well see, because people wanna say whatever about tony but look bobby green just wupped dude everyone was saying was superstar quality but when hes fighting tony theyre like oh tony is washed like ok keep putting him against the most dynamic creative talented fighters in the sport just read off the list of losses and get outa here, he was piecing up chandler, you can say whatever about nate but nate is not slow hes wierd like that and look at bobby green, look at gaethje, like ok he just won for the bmf so yeah lets see how paddy looks i wont even predict anything yet.

Paddy suits the shades.

[@ryanbuckner2405]

All paddy had to do was say that it was a very close fight and that Jared was extremely tough and he’d have to go back and watch it and everybody would have been fine with it, but he went on like a jackass and now people want to see him get destroyed. But hey, that sells fights too!

SCHMO VS JESSE ON FIRE

[@jasonbaldini]

Remember what everyone has been saying even before that other fight, he doesn’t take it serious he gains too much weight, eats horrible, etc. Schmo did macho man again, anyway we seen the videos we know Paddy loves food especially when you live in such a culinary crap hole like UK. But people said he doesn’t have it in him. And look at him 2 months before the fight. I guess he listened.

[@AMediumSizedKodiak]

If he’s been quiet for months because he decided to double down in the gym then it’s possible we will be seeing an entirely different Paddy in the octagon.

[@LIIIIIFE]

IMAGINE BEING THE HEAD OF THE FAMILY AS A MAN WHO IS KNOWN AS A SCHMO.

[@DanDanDaaaan]

HE wants to make a statement against someone who is on a 6 fight losing streak. Lolol. Paddy got jokes

[@bennwaters5851]

It seems peoples criticism of Paddy is really getting to him. He just can’t accept what people thought of the Gordon fight outcome. This Tony fight is going to be a whole new experience for him. The crowd is going to be 100% behind Tony.

[@L3WIS666]

Paddy was lucky The Schmo didn’t have his yellow glasses on or he would of got slept in jits

I thought the schmo was going to pull out a ouchi gari or a quick isoto gari when he got paddy up against the pillar.. it was there he nearly had the body lock.. if the schmo grew up training judo.. i thought that would have been epic if the schmo threw paddy .. but i think he definitely trains is probably blue belt level in jits

[@danielmclaren170890]

Paddy should stop worrying about what everyone is saying and just let the fighting do the talking.
