This guy is the real deal.

[@floydgayweather]

Most humans have 2 arms but Paul has 3.. Both of his and Jamahals 😂😂😂

[@DarkCloudNC]

I predicted a submission for Craig

[@krispiracy6846]

He embodies William Wallace better than anyone I know lol... Or maybe Marcus Ornellas would be a better comparison. Stoicism in this day and age is becoming rare I wanted him to win so bad after Jamahal started acting tough... Especially after finding out his beef is racist internet trolls lol... But I though Craig was going to get pieced up like Ovince Saint Preaux. That just made his brutal response SOOO much more satisfying... I was a hater I must admit lol

[@IntrigueAvenue]

​@@krispiracy6846 I dunno man, it feels like nowadays it's considered (by a certain crowd) worse to call someone racist than actually being racist / not be opposed to outward racism. I get why Hill would be heated up by internet trolls, obviously the only distinction being that Craig wasn't encouraging the racist trolling. Craig implied Hill faked getting covid, so there was more to the beef than racism. Craig himself gets pretty cold blooded before his fights, I just see it as a way to hype themselves up for a fight. I don't see either guy as the villain. I feel bad for Hill that his injury is partially a result of poor refereeing.

[@rogbot]

True, I think it would improve his clinch drastically, and while I obviously don't think he should focus on striking with his opponents, having a larger array of knees and elbows in the clinch might give them more to think about and could lead to easier takedowns and from there, submissions. He's a phenomenal fighter and his fights never disappoint.

[@stephenhartley2853]

his pull guard game is good enough for all 205's except maybe anthony smith, texeira would be a hard sub too

Thought he handled it well. I like his straightforward manner. Solidifies the difference between closet haters and what a real man is supposed to be. Disciplined, responsible, and focused. These type of people are aware what kind of nonsense is going on out there. But can’t be bothered because they got objectives and goals to fulfill. He’s on the path to success. While those idiots are on the path towards destruction. So it’s okay to ask those questions. That way ignorant people may learn something from his ways.

Well, if breaking bones on purpose is fair game, might as well take that guillotine to the next step to ensure your win. As much as I support UK fighters, I didn't like ending Hill's career. The jiu-jitsu was great but this is a full contact sport with rules trying to prevent this type of brutality however, the ref' let Hill down. Paul's stand up is good but Hill would've got the best of him. Going up against good grapplers is dangerous...don't underestimate.
