In this fight, paddy proved he can take a punch, several punches, being outboxed a little bit, deal with a full press and even get knocked a bit from one combination - get taken down, collect his senses, get up, and then of course knock his opponent out. Part of that Paddy is the dedication to training and being in very good shape. Please Paddy, dont lost sight of that point and how meaningful it is to the win.

@@UndeadRedux i agree that is where he could tighten up his game…get hit less… however, certain special fighters gotta get clocked a couple times to find that destroy mode. Regardless, i believe he will make his way to a belt. His most dangerous opponent imho? His desire to eat and eat and eat. Weight cuts get harder as ya age. Halloway will attest to that. I wish him the best and frankly a GSP or Mighty mouse kind of career. He seems to be a decent guy and could be great for the sport and for youngsters as a good example.

[@monke8478]

I really like this fight the pace was ferocious. Vendramini was wicked fast and came to fight and win. His left hook is mean. Paddy looked asleep for the first half of round 1. The left hook that caught him shook him and woke him up. He realised like bisping said in the commentary that hes in the ufc now and every opponent is lethal and can finish you in seconds with a good shot. Paddy got his arse in gear and started firing back after that. Paddy is a warrior and loves the chaos of war, he has exceptional skill, natural fighting talent and speed. When he turned it on he overwhelmed vendramini and bullied him. Great fight

I didn’t remember this fight correctly at all. He was losing the first 4 minutes then randomly went crazy in the last minute of the round

Losing? You must be joking. Having a big rush over and over and then burning out does not mean a fighter almost won a fight.

[@Oooo-bi7bi]

He’s got me putting some time in to understand MMA. He’s from the north west of England where I grew up. Meatball Molly is from the same part of Liverpool that my granny was and where I spent a lot of my childhood. Now I have taken the time to learn a bit about the sport I’m a fan. Watched the documentaries about Conor McGregor and realised he’s a smart guy. They are all good for the sport. His honesty and manners are how we are brought up in the north west what used to be all in Lancashire. I’m now a converted fan who until these guys . As a big Queensbury rules fan thought that MMA wasn’t for me and didn’t make sense. It’s easy to relate to when you see one of your own up there. He’s got a big heart and cares about the people of Liverpool. SCOUSE POWER.
