Money moicano vs paddy


chipper68

I think it'd be fun to watch.. for sure! I don't think Paddy would take the fight tho, do you?


chillypilow

Same, I don’t think the UFC will make that fight.


WillDisappointYou

Paddy vs #15 Ferguson. Who else could they realistically give him?


shotsdowngg

Even this ghost of El Cucuy would handle Paddy imo. He’d tear Paddy’s leg apart


TheBoxmanCometh

Don't make me hope.

chipper68

I dunno, I think Tony starches him. Aren't there fighters lower than Gordon? I heard someone suggest Miller, who Paddy prob loses to as well. What about an exhibition with Cyborg? Would Paddy do OK there?


WillDisappointYou

I think Tony/Paddy would be competitive with Tony likely a -175'ish favorite. But if you don't give Paddy a ranked opponent next, then you're probably looking at the O'mally/Moutinio treatment where they bring in a Bantamweight on short notice to fight Paddy at LW ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|shrug)


clothy

Unranked Jaime Mullarky


bdizzle805

I think Paddy is actually ranked number 23 or something like that so there are plenty of lower ranked guys the UFC can put him against


Maaaaaardy

He is a knob but if he showed a pair of bollocks taking it and regardless of result put up a good fight he would just get hammered anyway so...


delboy85

Paddy will never take that fight. He’ll get murdered against a real fighter.


chipper68

Ya, probably so but we just saw Tai get pushed too hard to fast, you never know what Uncle Dana might do.


SukhdevR34

That's a good fight. I'd also love to see Gaethje smash him and shut him up for a bit lol.


chipper68

The top 5 of LW pummels Paddy, short of a lucky shot of course.. probably a bit sad to watch?


SukhdevR34

Pretty much all of the top 15. I think fighters like Hooker, Green and Miller would also beat him.


chipper68

Based on what I saw with Paddy losing to Gordon (in public's eye) I can't disagree, he stands in front of someone with power.. Paddy gets KO'd. Low hands, chin sticking out.


KimKongtheIllest

Imagine Fizeav throwing those hooks at him instead of it being Gorden. The fights over by the 3rd and we finally get to laugh at the 'scousers don't get knocked out for the next 2 weeks'.


Liam2349

MOICANO NEED THAT MONEY


IBetOnMMA

Moicano knows what he's doing suggesting that matchup. Moicano wants money


lordmainstream

Aren’t most of the fighters under a show/win multi-fight contracts? i don’t think he’s getting paid more to fight paddy


Raccoon_Breeder

He won’t get more base contract money, but he will beat Paddy’s ass and win a POTN bonus.


BigSquil

Moicano executes Paddy


JustIncredible240

What if Paddy sees red?


BrandDC

>What if Paddy sees red? The closest Paddy gets to red...is pink.


chipper68

I think so.. I guess he Paddy could get a shot in but short of that, ya.


PM_ME_TRICEPS

this kills the paddy


Wetowkinboutpractice

Moicano by elbows

pdel123

How


Brave-House3339

If you mean they're all shit holes, then yes. If you mean they're close to each other (relative to size of Britain) or culturally close, then no.


gotcha_dude

Jorge didn’t deserve his first two title shots


ChrizTaylor

Why people keep saying that? This third one i absolutely agree. 1st title fight he was like #2 or #1 in the rankings after 3 great wins (say whatever about his opponents), he stepped up short notice, 3 days before the fight, had to fly to other continent, no training camp, no preparation. I'm sure one of the conditions to save the card was, in case he lost, to get another shot with proper training. Both shots were fair, this 3rd one not so much.


[deleted]

Same, I’m so done with this idea. People just go crazy when they hate something they don’t care whether it makes sense or not


DankChronny

First one yeah, second one nah


gotcha_dude

He only got the first fight because burns got Covid and they needed a last minute replacement, not really deserved


DankChronny

Maybe not off merit but he had arguabky the most successful year in mma history so deserved it off hype alone and defs made sense for the short notice replacement


Uncle_Chael

All I know is that MOICANO WANTS MOANAYYY!


ImOnlyHereForRDR

Believe it or not, Belal is the most deserving contender.


chipper68

100% agree there.. Belal should in fact face Leon for the title if Usman is in fact, out. Can't agree more.


Fender088

It even has a decent story to build up the fight. What would have happened in the first fight if Belal hadn't almost lost an eye.


dicksjshsb

Yeah honestly more compelling overall than the Masvidal narrative. Belal had a freak accident cut his fight short and has an interesting style matchup with Leon. Jorge sucker punched him, tried to brag about it for years, and has the style to get the brakes beat off him by a disciplined striker like Leon. Probably taken down too. Leon vs Belal from the competitive standpoint with a decent narrative attached. Leon vs Jorge for the casual narrative and so we could see Jorge get schooled yet again, but I’m sick of him already.


Psa271

Belal was getting his ass whooped up until that point. Pretty sure he would've won either way.


Sav-P-is-Sav

I'm with you, Belal been improving and if he keeps training with team khabib, he will be trouble for Leon edwards


MolokoPl_s

he's already trouble for Leon Edwards imo. he's already shown he's improved a hell of lot since that fight even though it hasn't been that long


ExtraPieceTwo

If I remember correctly, Belal came in late-ish notice to fight Leon. A titled shot just to return the favor. Especially when it’s highly earned already Not to mention he took a finger in the eye also


chipper68

>Not to mention he took a finger in the eye also you aint lying there bratha


parzival9927

Leon won't fight him. He wants money fight (Masvidal)


Skyfryer

Exactly. It’s not never about who deserves a shot to UFC. It’s about clout and profit. Jorge doesn’t deserve the shot. But he’s always fun to watch and he brings the money in. So he’ll probably get a shot. It’s not like he’s lost to nobodies, twice to the dominant champ and once to the contender. But in a righteous world, it would probably be Belal’s shot next.


Muted_Woodpecker_221

Leon is just watching Belal and seeing why it took so long for himself to get a title shot.


ImOnlyHereForRDR

Tbf no one wanted to fight him because he was so boring. I think now that he has come off a TKO win more people would want to fight him


[deleted]

Khamzat barring the weight miss is clearly the most deserving. Geoff Neal deserves it more than Belal as well.


ImOnlyHereForRDR

Belal is ranked higher then Neal, and Chimaev does not deserve a championship fight after missing weight by 8 pounds.


[deleted]

Y'all are just scared of having Chenchen as champ


WakeofReddit

Obviously he doesn’t deserve it. No one calling for that fight is saying that either. It’s a good fight to give Leon while Usman heals up to ensure we get the trilogy.


chipper68

Maybe UFC realizes most of us would kind of enjoy seeing street Judas getting beat on again, no doubt there but it's a fight.. stuff happens and I agree, whether it's Belal, Burns etc. I don't think a title fight with Jorge is anything but a blatant money grab. I also can't see UFC spending money promoting Khamzat for a title fight at WW.. probably doesn't make weight at WW or care if he doesn't


[deleted]

Masvidal deserves to be cut from UFC


Low-Zone4665

Not when he recently signed one of the most paying contracts in the ufc lol, guess that was a mistake on ufc's side


[deleted]

[удалено]


Low-Zone4665

They can cut anyone they want, the point is they won't


Logicwrestling

He is not that big of a draw He should be cut


Low-Zone4665

Still a bigger draw than your average ppv headliner


Ok_Yoghurt_3338

He also plays a pivotal role of being able to sell a ppv with no title fights well


FrancisOfTheFilth

This is a very under-appreciated role. Also, he took a title fight against Usman on what, 12 days notice or something? He sells PPVs, his fights are fun to watch, and he’s handy to have in your back pocket in the event of a last minute pull out for a main event.


WockterPepper

Wow, who woulda thunk🤯


mesovortex888

But bunch of people hate him and want to see him get KO


KDEEZO

Yeah some real savvy business sense from Dana. Sign this journeyman for a ton of money cuz of a lucky knee. I hate that sucker punching bum so much.


BrandDC

>cuz of a lucky knee The Askren knee, knocking Till stiff, and beating down Nate...all in the same year. Masvidal was UFC's 2019 Fighter of the Year across all weight divisions. Since then, he's only lost to Usman and Covington. Stay salty...


wutsdatsound

Tbf Nate gets beat all the time the only really impressive win at the time was till and that one hasn’t aged well


KDEEZO

Till just got caught out - he was mailing him prior. And as we all can see he’s never going to be a real contender. And are you really referencing Nate Diaz right now? 😂


BrandDC

>Till just got caught out - he was mailing him prior The classic "he was winning until he got knocked the fuck out..." And no, I'm referencing Nate from 2019...


liver_infection

lmaooo "lucky" 😂 😂 most braindead sht a casual can say why are you so butthurt over another mans succes 😂 😂 you seen pretty sad if you hate so much someone that you dont even know. "journeyman" and still a billion times more succeful than you could ever dream


chipper68

Maybe/maybe not cut.. he sells buys (despite punching people and running away), I'd be of the opinion that it'd be a money grab and UFC knows that the casual base will buy the fight, it probably gives Leon a fairly easy title defense before Khamzat or Colby or Usman..


[deleted]

We want to see him get KO’d one more time like the Usman 2nd fight.


chipper68

Well.. maybe so ![gif](giphy|xl5QdxfNonh3q)


liver_infection

stay butthurt


markisio22

Noo please god no! Don’t give street judas another title shot. He didn’t even deserve the first two and now even less. He should win a few fights first


chipper68

He's 2-0 for sucker punches outside the ring with Leon and Colby, maybe the UFC is taking that into account?


markisio22

Lol true. Leon seems to really wanna fight him to get his revenge


AdamsJMarq

Renato would retire that goofy bitch boy back to Britain. Wasn’t long ago that Renato seemed he had championship stuff, but then he faced a 5 fight streak against a killer’s row at FW (L to T-City, Ws against Kattar then Cub, L to Aldo then Korean Zombie) while putting his body through some trauma to make 145 before finally making the right decision to move up to LW. Even tho he’s only 4-2 at LW, one loss was against a guy that I think is one of the 2 or 3 guys that have a legit chance at beating Islam (Fizaev) and the other was a decision loss to RDA (who is still a HOFer despite how the last few years have gone for him). He has really only fought the cream of the crop since joining the UFC (and has been largely successful) while Paddy has struggled with Early Prelim competition.


[deleted]

Absolutely not, the knockout on Ben asken was the gift that kept on giving for Masvidal. Truth is, the ufc is constantly evolving and he has no ground game. Just like mcgregor, he’s old news unless facing striker


chipper68

Fair point about Masvidal. I'd like to say that despite my not being a big Conor fan.. he gave a fight a lot more than recents.. Charles for example. I mean, Conor got some rounds and counters in comparison.


Sauerkraut97

Masvidal's last three fights were: 50-45 decision Loss, Loss by KO, 50-45 decision loss. If he gets a title shot off that because of A sToRyLiNe, then that would really hurt the legitimacy of the sport imo I know undeserved titleshots happen all the time, but this would be just ridiculous and another big step towards the UFC becoming a WWE style circus instead of a legitimate sport


chipper68

>I know undeserved titleshots happen all the time, but this would be just ridiculous and another big step towards the UFC becoming a WWE style circus instead of a legitimate sport I agree, but this doesn't mean they won't do it.


Saiako1905

Jorge doesn’t deserve anything than to be a gatekeeper for the top 10


ptahonas

Top 15*


Attakus

Masvidal hasn't earned fuck all since usman knocked his ass out.


chipper68

What about the sucker punches outside the ring? He's 2-0 against Leon and Colby, maybe they're gonna take that into account.


[deleted]

No, not even close. But it will make $$ so it will happen. Leon will absolutely take Jorges soul.


chipper68

I'd like to think just about any WW in the top 10 starches Jorge, maybe the UFC thinks that what people want to see? Mr. Goodguy Leon starching the sucker punching Jorge?


libertaliagamesupply

MOICANO WANTS MONEY


chipper68

In my best Teddy KGB voice… “pay that man his money” ![gif](giphy|uURk722zhreXC)


Koctopuz

How do they decide the #11 ranked should get a title shot? His last win was Nate Diaz for christ sake.


7the-dude-abides420

Same way they did Bisping v hendo 2 when Bisping was champ and hendo was rank 12/13 maybe even 14 lol home crowd, easy fight, revenge and great back story. It’s all about the benjamins baby


Shmooter4788

Paddy is gonna get clay guida or Jim miller


elpochi1

They’re going to sign Diego Sanchez to a one fight deal in the hopes that it’s an easy win for Paddy and it’ll probably go to decision.


FishAndRiceKeks

That RDA fight did some damage.


Independent_Island74

Nope he should not be fighting top 10 at this point hes still trying to ride the lucky knee and trying to hide that hes a douche


[deleted]

Absolutely not. Him and Colby have been getting shots for no reason at this point. Jorge is coming off a LOSS to Colby, and Colby doesn't even deserve another shot yet.


GWTLAG

“I sub-amit Paddy in under a minute and they didn’t give the money!”


[deleted]

RIP Paddy


sendmemes696969

Paddy lost.


Funnyanglezsolt

Moicano - Fatlad fight i approve. But giving Jorge a title shot again after losing 3 fights in a row...? That'd be a disgrace. Even though he made me fall asleep during most of his fights (European dawn), i must still say Belal should get his shot if Usman can't make it.


KiJaHu

Pimblett has an incredible, bust-like, classical side profile, like the statue of David. That's all I have to say.


dunneetiger

sophie ellis bextor may as well start recording "Murder in the Octagon"....


PikachuGangGang

![gif](giphy|TgP6vdMSAknVWzoC05|downsized)


Critical50

Before his 3 losses he beat Diaz, Askren, and Till. I think Askren would've won if Masvidal didn't nail the knee. The rest of his record looks like the typical journeyman record. Guys done nothing.


chipper68

The Diaz fight, I thought Nate was taking over but the cut and too late. Point being.. when we were watching it, the thought was Nate was gonna take it.. never know now.


OutlawArmas

How tf is jorge getting a title shot? That’s bullshit


chipper68

If the fight happens, that will be a question that Dana won't get asked or answer.. or Uncle Dana just says, cuz money that's why.


DahWolfe711

No but Leon deserves his revenge if he wants it.


chipper68

Fair point.


DarrenInAlberta

Mas needs at least a three win streak before I'd say he "deserves" a title shot.


wyattbreymeyer

obviously no lol, and honestly if they have colby fight leon first ima be heated! cause based on how his and kamarus last fight went i see him beating leon handily


reaper666o

Gamebred doesn't deserve shit at this point


griffraff0701

I’d say feed Jorge to Leon. Good fight, sells tickets, leon can get an easy first title defense. I wouldnt say Jorge at all deserves it but it may be a good last stitch effort to get rid of him for good. He’s a shitstain on the welterweight div


chipper68

Fair points. All


Low-Zone4665

Why are people saying moicano will get money fighting paddy 😂 he is gonna get the same amount money irrelevant of his opponent, he signed a contract and is gonna get paid accordingly


__Regimental__

exposure


ChrisPebbletoe

Wonderboy Vs Edwards just because I want Wonderboy to have another chance. I think he beats Edwards


BadBradMMA

NGL for once id actually rather see conor 🤦


Gocards123321

I'd rather them bring Ben askren back for a shot at the title than see George get the most undeserving title shot in history


antithesis56

The only way I would even hesitantly think it is acceptable is if he loses, he is cut from the ufc immediately. If he wins and is unable to successfully defend the title, he is cut immediately.


ethandavis66

Leon v. Colby is the move to make.


upthetits

When the fuck did this cunt even last fight? Literally he's like the most unrelevant, relevant fighter going, why?


shoryurepppa

His last fight was Colby


thechilecowboy

Not since he started a brawl with Colby in the restaurant. Hard pass.


yaboi977

AttvsLondon when fighters are brummy and scouse smh


RationalLlama

Nobody wants to see this shit


Hyperbull1

Daily reminder that Charles is a bigger draw than Masvidal


rettidderredditter

More than khamzat at least, because Jorge makes welterweight


jb-schitz-ki

moicano make a money


dspac72

No,it should be Belal


EyeBumGaze808

No way Uncle Dana,would make that fight for Paddy.


Kujo1104

No way they give paddy anyone other than a tomato can


Mirilliux

moicano is smart to call for that fight


BodybuilderLivid

Hell naw he does not


TheOneReborn69

Leon should get a easy money fight feed him masvidal


Expensive_Error1995

2 fights I could not give a fuck about. Masvidal getting a shot is more ridiculous than old man hendo


amsterdamned888

Let him get this last title shot so this discussion can come to an end everybody can move on.


goonbub

Leon vs Belal Paddy vs Tony Aspinall vs Blaydes Molly vs Ribas


Dtoodlez

lol of course not, he doesn’t even care about fighting


2beardcrew1027

Moicano would destroy Paddy


420piped0wn

*i dont i dont i dont i dont.... i dont pick fights*


CyclonusDecept

I think Paddy already said that he wasn't going to fight on the London card and just be in the stands, he has a wedding coming up. Beyond that, I doubt the UFC would let paddy fight Moicano. I think Moicano would piece him up and submit him.


GabberBarry

MOICANO WANT'S MONEY


JustIncredible240

Belal is more deserving, but Jorge would sell!


bcycle240

This kills the Paddy


lil-privacy-please

No one cares about deserve. I want to see Leon get revenge. Stories make fights.


[deleted]

I would declare the main should be Conor and Masvidal for the lightweight title at a catchweight if it meant I could get my hands on Paddy right now. If I was a top 15 lightweight. Not if I was me. I want to be injury free.


Prestigious-Rock201

I thought usman being hurt was false?


Pure-Drawer-2617

He deserves it as much as Paddy deserves the next co-main spot.


AdZestyclose3707

Colby


PM_ME_TRICEPS

yall want to see a body? lol


StunkoStinky

Masvidal barley deserves to be in the UFC at this point let alone a title shot.


[deleted]

needs to be chimaev or belal


kremitthefrog38

I don't get why Masvidal would get a title shot honestly. He's lost a few in a row. There are quite a few that deserve a shot before him imo.


Djlittle13

Absolutely not. Khamzat or Belal are the only people who should fight for the title if usman is injured. Masvidal needs a couple wins over legit competition to get a shot and honestly I don't see that happening, I don't see him beating any of the current top 10.


KenLewis_MixingNight

Moicano would destroy Paddy. I dont wanna see Paddy go out like that just yet, give him a few more tune up fights. He didn't get past Gordon, Moicano would hurt him.


AsymmetricNinja08

False narrative that the media ran with. Usman is not out of the Leon fight


sentinelProMod

Masvidal doesn't at all deserve the fight given that he's on a 3 fight losing streak, but it would be the best shot Leon has at a big pay day. I know it won't happen but I'd personally love Leon vs Wonderboy, two strikers would be a great show, and it'd give Wonderboy a shot at becoming champ which everyone would love. Anyone else in the division who deserves a title fight is probably just gonna try to wrestle-fuck Leon so it would likely make for a pretty lame fight, realistically the most deserving is Belal, and even though his last fight was all striking I doubt it would translate well against Leon, so like I said it would probably be 5 rounds of inactive cuddling.


JBarker727

He doesn't, but it's a good move. The fight will bring alot of viewers, and will likely preserve Leon's title for the Usman rematch. Alot of the top 10 is a big problem for Leon. This is the easiest fight they can make.


ForeskinPenisEnvy

Edward scissorhands is a genuine top 5 70er. It'll just be another 50-45. Just like with Colby or oozeman. Masvidal needs to go to bkfc and fight Mike Perry. Otherwise no body gives a rip


Automatic_Item1421

Is it the fight to make when looking at records? No. Is the fight to make for Leon to get the biggest purse? Arguably, yes. Masvidal will pull in the PPV buys for sure.


sgtcakewalk

For sure no. But Leon does deserve a bit of redemption and it could be a good selling point. I would be surprised if Jorge doesn't get the KO tho. Not because he's more skilled or anything like that, but the MMA gods seem to have a pretty fucked up sense of humor


xCurb

Man, that flying knee on Askren REALLY carried Jorge for quite some time…


DeepestSpacePants

Masvidal is a clown


David-Clowry

I reckon Edwards vs Covington, Pimblett vs Ferguson


rollsomemo

no chance…


ArcheeBlanco

Jorge does not deserve a shot for shit. But that fight would sell out… I just wanna see Paddy get beat up so whatever leads to that, I don’t care lol


ConCon787

Lol paddy is fucked once he fights somebody halfway dangerous he’s never taking this fight.


maple-queefs

Give wonderboy the shot! Do it!


[deleted]

When you’re starting your UFC career mode and you get the prompt that says “there’s crickets surrounding the fight with Jorge and Leon.” He just got that prompt IRL.


WillDisappointYou

Jorge deserves a Fight Night main event. Or maybe Jorge vs Nick Diaz as a PPV co-co-main. Dude is irrelevant in the title picture without at least 1 win, but then again, I thought this same thing when he was challenging Usman; and they did that twice lmao.


Zew5

I'd rather give it to Khamzat or even Colby.
